Recommend: Technical/Progressive Instrumental Metal

[Arterial]

Obscura's new album will be 7 string, and very progressive, as usual. That's all I can think of

but will it be instrumental?
who reads the OP these days anyway ..

Why not go back to the roots of the technical music you crave? Set the Wayback Machine for 1981....

I'm sorry that it's not purely instrumental, but the playing is excellent. This is the high bar which ensures that just a few polyrhythms in one's music doesn't manage to be called "technical" in my definition. The next two King Crimson albums continue in the same vein, although Fripp's ideas tend to diffuse the focus found on Discipline.

I also recommend the first two albums from the League of Crafty Guitarists, both their Live album and "Show of Hands." I saw them live early on a few times, before the League really became a scary cult in my eyes, and they were amazing. 27 guitarists all playing their parts in perfect timing with each other is a hard act to follow; a lot of bands can't manage it with 4 musicians. *laugh*

And now, we return you to the rehash of the last 10 years....

Hi guys,

there's some cool stuff here:
YouTube - Ishimira1's Channel - His artwork and vids are pretty darn cool also!

I'd also seriously recommend this guys album, his name is Piotrek Gruszka, the album "cosmogenesis" is seriously amazing - think AAL mixed with some late Greg Howe, pretty serious music!

Pretty much anything you find on www.got-djent is a really good starting point for news on new releases.

And i'm afraid i have to link this one also! Shameless, i know:

Happy rocking dude \m/

EDIT: Has anyone mentioned Tre Watson's stuff? "Lexicon of the Human Subconscious" is a pretty cool tech album..once again, at got-djent \m/
