Well there's quite the variety, but it is general consensus that Necrophagist were involved when it all started around 20 years ago. Much has happened since then and it keeps on getting better and better. Check First Fragment for super complex neoclassical swingy thechdeath. Or a bit more brutal and also recent: Archspire
A really fun one to add is Wizardthrone! They're certainly not as funky but they're incredibly technical and way over my head when it comes to the math in their music lol.
Also, I just popped on La Veuve et Le Martyr and got immediate Stormkeep vibes. Then it got F U N K Y damn that's good.
Yeah and it keeps getting better the more you listen to it. Can't grasp all that's going on in just a few listens. Om the other hand it can take just as much time until it really clicks.
Atheist and Death are also big names in the genre for more recs, I think Periphery fits too but I'm not too clear where technical ends and progressive begins, but my fav current would be Archspire
My personal favorite is Decapitated. Try the song "Spheres of Madness" first. If you really dig that sound and would like something faster and more aggressive, check out the album "Winds of Creation". If the production value isn't high enough for you, you can check out some newer stuff. I like the songs "Veins" on "Blood Mantra" and "Impulse" on "Anticult".
