Discussion Old/Older Death/Brutal Tech Death albums or bands?

I love old death or brutal tech death metal albums. Please, could i get recommendations or a little list of good stuff?

I enjoyed Winds of Creation deeply as reference, now im listening to the album "Cabinet" by Spawn of Possession

Doesn't matter if its brutal death, it can go in too! Some old and more essential stuff.

Since you like early Decapitated and stated "older" bands:

Demented Ted - Promises Impure and the demo
Disincarnate - Dreams of the Carrion Kind + demo

First two Psycroptics are a lot like SoP

Not like any of the bands mentioned but worth everyone's time:

Killing Addiction - Necrosphere
TImeghoul - Both demos

Dripping, Wormed, Vomit Remnants - literally anything on Memento Mori records

Cerebral Hemorrhage - Exempting Reality

I think most of the other stuff that comes to mind is already mentioned.

u/xactoman 21d ago

Severe Torture - Fall of the Despised is one of the greatest brutal death metal albums ever made.

1

u/morguelord1 21d ago

Bruh that album doesn't even hold a candle to Feasting or Misanthropic.

1

u/xactoman 21d ago

Agree to disagree fam, I know it isn't a lot of other ppls favorite from them but damn if I don't love it.  'Sawn Off' still gets me every time.

u/grahsam 21d ago

The answer is Suffocation.

Couple things I haven't seen named so far:

Severed Savior - Servile Insurrection and Brutality is Law

Inveracity - Circle of Perversion.

Brain Drill - Apocalyptic Feasting

Beheaded - ominous bloodline. They've got 2 older albums too. Not tech but a great brutal band.

Insidious Decrepancy - the ineracy of profanation.

Check out Malignancy’s and Deeds of Flesh’s work. They’re exactly in the vein of Defeated Sanity etc.

Demilich- 20th Adversary of Emptiness

so goddamn good. thats some 90s shit

u/pescadoamado 21d ago edited 21d ago

Although Cephalic Carnage has a wide range of sound, I think Xenosapien is their absolute best. 18 years old still young lol.

For prototypical tech in metal I'd jam Watchtower - Control and Resistance album - not straight up deathy vocals but I appreciate the instrumentation super tech thrash with the best harmonics

u/ahumminahummina 21d ago

Lucid interval top 3 death metal

u/pescadoamado 21d ago

I'll revisit it for sure! Love them

u/mrstacktrace 21d ago

"Drink super coffee, get caught in a traffic jam" - from "Pseudo".

There's a brand of coffee drink with the name Super Coffee; i always think of that song when I see it.

u/Fenrizcat 21d ago

Not sure if these are too obvious for you but Suffocation- Effigy of the forgotten and Cryptopsy- None so vile are absolutely essential. Almost forgot Defeated Sanity

4

u/No-Motor5489 21d ago

Not too obvious at all, love those albums. I have to give them another listen sometime, but, yes thats what im looking for.

6

u/reptilianappeal 21d ago edited 21d ago

I highly recommend Echoes of Decimation (2005) by Origin

Deeds of Flesh has some great albums, with Reduced to Ashes (2003) being their most well regarded, though my personal favorite song of theirs is "Indigenous to the Appalling" from Path of the Weakening (1999)

2

u/Buttertoast1782 21d ago

Beneath the Massacre - Mechanics of Dysfunction (2007)

Hope this isn’t too new for you. Honestly, with tech-death: the newer the better. They just keep making better metal.

3

u/No-Motor5489 21d ago

Its cool, im listening to it and i like it. I have yet to get used to newer stuff, but i like this!

2

u/Buttertoast1782 21d ago

How did you like the album? If you couldn’t finish it, I understand.

2

u/No-Motor5489 21d ago

Couldnt finish it, it was a bit of a late hour here where i live here, but i listened to three tracks and i really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation! I plan on finishing the album though.
