I just can't stop listening to Summoning the Lich

u/woodsmanboob 1d ago

Just checked out. 4 songs in on their first - this does scratch an itch. Thanks for the share.

u/IWASRUNNING91 18h ago

Glad you're enjoying it!

3

u/xDivineMatrix 3d ago

Agreed so damn good

u/IWASRUNNING91 2d ago

Normally I'll get into phases of favorite bands, but lately it's just which song I'm going to start with across the 2 albums lol

When I first found them I listened to United in Chaos and I loved it so much I got worried about listening to Under the Rivaled Throne as sometimes bands change for the worst by the 2nd album, but UtRT is literally perfect for me. It's almost becoming my Favorite dm album period.

u/Ferrindel Cryptopsy 4d ago

And why would you?🍸

2

u/KoalaGorp 4d ago

Gotta be dying fetus. Start with reign supreme.

3

u/SnooLemons5748 4d ago

Just to throw in a name I haven’t seen in here yet

Artificial Brain

They scratch an itch no other band does for me. Also theyre active again, recent single

3

u/Conscious_Badger_510 4d ago

Best band, they have such a unique riffing style, incredibly excited for the new album

Another band worth mentioning along the lines of Artificial Brain is definitely Ulcerate
super interesting uses of very complex chords in both bands music, super dense and always has a lot of layers to decipher in the music over multiple listens

3

u/rootednode 4d ago

I would make sure to listen to the complete planetary duality album by The Faceless.

4

u/skeetskeety 4d ago

Dying fetus
Cryptopsy
Revocation
Job for a Cowboy
Defeated Sanity
Ulcerate

Some of these might not be tech death proper but I love tech death and these are some of my favourite. I’m not a big fan of the ‘millions of arpeggios’ tech death bands…

3

u/BraDaDiah91 4d ago

Soreption - Jord is a good place to start for groovy heavy tech death

2

u/theoriginalkep 4d ago

Listen to Soreption but start with Deterioration of Minds since Jord is easily their weakest album

3

u/PrismaticSolid411 4d ago

They don't have a weak album in my opinion.

2

u/theoriginalkep 4d ago

Agreed, but Jord is the least strong imo

2

u/SnooSketches4624 4d ago

fullujah, cytotoxin, alterbeast

5

u/Sorak3 4d ago

Essentials for me:

The Faceless

But there are a lot more!

u/Adam_Absence 4d ago

Obscura, Spawn of Possession, Gorod, Psycroptic, Revocation, Anata, Quo Vadis

I’ll check them out, thanks!

2

u/gandalf_lundgren36 4d ago

I’d start with their second album Leading Vision

State of Secret is a banger

8

u/DeathRattl 4d ago

Virvum has one album, and its a masterpiece front to back.

2

u/woodsmanboob 7h ago

Thanks for dropping this. Slipped under my radar and from first listen-through although not finished I tend to agree it's a top-tier

3

u/boiyoudum 4d ago

Bet, I’ll add it to queue

5

u/Noetic_Hat_Trick 4d ago

Archspire!

2

u/boiyoudum 4d ago

Dude, these guys are the peak of speed. 🔥🔥

1

u/Noetic_Hat_Trick 4d ago

Right? It’s nuts. They’re great, and they seem like cool guys. So many of these tech DM players are just nerds. I love it.

Also, be sure to check out Coroner for some epic Tech Thrash. They’re brilliant.

6

u/TheAngryCheeto 4d ago

Psycroptic, the faceless, fallujah, the zenith passage, cognizance, soreption, ophidian I

3

u/boiyoudum 4d ago

Spawn of Posession- Cabinet
Cryptopsy- None So Vile

Two of the best the genre has to offer

2

u/Noetic_Hat_Trick 4d ago

I just listened to An Insatiable Violence (2025, Cryptopsy) twice. So good. They really are goated.

3

u/invertedidol 4d ago

The last two albums really surprised me!

But the first few are insane.

3

u/Noetic_Hat_Trick 4d ago

I’m going to give Spawn a listen. Thanks for mentioning. 🙏

u/boiyoudum 4d ago

Hell yeah, I’ll check them out
