A community for the technical death metal subgenre. Share and discuss music that melts your face!

Rules:

Don't be a dick.
Try not to get too bogged down in genre-gatekeeping. Discussing the "tech" credentials of some release/band is fun, but as long as it's oozing viscera, it probably has a place here. Shredbang!
Suggested (not enforced) music-posting format, mostly to distinguish band name from album/song title:
Artist - Album Or Song (Location, Year) (ffo: These Bands) (links)
ffo ("for fans of") and added links (e.g. YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp, Encyclopaedia Metallum) are optional but can make it easier to check out the music you're sharing.

Examples:

Carnosus - Fermenting Blastospheres of Future Putridity (Sweden, 2023)
Job For A Cowboy - Sun Eater (USA-AZ, 2014) (ffo: All Shall Perish, Wretched) (yt, s, bc, em)

Thanks for the round up. Can you give me a rundown of the controversy regarding Obscura?

Steffen Kummerer (vocals, guitar) did a plagiarism. Christian Münzner (guitar) and Alex Weber (bass) quit in late 2024, citing "creative differences". Then on the album, Steffen included music his departed bandmates had written, after agreeing not to.

Ohh that really sucks to hear...

Agreed. If it were some mid-tier band, meh these things happen. But Obscura are kinda titans. So I’m revisiting the other band members’ side projects: Obsidious, Alkaloid, looking forward to Retromorphosis, etc.

Fully agree, at that level this kind of stuff just shouldn't happen... I will definitely check those out!
