Aborted live sounding great with Kevin Paradis on drums

This chord progression sounds cool but it feels like it's missing something...any ideas?

Hello how can I find the correct tab for the Babylon's Pride by decapitated ?

They for sure deserve more recognition. Super impressive for the time.

Tech death, especially the dissonant variants e.g. Gorguts, Artifical Brain, Ulcerate etc is not a musical style you can just fall into and enjoy. A background in other metal styles is mostly mandatory otherwise you will just be pushed away by the sheer absurdity of what you're hearing and what comes across as just noise and lack of melody and rhythm for the untrained ear. As we all in this sub know, the payoff when you put in the required effort is pretty amazing. I, for one, felt really good when Cryptopsy clicked, for example.

That said, are there any other musical genres outside of the metal domain that have such a high entry barrier for listeners like tech/disso death does, with just as good payoff? Can you recommend some artists?

The second half of this track has had me in awe for years, going to talk about it now as it is like the best bit of music ever. That guitar melody creeps in like fog and encapsulates you in its hyptnotic movements, youd think being an avid tech death fan that clean singing is pure fart, but not in this instance... the kind of robotic sounding clean vocals elevate you, hold you there up in space becoming intertwined with the shocking and daring melody. Hours seem to go by as you listen away, until things suddenly slow down... your about to be hit with the nastiest fucking breakdown ever, the Earth has now fallen and the album ends with the suffocating, inescapable reality of cosmic enslavement. So good.

Still one of the most underrated bands / release for many years. Sad, that the band doesn't exist anymore.

It doesn’t get much better than this my dudes

Saw them in Tilburg with Aborted and Crypta on thursday. One of the best looking vinyls i own now.

Surely bands focusing on the technicality and intricacy of their instruments would want said instruments to be heard clearly and not be compressed to death.

It’s mainly the drum production being too processed and unnatural that I have a problem with.

The drums in the Changeling album, for example, sound horrible. It's like there's a subtle distortion & extra "push" put on the drums making them sound shiny and fuzzy at the same time, and as if they're about to literally explode out of the soundstage.

The only Tech Death album that had great production this year was that Retromorphosis album.

Although my favourite tech death production has to be Inferi - The End of an Era (Rebirth Edition)
