same bro, it's just so mesmerizing

missed opportunity to say "some deathcore hybrid tech death bands are Abiotic and Xenobiotic"

I think the difference between Prog death and tech death is that prog blends classic progressive rock and death metal with more light and shade. Tech death is more like regular death metal taken to the extreme.

I prefer the term sci-fi cosmic alien metal thank you very much

babe wake up new Occulturation

Stabwound is the perfect song to explain tech death to someone. If anything else played I woulda been upset lol

I think a good way to distinguish between prog and tech for anything is to differentiate complexity in songwriting/song structure vs complexity in riffs respectively. Overly simplified, prog is the brains while tech is the hands.

It's always a good day when Occlunternation uploads!

For a band that's a bit more, optimistic so to speak, as well as having some really tasty composition, check out First Fragment.

Fathom infinite depths is a song everyone should listen too.

Glad that Lucid Collective is being shown the love it deserves. One of my favorite tech death records.

Wormed doesn’t use inhales. You’re thinking of pig squeels, which are generally not inhaled. The only band I think uses inhales succesfully is Archspire

Guess I should've said inhales/pig squeals. My mistake.

I am surprised to see that Deeds of Flesh is not on the video as they do pertain into the cosmic horrors somewhat as a subject in their later albums like the Nucleus album and Portals to Canaan. That would be a wonderful addition to the video itself. I feel like that Deeds of Flesh, Decrepit Birth, and other similar bands helped bring Tech Death into the very same light and mixing some of those classic examples of NY Brutal Death Metal (Suffocation) and Floridian Death Metal (Death, Obituary).

Origin should definitely been mentioned as the other kings right beside Necrophagist.

Now I can't unhear the meowing bass.

The Faceless’s Autotheism album is the biggest fedora tip in music form…

Highly accurate video, I like the nuanced distinction between prog death and tech death

Yayyy i was so excited to see this upload. Any of yall who havent heard of the band 'Inferi' should check them out, particularly "The Path of Apotheosis" their lyrics are less cringe science and more violent cosmos

fantastic video, subbed!

Bro I just found your channel. Love the absolutely WIDE range of topics you cover lmao, keep it up!

I think that the main difference between techdeath and progdeath is that techdeath can be convenctional in its presentation and more predictable sounding, if it has only harsh vocals, sci-fi transhumanism or alien album covers, complex and fast guitar parts with weird scales or neoclassical passages, relentless drumming and some deathcoreish touches is techdeath. Progdeath on the other side is much more varied and different, with a lot of clean vocal presence, stronger keyboards and external influence, things that you don't see in techdeath unless is proggy.

It makes sense that Cynic and death fall under the prog death umbrella, but its weird that i enjoy both them AND necrophagist, but i fall asleep (literally, its not a joke) on any other tech death band

I personally like the older stuff better because alot of the new techdeath feels kinda overproduced and sterile

Personally I'm not the biggest tech death fan but I absolutely adore Cryptopsy and Nile.

i love these videos

As soon as I see an new Occulturation video, I play it No exceptions

Brutal Death Metal, Slam or Caveman Death Metal next pleeeeaaase :)

Some of the only tech death I’ve been able to actually get into is gojira’s tech death stuff, for some reason it’s just stuck with me more. They feel technical, but like, in a different way that I just prefer more then normal tech death

when I think of tech death I think of stuff like Demilich, Monstrosity, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Immolation or Deicide's Legion, latest releases of Defeated Sanity and Anal Stabwound are also great but more on the brutal side, I guess I'm not a fan of the neoclassical, cosmic-sounding, Necrophagist inspired bands, like, they are metal, and technical but the music doesn't really feel "death" like older bands and some new bands

I always lean more towards the cosmic horror spectrum myself

Do deathgrind next.

OooOoh. My favourite genre...

There were plenty of other tech death bands before necrophagist right? Even if you don't want to count Death or Atheist there still are Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Suffocation, Demilich and countless other more obscure bands

First video were i heard of all the songs

I prefer to call the fretless bass sound "farty bass".

Yesssss bois

necrophagist imo is not first tech death but the most inspired by other band.

Please Stoner Rock and Grindcore

Ouchie wouchie no reference to Origin?

My fave genre! Only bad thing is that it ruins slower metal for me like some deathcore and doom

finally somebody knows what he is talking abt

Tech death is cool and all, but I think I prefer a tech deck

@@whatsinameme5258as someone who listens to a lot of Brutal Death Metal, I definitely don’t think it’s a hybrid of any sorts. Brutal Death is kind of predecessor to Tech Death, focusing on more experimental abrasive vocal styles and complex rhythms, but what separates Brutal from Tech is that Brutal Death focuses on abrasive production techniques resulting in a lack of timbre(basically meaning the entire band is playing a percussive role). The entire band adds to the “heaviness” of the track, all playing together to create a wall of textured noise that is unrelenting and uncompromising. I know that it technically isn’t that, but it’s the only way I can describe it. Brutal Death Metal is more underground, and typically adopts the rebellious, unappealing elements in their lyrical themes, titles, album art, etc. Some examples of more underground Brutal Death are bands like Disgorge(California), Condemned, Despondency and Stabbing. Other bands that are of note are Defeated Sanity(who are a mix of Brutal, Tech, and Prog), Italy’s Putridity(my personal favourite, an underrated band that takes every element of Brutal Death to its logical conclusion, some could argue being tech death too) and Anal Stabwound(a one-man project by Nikhil T., and started off as a more traditional Brutal band, before taking the Defeated Sanity route). Disentomb is another band I really like, mixing Brutal Death, Tech Death, and Deathcore, at least with their album Misery. If you want more examples, I recommend checking out the record labels Permeated Records and New Standard Elite.

So you talk about Tech Death and forgetvto mention the other half of the coin that features Necrophagist on the one side? Where is the almighty Origin?! You pretty much have all Origin album covers as the background (the nebula)
