Technical death metal (sometimes called tech death) is a musical subgenre of death metal that focuses on complex rhythms, riffs and song structures. Technical experimentation in death metal began in the late '80s and early '90s by bands such as Death, Atheist and Cynic. In 1990, Nocturnus released her debut album, The Key, followed by; Sarcófago's third album, The Laws of Scourge, also their change her musical style; black/thrash metal to technical death metal, Atheist's second album, Unquestionable Presence, Pestilence's third album, Testimony of the Ancients, and Death released Human, all of these albums are released in the same year, 1991. This and later Death albums have proven influential on '90s technical death metal bands. In 1991, New York's grindcore-influenced Suffocation released the Effigy of the Forgotten debut album, which focused on speed and brutality with "sophisticated" sense of songwriting and subsequently became groundbreaking in the genre.

Phil Freeman, ex-editor of Metal Edge, has described the sub-genre of technical death metal as "the hidden side of its genre, having more in common with prog-rock and jazz fusion than with the mechanistic, Satan-obsessed grinding that's the music's dominant public image."

Get the MP3 version here: www.facebook.com Tabs can be found here: www.razbenari.com So apparently no one on YouTube has ever done this as far as I know, here's my attempt at mixing as many genres as possible into a coherent piece of music. =) Subscribe if you like what you hear! I'm into creative ideas! If you have an idea for a video and I like it, then I WILL do it and I WILL credit you! Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com UPDATE: Many people have asked this so to clear things up: This song is 100% original. However, people have noted out the following: - Melodeath part sounds like "Unholy Confessions" by Avenged Sevenfold - Death Metal part sounds like something by Testament - Folk metal part sounds like "Dialogue With The Stars" by In Flames So here's a few recommendations for you if you liked this one. Also, check out my other songs on my channel. Raz

Scott (me) playing "Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation" Check www.myspace.com/viraemiaaz for new songs It is a 10 string bass. I built it with a 34" scale and it is tuned in fourths from D (an octave below drop D on a normal bass) to B. If you have a problem with calling it a bass ( which is short for bass guitar) then call it what you would like, or consult the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (free at plato.stanford.edu ) on the problem of the many and or Sorites paradox. It is not a War guitar. And if you think that my music 'has no soul', it is not my fault, I am a ginger. Thank you for all the supportive and interesting comments.

This record brought technical death metal to a new step. Unfortunately, the great Lord Worm quitted Cryptopsy a year ago. We will miss you Lord Worm, as well as the old cryptopsy. Album: None So Vile (1996). Lyrics: Pardon, please, the narrow Confinement of your limbs; Unfortunately, it's necessary For your correction; Shriek to your heart's Content, if you wish; I promise you pain and Nightmares, in that sequence. Permit me to introduce you to "Tuesday"... I favor her, this pretty blade So tall and fine; Hatred and violence are not Our ways, but firm we are; Squirming is useless, so is this Colon, cry for me. Svelte is implement, Its gentle caress lets you Bleed; its subtle curvature Dancing, deeply slit your guts. www.darklyrics.com

0.57 min. | 3.99 user rating		 An epic story of how DragonForce is not a super epic technical band and are quite poor, to be honest. Heavily inspired by the "Slapknut vs. real metal" video BlackDahliaMurder24 made a while back. While pretty much ripping it off directly, it still gets my point across. :P Also, thank you Charlie for letting me use Wilson. He's such a fun character. :D Enjoy my greatly biased opinion! If you don't like it, don't watch the video. I couldn't give any less of a shit about your "OMG STFU DF IS EPIC GOOD FUCK U FATTY" or "GET A FUKIN LIEF NIGER" rants. I think I should have the right to voice my opinion on one of my most hated bands. Also, I did make a typo on the card before "THE END" so don't bitch about it.

Three wild horsemen: Three fearless in combat - Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe... The leading, foremost tyrant - The subsequent tormentor, and The past intimidator of Cythr ul Are impending. "Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda? Will there ever be a better icon than myself?" "In the yes of myself, I fervently speak." The trio goes out at dawn. Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants: Three of us versus three thousand: complete. "In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream!" "WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE STONE OF DESTINY." (Tara) "WE WILL REACH THE PERDITION OF IBID." (Cythr ul) INVINCIBLE: we are to their spears! INTREPIDLY: we occupy our posts! A FORECAST OF DESTINY! INVISIBLE: they are to their hands! INSOLENTLY: they amuse their own pride! INTERCHANGEABILITY: INNERCHANGEABILITY! "With the sway of myself, weather means disaster. I affirm each day for the men of the brave."
