^^Good stuff man.
ANyway, did I mention, Crimson Massacre here?

Psycroptic (the most technical band I have ever listened to), Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, Decapitated, Death and Arsis (some is pretty technical).

Oh YAY!! Long time no see with you two guys on MS (mvikred & Cryptic Myth), and posts in here which im happy about

@ mvikred: I started to check out a track from Braindrill ... but my computer kicked off and i only got to hear the first 10 -20 seconds of a track, sounds good so far, and i dont remember the track so im pissed off at my computer at the moment for screwing up. Though i will check out more tomorrow.

@ Cryptic Myth: Dont think you, although i have heard a couple of tracks recently and i like what their doing. Only heard 2 tracks, but im impressed with what ive heard.

I never saw Decapitated as very technical, comapred to other bands labeled as techincal deathmetal.... am i just noobing

Ok thuink we have enough of the obvious bands listed think i'l change the topic question.

@ King Antichrist:

Dont get me started on Psycroptic

Im building up my Techinical Death Metal collection and im wondering what bands and albums should be needed in this collection.
Im a fan of Suffocation and Psycroptic, and... actually those are the only bands coming to mind at the moment *massive blank*
Any list albums that should be inclued in the collection, bands and/or albums.

U like suffocation??? Then Beheaded is the band for you. Check them out !!

the luster of pandemonium is a good album , ive been listenin to it quite a bit recently

mvikred

beheaded is good too . but not sure if u can term them as tech death ... anyways .. ive been listening to lot of severed saviour these days .... brutality is law is such an amazing album...i'd suggest all u tech death and brutal death fans to chk that album .. trust me , it'll leave u exhausted

and braindrill is strongly suggested .. and its the band that has been mentioned by alex webster in one of his intervviews.... he found them to a breed apart. trust me they are .. they are relentlessly brutal and technical the same time

the new dawn on azazel is pretty good. apart from that im not really into technical-death

Yeah, Brutality is Law is a pretty good cd. I was impressed with some of the guitar riffs but I didn't really care for how the drums were recorded. They also kick ass live \m/

Beheaded and Visceral Bleeding are like soul brothers.I was in malta for half a year and saw them live.It was smth wonderful.

NECROPHAGIST!!!or in France i ve heard a band which scared me by their technic : LEX TALIONIS, try it if you can, very impressive.You have Anata in Sweden, and Amoral in Finland too

i agree necrophagist is a great tech-death metal band...others are of course nile, sleep terror, spawn of possesion...what do u think about cephalic carnage?

Would it be considered blasphemy if I said Atheist's albums didnt click for me:P:P:P:P:P?

You should try Neglected Fields - it's a Russian band from Latvia. Their guitar parts are impressive. Btw their bassist is very good (as far as i know, he's one of the best bass players in Latvia).
More info about this band is available on http://www.neglectedfields.lv/,

Discography:
Synthinity
Mephisto Lettonica
Splenetic

I haven't heard the last one but the 1.st and 2.nd are great!
P.S. Their vocalist is bad singer but i think it doesn't matter very much if we talk about technical death.

Well you can also try the more jazz-influenced death metal bands. Try Cynic, their first and only album Focus is a masterpiece, but have to be open minded to enjoy it. Also Atheist are an amazing band, they have released three albums only and they are all amazing, my personal favourite is their second (Unquestionable Presence) but you should try their debut which is less jazz-influenced. Finally try Pestilence, they are amazing. Try Consuming Impulse which is a true death metal masterpiece with Von Drunen (Asphyx) on vocals and it's not so experimental but if you want something more complex then try their third album "Testimony Of The Ancients" where they start getting influenced by jazz,there the vocals are handled by their guitarist Mameli who sounds a lot like Tardy (Obituary).

@Fimnulvetr, you forgot the only Pestilence album which really is proggy/jazzy : Spheres ! The guitars have some specific production that I like there.

cynic, pestilence, death, decapitated (nihility!), unholy ghost, and sceptic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:devil:

...i've heard neglected-fields and i liked them, i can't get their material around here but it'll be nice if i got some, i'll check out what i find at the link, thanx...
...cynic is an excellent band, i wish they realesed more albums, it would be fantastic...

Definatly, Cynic's 'Focus' was a very good release ... too bad it was their only one

Gorguts, I'm getting obsessed with this band... "Obscura" is a fucking killer album! I love their avant-gardish touch.

yes, cynic, decapitated, sceptic, origin, nile, atheist, divine empire are all good tech death!

I never knew Yes was considered Technical Death Metal. I always just saw them as Prog Rock. Haha.

Yeah Pestilence is fking OWNAGE !!

I dont know if anyone has said these bands but all of these bands are Technical Death Metal at its best for sure, Maligimancy, Necrophagist, Odious Mortem, Vile. These bands are definatly technical death metal and also very brutal at the same time, i hope you enjoy them as much as i do

Vile's technical death?? Gargh! Wish i knew this before, theres a cd been sitting in shop for ages. I'll have to give it a listen. Thanks for that

uuhhh, not really. Vile is a good brutal death metal band, but they're not really technical as say...Necrophagist or Atheist.

are Fearer counted as tech death?

Monstrosity, Atheist, and Necrophagist
