The band is After the Burial. listen to the song called "Pi: The Mercury God of Infinity". It's definetley the most complex thing i've ever heard. The have a blog up there on how they made the rhythm up. I saw them last night with Born of Osiris and was truly amazed when they played this.
Get a 7 string or get out.

Sounds more complex than it actually is; once you know the counting pattern it is quite easy. It is certainly a lot less complex than for example "The Rites of Spring".

I was liking the band up to the vocals. Nothing original here.

Sorry.

Aren't most prog pieces a lot less complex than The Rites of Spring? Wink

That makes me want to retract what I said about them, that is liking what I heard.

The most complex thing that I've heard and enjoyed has been the music of Behold...The Arctopus

Yeah, similar to Meshuggah, but the 'shug is a lot better.  Meshuggah has tuff-guy vocals, but After the Burial has some really trite metalkore vocals.

If you're into this sort of thing, try Meshuggah, Psyopus, or Behold... the Arctopus.

Meshuggah ripoff through-and-through, and I don't even like Meshuggah...

Yea that video is pretty embarrassing.

I've noticed alot of bands like this: "whatever-core" style band playing complex time sigs, polyrhythms,  even keyboards... but everything that I've heard seems like its all put together just to make a heavy breakdown that kids are supposed to hardcore dance to. Its all the rage here in Fort Worth, TX. You can't visit a high school without seeing the trendy kids sporting shirts from bands like these. I'd hate to make those kind of generalizations, but I haven't heard anything that tells me otherwise. I've found that once you get over the whole shock factor of the insanely heavy, aggressive sound that they're all going for, there's not really much left to discover.

Am I wrong though? Am I missing anything?

Alot of these bands are calling themselves prog too... some are pretty close, some are wayyyyy off. I've even heard some use the term "prog-core" before... that was a good laugh.

If you want some REALLY difficult metal, try out Spastic Ink.

Meshuggah is way more complicated.
 
Go listen to the likes of "I" and tell me that is complicated. Tongue
