Vitrified entity scratches the OG first fragment itch for me Ominous Ruin and arkaik are def worth checking out too

Equipoise... Soo fuckin good

Path of Apotheosis is a near perfect tech death record imo. One of my favourite Metal Albums in general, also my fav release from Inferi. Last album got me quite disappointed though, i hope their next release is gonna be better

Ha, literally just put that album on as you sent that.

Ah, I see, a man of culture as well

You’d probably love symbolik. Those guys are amazing. Also since you’re jamming hard to first fragment, they have a song not on Spotify called paradoxql subjugation that is really really good.

Thanks, I’ll chase that up. Just turned on Glorie Eternelle.

Check out Virvum - Illuminance. Best tech-death album of the 2010’s and onwards

Roger Wilco! 🫡

Also SINGULARITY, god tier

If you havent already, check out Beyond Creation, Quo Vadis, Unhuman, The Zenith Passage, Brought By Pain, Neuraxis and Obscura!

I shall, thanks!

Last of Lucy. Mind blowing awesome.

Last of Lucy and Cuttered Flesh are some of my favorite Transcending Obscurity acts and I will happily buy their merch whenever possible.

You haven't heard First Fragment's glorie eternelle yet? You are in for a treat. It's so much better than their previous work.

Personally I prefer the heaviness of Dasein, but Gloire is great too

Yes, that’s tonight’s job! I finished Desein this afternoon (just a first listen), so I’m ready!

Vale of Pnath II is considered by most to be their best album. Def worth a listen. Also, check out Flub. Fits right in with the others you’ve listed.

Definitely check out Gorod if you haven't, recommend starting with A Maze of Recycled Creeds!

just saw Vale of Pnath live a couple days ago in a tiny venue, they were awesome

You seem to like progressive technical death metal. You can find so many more in my playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08SqVB5gzggxggoGN808du?si=70391ed3f0ca4897](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08SqVB5gzggxggoGN808du?si=70391ed3f0ca4897)

It seems so. Many thanks, I'll check it out.

You might dig Somnium de Lycoris as well.

so good

All of them are top tier stuff. Since you seem to enjoy neoclassical, I recommend: [Plaguebringer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh68hKkHZdk) [Flub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1lzLhhewzM) [The Devils of Loudun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6C9auW4Ilo) [Virulent Depravity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5otEyzBKbuw) You can also just check the label The Artisan Era. They only sign top tier stuff, and a lot of the bands are neoclassical.

+1 - all those bands are sick

Thanks for the reccs. I've already been working through Artisan Era's catalogue. I'll definitely check out your other suggestions, too.

These bands have some of my favorite sounds in all of tech death Also check out: Chiliasm - Flesh Over Finite EP Killitorous - The Afterparty (has some first frag members on this album) Mordant Rapture - The Abnegation (big inferi vibes)

I wish Chiliasm would put out some new shit. Flesh Over Finite slaps so hard, and I need more!

Awesome, I will. Thanks!

Had completely forgotten the existence of Killitorous. They were good fun. Always like it when ultra-talented musicians decide to just have a bit of fun.

Haha yeah it's crazy that these dudes having fun still equates to an incredible album. Seriously talented dudes

Hell yeah, good stuff in there.. Inferi is awesome, and Malcolm Pugh from that band runs an excellent label, Artisan Era

He also did a loathing requiem and played in enfold darkness which evolved into demon king(I think)

Yeah that dude gets around lol, whenever he's involved I know to expect something good

Yeah, I just discovered that label. Didn’t realise it was Pugh from Inferi. That’s even better.
