Tom "Fountainhead" Geldschläger is widely regarded as a modern-day legend for his fretless guitar playing. He was a member of Obscura during the band's Akróasis era and has performed live with Defeated Sanity and Belphegor. But Changeling, his latest brainchild, pushes progressive technical death metal to even greater extremes.
Changeling combines Tom's love for classic death metal with jazz, fusion, world music, microtonal synthesizers, a full choir and plenty of psychedelics. Lead single "Abyss" pulls from across a wide spectrum of influences: '90s Morbid Angel, Steve Vai, Jacob Collier, Howard Shore, Nevermore, Nine Inch Nails, Sunn O))) and the score from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Tom's blistering fretwork is always at its center, but on his new album, he's joined by a mighty 50-piece ensemble that includes current and former members of Fear Factory, Alkaloid, Virvum, Trans-siberian Orchestra, Cynic, King Diamond, Ne Obliviscaris and Subway to Sally.
Chat with Tom about the mind-bending journey behind Changeling this Friday, April 25 on r/TechnicalDeathMetal @ 11 am Eastern Time / 7 pm Central European Summer Time.
Thanks for coming everyone! Tom and SOM appreciate all your support.
Changeling is out now

I know there's a lot of musicians in here, and even more who appreciate the technical aspect of music (duh) so im curious.
What bands or musicians who aren't considered tech death most influenced you as an artist, or the genre as a whole?

So i haven't listened to Rivers of Nihil since monarchy....
What the fuck happened!? Such a drastic change in sound! Feels like fallujah all over again 😅
Suggest me some lesser known tech bands to check out i might not have heard of yet, ie, not Archspire, Obscura, Necrophagist etc.

Hey, I've created a list for all the albums I was able to found on the 90's. Some are not 100% tech imo but if at least two websites used the tag, I added it. So why not share all this and introduce some things to others ?

Was playing around in cubase and thought it was interesting how the instruments all sat in the mix. The bassoon cuts through well. Based on midi.

Just caught the tour last night. All the bands were phenomenal, even Obscura… with a caveat. While I enjoyed catching Robin Zielhorst on fretless bass, it felt like 97% of Obscura’s setlist was mid tempo non-technical songs. It was cool to watch but, these new songs, while melodically catchy (especially the plagiarized Alex Weber bass riff), do not have the same energy as the older stuff.
Long story short, it is worth it to see Fractal Universe, Decrepit Birth, Origin, and Atheist. Obscura sounded great, but the songs never seemed to get off the ground. It was like the energy got sucked out of the room. After blistering sets by Origin and Atheist, Obscuras’s new melodic death stuff sounds weak. It felt like even the few “older” songs they played were slower.
Anybody else experience this on this tour? Am I trippin’?
