that kinda doesn't sound right

marduk = 'technical black metal' lmao

Fleshmeadow brought me here. Not really into BM in general but heard their album recently and really dig it. Hadn't even heard of technical black metal before. Seems most of the bands here are considered other subgenres of black metal first and tech as somewhat of an afterthought, so I guess it's not much of a thing. Shame.

Black metal that's technical.........um......duh??

Recommend me some technical black metal bands!

DsO strike me as technical in the same way Gorguts are technical; while they seem to have chaos as a primary aim of their music, they also seem to be focused on creating that chaos through musical complexity. Compare both bands to something like, say, Portal, which is somewhat less technical musically but still equally chaotic. I neglected to mention Immortal in my previous shout, who are particularly technical on their early releases like Pure Holocaust and Battles on the North but have continued to perform fairly technical music at least through All Shall Fall. (Abbath's solo album continues the trend; just listen to those bass lines). Granted, a lot of modern BM bands have surpassed their technicality, but in comparison to any other second-wave band I can think of they stand out.

Although playing a DSO song is technically challenging relatively speaking, I I dont think its fair to describe them as technical, "chaotic" would be more fitting - as in they dont aim to be technical (like say The Dilinger Escape Plan or Nile do), the random bouts of technicality here and there are more just a byproduct than the focus of their songwriting.....Krallice I'll have to re-listen to and see if they're technical

"There is no such thing as technical back metal unfortunately." someone's clearly never heard Krallice or Mikko Aspa-era Deathspell Omega

There is no such thing as technical back metal unfortunately.

I think some people may be confusing some experimental or avant-garde with "technical"

Recommend me some technical black metal. :P

''black metal, that's technical'' lol best description

you gotta be slapping my ass right now, technical black metal??! [2]

I LOLed at the "slap my ass right now" comment.

modern-era Mayhem are about as complex as black metal gets and they themselves claim to still be very simple. It's just an illusion of good song writing and atypical riffing.

drottnar is the best of this

Abgott is fcking AMAZING!

Watain?

Fuck, I wish there was a technical black metal band. Srsly.

Also I like how BMTH is tagged as tech bm.

Bunch of butthurt kvlt faggots on this shoutbox.

you gotta be slapping my ass right now, technical black metal??!

Crazy shit :]

May be people mix the terms 'progressive' or 'avant-garde' and 'technical' up here. As I understand it, progressive BM is about long sophisticated compositions, avant-garde BM is original sounding, perhaps weird at first glimpse (and utterly untrve) and technical BM would be about raping your instrument in complicated rythms, just like in Death Metal. So far, I haven't listened to any BM band that could be classified as technical.

you guys should try Drottnar 'Welterwerk'.

Infernal War are considered technical?

@Sane-Asylum: Ever heard of Deathspell Omega, Infernal War or Unholy Matrimony?

@Sane-Asylum: Even less technical than Drone Metal? :O

Tech black metal? WTF? I mean, seriously.

fail# Black metal is the genre with less technical in all heavy metal

aka brutal black metal.

This is actually pretty cool. Mayhem's Grand Declaration Of War and Emperor's last two albums could be described as 'technical black metal'. But I guess they're more Progressive/avant-garde if anything.

wah wah wah all the trve kvlt black metal whiffs come out now *yawn*

Black metal is not supposed to be technical, but rather it must be climatic

hmm...

lol fail

useless without perfect production, which is not likely to happen with black metal,

wat marduk

What the fuck is this?

What the hell?

and what about trails of anguish or unquintessence?

:D
