I’ve just started streaming on Twitch.tv - I’d love some feedback on my tunes!

Hey guys, apologies if this kind of thing isn’t allowed, I’m a multi instrumentalist based in Australia and I’ve just started streaming from my home studio during the process of writing, recording and producing a new album. I’d love if anyone could come check it out, say hi, give some feedback and if you dig it, maybe even follow or support! I stream every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at least, and sometimes randomly in between.

Relentless Mutation — limited tapes!

Relentless Mutation bulldozed through tech-death AOTY contenders in 2017, with Archspire obliterating speed barriers while maintaining a serpentine fluidity. Precision-driven yet never sacrificing memorability, their third full-length stands as a display of inhuman musicianship.

Similar to The Lucid Collective, this juggernaut demanded an exclusive tape treatment. Huge thanks to Season Of Mist for entrusting us with another essential title from their catalog, with more to follow later this year.

Pressed in 2023, but somehow not sold out... yet. This is the final first-press cassette available in our US Webstore. The UK copies? Long gone.

Tap link below to claim it before it disappears. Act fast... fast around 300BPM.

PANACEA

Dropping this here for everyone to check out as it's quickly become one of my favorite releases of 2024 and new favorite bands. Found them while watching playthrough videos on Alex Rudinger's youtube channel. Only around for a few years and already a top contender for bands to keep an eye out for in the future. All the elements are there. It's tech, its heavy as fuck. There's oldshool melodeath influences in the riffing along with well thought out death metal riffs, vocals are straightforward but exactly what you wanna hear in tech death, drumming is precise and mixed wonderfully (as one would come to expect when Alex Rudinger is involved). The production is extremely crisp and modern but doesn't lose its quality to overproduction. Overall an insane up and coming band that could do big things. FFO The Faceless, Necrophagist, Illucinus, Wounds, Decrepit Birth, Diskreet

Hymn of Sanity - The Faceless (Vocal Cover)

Very underrated short song off of an incredible album. Did a little more than Geoff did on the record, and went like Travis Ryan grind at the end.

How'd you get into TDM? Did it become your "main" genre after exposure?

I was technically (heh) first introduced back in sophomore year of high school around 2011. Had been listening to BOO, Cephalic Carnage, Red Chord, Rings of Saturn, and Veil of Maya as far as "whoa dude" tecchy stuff went, and my friend hit me with one of those, "if you think that's technical, check out THIS", and it was a playlist with Necrophagist, Death, Brain Drill, Origin, and Fleshgod Apocalypse. Enjoyed it but didn't really pursue the genre since I was just listening to whatever within (insert -core)genres at the time

Now, I'm almost always blasting Cytotoxin, Aborted, Archspire, Wormhole, and Ritual Aura - when it comes to Metal, at least; along with "Black Dahlia-like" bands like Summoning the Lich

Need your help to discover more bands!

Good evening! Having gone through many stages of the music I enjoy listening to, at 47 years old, for the last 2 years, I’ve entered the world of technical death metal. The first album I listened to that shocked me was Planetary Duality by The Faceless, and I like all of their albums. While searching, I discovered that I also really like Zenith Passage, who share some common roots with The Faceless. I’m trying to find a third band that matches the style, technique, and songwriting of the ones I mentioned, but I haven’t been successful. Could you please recommend some bands and albums? So far, suggestions from AI and Spotify haven’t worked..

Cangaço - Abreu e Lima

Their sound is heavily influenced by northeastern Brazilian music, and, as the band's title suggests, they tell stories of the northeastern cangaço (a time when the cangaço was a controversial criminal group, considered heroes by the poor population of the time). You could say they were the Robin Hood of Brazil, despite the many controversies involved. Their music is interesting and technical, rich in stories.

Meaning of cangaço*: Cangaço was a banditry movement that occurred in the Northeast of Brazil between the 19th and 20th centuries. The cangaceiros were groups of armed men who carried out robberies, kidnappings and homicides. Cangaço was a form of protest against social injustice and the ineffectiveness of the State in the region. Poverty, inequality, lack of state assistance and violence were factors that contributed to the emergence of cangaço.*

Akrasia ad Imperium by Primordial Throne (2020)

I really like the heavy ambiences that created from the guitar angular. But not only that, the symphonies add lot of things there, and it's also great. Overall it's all chaos, fast, fury, and just heavy. Hmm… Technical Symphonic Death Metal? yea it's solid. Well if you guys have more bands like this, tell me 😁
