if any new band should be included in the archives, it is Exivious.... I just got their debut yesterday in the mail....and well it smokes!  To me it is like a mix between instrumental Cynic and a heavier Holdsworth.... simply stunning.  (Fusion) Metal album of the year for me, without a doubt!

Well, I'm a rather avid fan of the tech/ extreme metal genre as well as experimental/ post metal. But since it seems like this thread is strictly about tech/ extreme metal thread, I'll go ahead and post rather amazing tech/ extreme album that I have been listening to lately.

Ved Buens Ende's Written in Waters: This is such an interesting forgotten masterpiece of avant-garde metal. They only released one album together like many other bands and it is their only masterpiece. Its dark, gloomy, rather sludgey and the crooning vocals aalong with the walls of interesting guitar sounds really make this album cohesive in my opinion. If I could, I would buy a copy of the physical album.

If you have never ever heard of them, I highly recommend this album and band to whoever likes the slower, gloomier and perhaps more abstract side of the tech/ extreme metal. >:{D

they also had the rehearsals from their short-lived reunion in 2007, the release "those who caress the pale", and "coiled in obscurity".... they are way out of print or only available online, so do a blog search or something, you will find them. Wink  Also, Virus is just as good as VBE, if not better...

Out of all of Carl-Michael's projects, I think Virus is my favorite.  Both Carheart and The Black Flux are fantastic.  Carl's musical sense is so wacky.  Great beer drinking music.

There is a french brutal death metal borderline with tech death : Benighted. Their album 'icon' sounds very good. There seems to be a lot of good tech death bands around recently.
 
I am currently listening to Elvenking, a metal band that is somewhat interesting for the fact that they sound like a mix of Helloween, Rhapsody, Apocalypse (swiss thrash metal), Blind Guardian, Mago de Oz, Skyclad. Truly one of those rare metal gems. Their demo 'To oak woods bestowed' (the one I am discovering) is amazing. They would be a good addition to PA.

I have reviewed the Exivious debut.... don't know if I did it justice, and I am obviously pimping the hell out of it, but I feel it deserves the praise I am heaping upon it.... this is a stunner and (easily) leading the pack in tech metal of today (if you ask me)...  Smile

Agreed.  If you were to take a look at his myspace page, you would see the wide-ranging, diverse, and exceptional (even recommended!) influences he has.  They all make sense when you throw them in a blender and come out with Virus... one of my all-time favorite metal bands ever!  I think Carheart has the slight edge here over TBF though...

  maybe I am more diverse in my musical taste, but to me, I can't see how one could like VBE and NOT Virus?!!!!!  seems illogical in a way... they are so close on the crooked old family tree of experimental metal.

I actually like Virus more than VBE but they both rule. I just got a physical of VBE's Written in Waters which is cool.

I have the Candlelight reissue version of Written In Waters.  I love both VBE and Virus.... (as stated Wink )
I think more people need to investigate Fleurety (if they are fans of VBE and Virus).... severely under-rated band!
 
 
all of their stuff is worthwhile, if hard to find... but definitely worth it.  very good stuff!

Yes, I know no cookie monster growls, no blast beasts therefore not the kind of music qualifying for "prog" LOL
 
Maybe with this one I should have more success (it's sort of technical death I believe) :

Of course, any cultured person will notice the reference to Füssli's 'nightmare' in the cover artwork :
