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)

I remember Slipknot as being the radio-friendly stand-in for hardcore, with MTV-ish radio hits like Duality. But damn, I forgot how HARD they went on the first couple albums. This is a great example of why plenty of death metal fans in my age range cite them as a gateway drug.

Oh yeah, I got hooked on a couple songs off that first Slipknot album.

Some of my other gateway bands: Static-X, Mudvayne, Coal Chamber, Deftones (especially Adrenaline), Ministry, RATM, White Zombie, fuck I might as well post my whole CD book from high school lmao.

Mudvayne was just a great band. Ryan is a beast bass player.

Totally agreed. Did you ever get into supergroup Hellyeah with Mudvayne’s vocalist?
