from their social:

OUT OCTOBER 15

We present to you “IMMANENCE”, our upcoming album and, without a doubt, our most brutal and mature work to date.

After retracing our steps, we decided to go back there once again — but not on foot.

BY BULLDOZER.

“When Nothing Persists” is only a glimpse of what awaits you on the album.

We are proud to have collaborated with Christopher Rannou Poulin for the album’s main recording and mixing. Thanks to him, we were able to bring the following seven songs to life, along with an introduction composed by Émile Légaré-Turcotte that will make your listening experience tremble.

I — THE OCCURRENCE
II — SHARED SINGULARITY
III — SINGULAR LUCIDITY
IV — WHEN NOTHING PERSISTS
V — CONCEALED
VI — SYNCHRONICITY
VII — CONSCIENT REFLECTIONS
VIII — THE BLOOMING SUN

"Immanence is about the concept of existence, starting with the creation of consciousness, through shared experience, until nothing exists anymore."

Pre-orders are now available through MELOGY, a 100% Quebec-based company that understands violent music.

Artwork by the incredible Mark Erskine.

Discussion If Rings of Saturn changed just a couple small things, I think we'd love it.

0 Upvotes
  1. Lose the deathcore growls. Guts only, or use a different vocal technique for those parts, maybe shouts? Just anything but that.

  2. No more stupid alien octave harmony effect on leads

  3. Don't intentionally produce it to sound like a guitar pro file. Go for like a more natural... maybe a little Colin Marston ish? Or kinda osdm?

Those 3 things. If Lucas Mann remade his albums according to those three points (especially 1 and 2) I think we'd all love it. Honestly, imo, the writing is there. It's just those three dumb choices that all but ruin what would otherwise be good music.

REQUEST Album Title Help

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,
I'm after some help with remembering an album and artist name.

I've been trying to find it for ages and it's driving me mental!

As far as I remember it was Cosmic/Prog Death
Metal.

The album or band name was like a Scientific Principle or Theory, eg The Metacronk Complex.
I remember the cover art being mostly green, with 4-6 humanoid Kings sat on thrones facing the viewer, with arches behind them.

I've tried Google Al and spent ages searching through all of the relevant playlists on Spotify (I appreciate Spotify may not be the best place to look, but it has a good amount of playlists that fit the bill)

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Working on some new Tech material for an EP. Curious as to what aspects of this song people like and should carry over? As well as opinions on the Mix.

I have have some other songs in different genres from my solo project.
Can find them on Spotify at The Omen Child if you're interested.

Thanks for checking it out if you do.

I’ve been enjoying this progressive technical death metal, or at least that’s how I classify it, and would love some recommendations for similar bands to check out.

Basically tech death but with expanded melodies in both instruments and vocals, with wider range of dynamics. I love tech death, but sometimes straight 240bpm just ain’t what you want to hear.

I love you all so much. My goal was to one day get 100 views on YouTube and now I am up to 400 and 450 on my Demos. I'm so grateful.

REQUEST Powerful/clean chorus work

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for technical, and/or progressive death metal with powerful clean choruses, melodic clean sections, and/or acoustic intros, interludes, etc...

Some similar examples of what I'm looking for would be Allegaeon: "Dark Matter Dynamics, Proponent for Sentience III: The Extinction, Of Beasts and Worms", Rivers of Nihil: "House of Light, The Sub-orbital Blues, Water and Time" Omnivide: "Arise, Void, Tyrannical Savior", In Mourning: "North Star", Borknagar: "Moon, Stars Ablaze".

Have I pretty much exhausted the options out there? I'm coming up with very little else. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Discussion Help me build a lineage of Technical Death Metal

20 Upvotes

I've been thinking about the history of Technical Death Metal and I'd like to try to map out its lineage.

Not just a list of bands by year, but more like a family tree: which bands were important in each period, who influenced who, and which bands helped shape what we now call tech-death.

I'm currently thinking about it in a few different waves, something like:

First wave / early foundations:

Death, Atheist, Pestilence, Nocturnus, Cynic, Gorguts, Demilich...

Second wave / 90s:

Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Death, Cynic, Demilich and others pushing the technical side even further.

Third wave / early 2000s:

Necrophagist, Decapitated, Spawn of Possession, Nile, Psycroptic, Origin, Arsis, Gorod...

Fourth wave / late 2000s–early 2010s:

Obscura, The Faceless, Decrepit Birth, Beyond Creation...

And then what I'd consider the newer generation:

Fifth wave:

First Fragment, Beyond Creation, Archspire, The Zenith Passage, Inferi, Equipoise, Fallujah, etc.

But I'm definitely not sure this is the best way to divide it.

For example, where exactly do bands like Suffocation, Gorguts and Demilich fit? Is Cryptopsy part of the same generation as Necrophagist, or are they an important bridge between two different eras?

And how much did Atheist → Cynic → Death → Gorguts/Cryptopsy → Necrophagist/Spawn of Possession → Obscura → Beyond Creation/First Fragment/Archspire actually influence each other?

I'd love to hear what you guys think.

If you had to build a family tree of Technical Death Metal, which bands would you put in it, and who would you say influenced who?

Feel free to mention lesser-known bands too. I'm trying to go deeper than the usual "Death → Necrophagist → Obscura → Archspire" timeline.

VOTE Thread Hey, is this a technical mistake on the new Gorod song, “Signs”?

I can’t unhear this note being off, during the 0:55-00:59 during “Signs”. Is it just me or is that note out of key? Every time I hear this song, at this part, my ear perks up and says “wait.. what?”. Is it a mistake by the guitarist, a recording/tech mishap or do you not hear anything out of the ordinary here?
