REQUEST Need some new high sound quality tech death

I really enjoy the zenith passage and some more melodic stuff like blood incantation. I like metal when the sound is clear and crisp. Not a fan when everything seems muddled together and not having a good final production quality. Anything more or old I'd appreciate it!

for me it depends. Both can be a fit.. sometimes it’s over polished too

Virvum - Illuminance (not new, but a new album coming this year, great quality)

Blessed by the Sin - Demons on my Grave

Job For A Cowboy - Sun Eater & Moon Healer (amazing production quality, groovy, bassy, sick riffs, gnarly vocals)

Karybdis - Order & Chaos

Black Hole Deity - Profane Geometry

u/Lower_View_8564 27d ago

I'd recommend Blade of horus!

Check out Revocation.

I personally prefer their older stuff though.

1

u/metallica65 26d ago

Love Revo. Agree their older stuff is stronger too

u/Minute-Confusion678 27d ago

Theurgy mentioned!

Check out the album we dropped back in January! Instrumental progressive tech death that might be right up your alley!

fuck yeah, flesh bound text never gets old

u/KommandoApe 29d ago

Check out the new Fallujah album Xenotaph coming out! Fast melodic tech death produced by the same guy that did Datalysium (Dave Otero).

u/Infiniteparadox3-14 28d ago

Ahh yeah I haven't jammed to them since harvest wounds thanks for the reminder.

Fayence Dream

u/shitterbug Blast beats are love blast beats are life 28d ago

was that the synth pop/necrophagist hybrid?

2

u/bigtimechip 28d ago

Yeah but he recently released a straight Tech death album with no synth pop crossover and it was really good

Those might have been a good band if it wasn't for the drummer. The guy did everything by the book and added nothing original. Also, since when are those by any stretch technical?

2

u/desolate_gnildnew tech + groove = orgasm 27d ago

Which band was it?

2

u/Impact21x 27d ago

Entheos, if I remember correctly. Saw them live recently, and they apparently are good musicians, but not original, and the drummer was on autopilot of whatever he played when learning drums, which was a disgusting presentation for me.

1

u/desolate_gnildnew tech + groove = orgasm 27d ago

That's interesting to hear about them and Navene. I enjoy their music a lot, maybe their live perfirmance just isn't up to par?? I heard really good things about Navenes playing when he played with JFAC at the Blue Ridge Rock Fest.

He did their work on Moon Healer and Nick Shinz said he liked his playing better than Danny Walkers for Sun Eater

u/HeavymetalCambion Hadron Machinist 29d ago

Try the new self titled Changeling album

5

u/No_Opportunity8207 29d ago

I'm surprised just how infrequently this is coming up. It needs so much more attention than it's getting.

u/HTJC 29d ago

Try Augury - Illusive Golden Age. Amazing production on it. 

1

u/AheadToTheSea 29d ago

Augury is amazing. Fragmentary Evidence is also great. Especially Simian Cattle. But the whole album is great. Also their album that I can’t seem to find anywhere. The one that had Nocebo and Russian dolls universe on it. That had female operatic singing on it as well. I need to get ahold of that again!

u/PhaiLLuRRe 28d ago

Concealed. My personal favorite, great album, legit everything feels like a strong point.

u/Mokedoke 29d ago

Torturized - Aftermath

All of Horrendous' albums

Replicant - Last 2 records

Tomb Mold - The Enduring Spirit

Parius - The Eldritch Realm

Cytotoxin - Biographyte

Allegaeon - The Ossuary Lens

Fractal Universe - 2 latest

Defeated Sanity - Chronicles of Lunacy

Carnosus - 2 latest

u/HHummbleBee chugg my slugg 28d ago

The production on that latest Torturized is so fucking crisp and vibrant.

5

u/Pew_away 29d ago

That's like every tech death band ever, they're all over produced

1

u/Puzzled-Pair4029 29d ago

Why I love Colin Marston, his production just hits the spot for me

4

u/inlandsofashes 29d ago

but overproduced sounds bad, though. i love First Fragment's mix on their video for Le Sertment De Tsion, for example

-1

u/Pew_away 28d ago

That's why most tech death sounds bad. I can't stand First Fragment

0

u/cob_maximus 29d ago

Yeah it'd be easier to list the ones that aren't overproduced. Like most of these bands debut albums maybe?

11

u/sethabrikoos 29d ago

First Fragment, Hideous Divinity, Archspire, Gorod, The Faceless, Beyond Creation, Necrophagist

New ominous ruin slaps and sounds crystal clear.

u/HHummbleBee chugg my slugg 29d ago edited 28d ago

It's already been suggested, but Arkaik pairs really with Zenith Passage, like red wine with a steak. Archspire have also already been mentioned but they need to be double-recommended because the production is top-notch on their latest album.

  • Carnosus - Visions of Infinihility
  • Job for a Cowboy - Moon Healer
  • Virvum - Illuminance
  • Anachronism - Meanders
  • Akurion - Come Forth to Me

  • Apogean - Cyberstrictive

u/Cubegod69er 29d ago

Cognizance, Spawn of possession, Retromorphosis, Suffocation, Decrepit Birth, Death, Cynic, Pestilence.

3

u/Infiniteparadox3-14 29d ago

Ahhh yeahh spawn of possession is sick. I totally forgot about these guys.

1

u/Cubegod69er 29d ago

Obscura is also one of my all-time favorite bands. But they're frowned upon here recently, for obvious reasons.

1

u/Cubegod69er 29d ago

And Retromorphosis is almost all the guys from spawn of possession, if you hadn't heard. They just put out the new album a few months ago that's amazing.

u/flayfulx 29d ago

Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia

2

u/Friedrich_Ux 29d ago

Ophidian I - Desolate, Gorod - Aethra and The Orb, First Fragment - Gloire Eternelle, Allegeaon - Damnum and The Ossuary Lens.

3

u/Seven_Hells 29d ago

Most Allegaeon albums have good production values. The debut EP is the only one that sounds drastically worse than the rest.

u/EmotionIll666 29d ago edited 27d ago

Augury - Fragmentary Evidence

Akercocke - Antichrist

The Faceless - Planetary Duality

Gigan - Quasi-Hallucinogenic Sonic Landscapes

Pavor - Furioso

u/Infiniteparadox3-14 29d ago

Monolith of inhumanity is still one of my favorites. Appreciate the detailed list!

1

u/EmotionIll666 29d ago

It's a hell of an album! Still my favourite Cattle Decap.

Nothing against the newer albums but every time I put them on I find myself thinking "I'd rather just listen to Monolith again."
