Techno Death & Progressive Death bands

Vale Of Pnath is a good band!
Did anyone listen to "Spiritual Migration", last Persefone album? If not, you should... :D

Ever listened to Sadist from Italy? Just checking if they're known abroad... :D
First albums are masterpieces, but nowadays they're still pretty good.

Recently I've discovered Trauma from Poland... and now I'm in love with them! :D Very classic but modern at the same time, generally excellent mixing/recording, straight to the aim.

Some cult name from the deepest European underground today... Kalisia from France, who released an astonishing EP "Skies" in 1995, then they've come back much years after with the full length "Cybion" (2009), obviously different from the EP but good. No news at all today.

What about new Gorguts album? If you didn't listen to it yet, you should! 12 years of silence... but they couldn't write something less than a masterpiece!
It's available on Spotify too.
 


Nocturnus fans should like this record... released in 2002 by a totally unknown Portuguese label (Heretic Sound, they released also an anthology by thrashers Silenxce).

it's okay. it sometimes to overindulgent for me. haha. I am hoping it grows on me over time. I enjoyed the new Pestilence much more.
 


Dutch Death Metal, only two albums. This one is more complex than the debut. :)

Iniquity from Denmark, Technical Death Metal in the most classic vein you could imagine it. Their masterpiece is the debut "Serenadium", but all their discography is worth to be listened to.
They did a little reunion in 2013 with some shows, but they don't look interested in recording new or old songs, as their Facebook profile says.

Iniquity - Retorn

Iniquity - Sidereal Seas
 
Apparently the Russian label Magik Art Entertainment was trying to track the band members to reissue their discography, still no news about it.
Got this on tape, the albums are very hard to find (and expensive).

Question time: sometimes I wonder what the US scene is like about people attending gigs.

Let's take a band like Abysmal Dawn: more or less they sound plain to me, technically prepared and with an big label behind them, but maybe nothing more.
How many people could there be for a headliner show in a big city?

Not a bad style, maybe I just have to listen to them again, but it's one among thousands at the moment.

They don't headline as far as I know. The US is weird, honestly. I saw Abysmal Dawn open for Origin here in Greensboro and maybe 40 people attended. Greensboro is not known to be a metal market, but Raleigh is. Bigger shows out there can pull 100-200 people for these types of artists. More national acts can pack out bigger places at 600 people.

But the US is quite varied since it's such a vaste space to cover for bands. Some markets are much better than others for heavy music as has been my experience touring here for a few years. For instance we are from North Carolina, but when we got to California (2000 miles away) we were playing some of the biggest shows of our short existence. So there are a bunch of factors at play.

Weird. I thought they were famous enough to do little headliner tours at least.

By what you say, the difference with Italy main cities (very few) is not much: little known bands can bring 100-150 people at their best, medium bands 100-250 and main bands up to 400 people.
Sadly, it also happens to see something like 40-60 people at gigs that would deserve much more.

This talking about the same venue I usually attend gigs, medium capacity (you couldn't bring Slayer or Motorhead there, to make it clear, we have stadiums or open areas for them).

By the way, here's one of the most awaited records for me:

Again, another band I'm waiting for. Sounds like they're switching their style to more complex tracks, while on previous albums they had very short and "in your face" songs. In fact there will be only six songs on this record.

Poland is a risky country for extreme bands, sometimes you just can't avoid comparing everybody to Behemoth, but I'm very curious for this new release.

Speaking of awesome Polish death metal, does anyone know what's happened to Lost Soul's Atlantis? All throughout 2014 there were updates about the album's progress, straight through to an announcement of its completion, images of the back cover art, news of a possible label deal -- then nothing. Immerse in Infinity is one of the greatest dm albums of the post-2000 era and to say that I'm eagerly anticipating Atlantis is a hilarious understatement.

As long as I'm here and blathering about tech death bands with constipated release schedules, I only recently got around to checking out Greece's Sickening Horror, totally fell in love with their weird blend of Demilich/Morbid Angel/Mithras death metal spaciness, then promptly learned that they too have had an album completed since 2014 but haven't been able to put it out yet. Grr.

This is their previous one:
