I just discovered technical metal.....

[thedonutman]

I was browsing on this forum a while ago, and I kept coming across people refering to the band "Meshuggah"

So today, I decided to see what all the hype was about. and listened to New Millenium Cyanide Christ and a couple of other songs.


WHOA!!!!!!!!!


And I thought Metallica and Megadeth could riff.......


Thanks sevenstring.org!


Any other bands similar to Meshuggah that I should listen to?

Atheist

Watchtower

I'm not sure if these bands would qualify as technical metal but Textures and Caprofago both sound similar to Meshuggah, you might wanna check them both out.

Definatly find some Nevermore. Anything by them is awesome. For some sevenstring goodness check out the 'enemies of reality' album. Dream theater is also worth checking out if you havent heard any of their stuff. 'Scenes from a memory' is probably my favorit album ever.

And as DR said, Cynic. They are brilliant!
Bands like megadeth and metallica are just the surface of metal tho. (I love Megadeth btw!)

 

[Metal Ken]

Twisted INto Form is another badass band with members from Spiral Architect.
I also suggest checking out Arsis for badass riffage

Neurothing. A lesser known Meshuggah influenced band from Poland.

Twisted into form is also a badass album by forbidden which is worth checking out if you like metallica!

 

[drshock]

Cannibal Corpse's last two cd's are really technical.

 

[Metal Ken]

Twisted into form is also a badass album by forbidden which is worth checking out if you like bands that OWN metallica!

Hell yeah dude

 

[Seedawakener]

Nice edit. I TOTALLY agree. I just didnt want to be an asshole.

i'm thinkin technical metal is more of a rythmic type of metal like meshuggah, i dont think alot of the bands named really fall into that catagory
