Its funny how people perceive the sub-genre. Few can grasp how I find more in common between Spastic Ink and Return to Forever than I can between Gentle Giant and King Crimson. My favorites in the sub:
Martyr - Feeding the Abscess
Watchtower - Control and Resistance
Spastic Ink - Ink Compatible
Spiral Architect - Sceptics Universe
Voivod - Dimension Hatross
Coprofago - Unorthadox Creative Criteria
Canvas Solaris - Penumbra Diffuse
Death - Sound of Perserverance
Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium (More an RIO band, IMHO. And one I have PA to thank for the discovery)

Did you ever listen to Behold...the Arctopus debut album? I tend to like that one better.

^^^ I heartily agree with the Psycroptic recommendation. Seem 'em several times live, and they were something to behold. First saw them when I was 'round 15 at a metal festival called Blood lust III, they came on the stage after 'Destroyer 666' and absolutely blew them away. Matt Chalk's vocals floored me, never heard anything like 'em. Still have not picked up their latest album, my spirits were dampened when I heard Matt left the band. There is another band from Tasmania, which sound somewhat similar, but their name is escaping me at the moment, if I remember I will post it hear, they are quite good.

Focus was pretty much awesme, amazing vocals and musicianship, I'm getting the album on monday!!!!
Best death album please? |
Human if you're a death metal fan, symbolic if that's a bit too heavy for you.
|
Symbolic for me too but you should also try ' The Sound of Perseverance', their last effort Wikipedia speaks the truth: This album, in particular, employs a style more akin to progressive metal than the earliest Death releases, although since Human and the albums following it, the band had been developing more toward
this style. The average song time on this album is around 6 minutes
long.

i'd probably say 4 or 4.5 out of 5. not perfect, but still amazing. great technical instrumental metal album, and some of the best musicianship i've ever heard. definitely pick it up if you get a chance.

good choice. it's a real treat for anyone into that sort of thing. you'll have to let us know what you think. also i think mastodon deserves some mention in this thread if nobody has mentioned them yet.

i agree, i don't think their purpose is for it to be memorable. i think they just try to assault your ears for half an hour and then when the album is done all you can remember is just how mindblowing the experience was. that album just gives me a constant adrenaline rush, and i'm surprised as well at how the band is able to remember to play those songs.
