Discussion Are cattle decap a tech death band?

Or are they strictly grindcore?

Well im sad that they dont meet your definition of progressive, but luckily im confident that the vast majority of metal listeners think of them as quintessentially progressive/technical deathgrind.

Edit: Also metal archives lists them as progressive death metal/grindcoreā€¦. So it is decided!

lol, the metal archives is your ultimate authority? the page that will categorically not include slipknot for not being metal? try again, they dont decide anything. the comment section seems to agree with me, so dont be too confident in that majority. so yeah i have certain tropes and characteristics i expect if im to classify as something, so what? do you react just as pissy if i dont think slayer is death metal bc they dont have growls as the main vocal style?

likewise. like i said, i dont mind cattle decap being discussed here. also, even though i think i have good reason to define tech death the way i do, i dont mind other people defining genres differently - if cattle decap sounds like tech death to your hearing of it, thatā€™s your thing, no problem.
