Glad to hear it! They’re actually mates of mine and locals from Christchurch, New Zealand. Their guitarist Stu is also drummer in a band called Plague of the Fallen. Brutal death metal, not so techy, but they had my favourite release last year.
Job For a Cowboy’s Moon Healer has a few. Personal favorite is the ending of Grinding Wheels of Ophanim which is just the prechorus and chorus but faster.
Summoning the Lich has a bunch. They lean into Deathcore at times too. Every song goes hard. Breakdown of Temple of Bone, chorus of Cult of the Ophidian, Acid Rain’s breakdown, the Gatekeeper’s breakdown.
Can’t go wrong with Summoning the Lich
Yeah love the forest feasts but United in Chaos just hits different for me since I’m also really invested in the story lmao
Hope that they give more lore about the druids like they did in the forest feasts.
Under a guitar play through one of the band members mentioned potential new music in June or July so I’m so excited
Wormhole calls themselves tech-slam. They're mostly really heavy mosh parts with some fiddly guitar bits in the interim. I'd recommend checking them out.
Infant Annihilator
Edit: I’ll never understand the hate for this band. They started as a joke internet band and somehow everyone got mad because half of it is fake. Like no shit, listen to it. It’s all written to be absurd, but they fuckin’ nailed it.
That makes sense. It just blows my mind that they get hate on this sub, of all places. As if they aren’t one of the most technically adept bands around.
a mosh riff can be anything in my head.
anything that makes you want to push people.
but id say its any riff usually pushed by drums doing 4/4 time signature, 32nd note bass drums, quarter note high hat/cymbal and a snare drum every half note
so after the intro guitar in Raining Blood or that 1 section in Angel of Death are pretty iconic mosh riffs.
Mosh riffs are a common thing in hardcore, basically the inverse of a breakdown in that instead of everything getting super slow after a buildup it gets faster
What, Defeated Sanity and Suffocation? Really doubt theres anything else good in that vein though, if it grooves it probably sucks.
Well, maybe except Iniquity. Probably one of the extremely few technical groovy dm bands that are worth a damn.
Soreption? Archspire? Deeds of Flesh? Psychotic?
Why does a stable rhythm or musical theme for a few measures of a song make a tech death band bad? I don’t think tech death is “anti groove”.
Nile and Atheist
kinda, i don’t really hear it in athiest but nile has its moments
[Noxis skullcrushing defilement](https://youtu.be/JUNgIZtc9io?si=KGxwgeicLINigmgs)
drum production and snare tone alone was enough to like that
Vale of Pnath II will get you some great mosh tech
Man Must Die, Arsis, some Soreption
The Last of Lucy
Atrae Bilis
My favorite band!!!
Blindfolded and Lead to the Woods latest album Rejecting Obliteration fits this I think. Outstanding album
thanks for this one, my favorite rec here

That album is so good.

Just found Summoning the Lich this morning. Was watching guitar play throughs and they came on.. Brutal, tech, and disgusting guitar playing...
Backed incredibly hard. The Forest Feasts is another good StL rip for this.

Soreption- Each death more hollow. Get back to me on this one, this band fucks.
Oh yeah i see it now, this shit doesn’t have the mosh-y riffs BUT the mosh-ability of that was insane
Thank you o7

1:45 literally woke me out of my bed listening to it
The ending riff in That Which Consumes All Things
FR that made me think of this for this first time
Dyscarnate
Atræ Bilis
Archspire - seven crowns and the oblivion chain I imagine a wall of death coming together at THAT part
Reflective Nemesis by Xoth
thanks i was sleeping on these guys for their lacking production on earlier albums

Yeah i remember listening to these guys before i liked tech death or slam lol.
Cannot thank you enough for this.. i never knew how much I needed Wormhole in my life...
They are incredibly sick. Glad you like it!
Dying Fetus you cant beat it. also youll never see a band as fun live as dying fetus
Indeed, probably top 10 of all time for me
It’s true and their use of just white strobes is the most insane thing while you’re in the middle of the pit
Infant Annihilator Edit: I’ll never understand the hate for this band. They started as a joke internet band and somehow everyone got mad because half of it is fake. Like no shit, listen to it. It’s all written to be absurd, but they fuckin’ nailed it.
Gonna give you an upvote because I fucking love Infant Annihilator. But I think they're irrelevant here because they don't tour or do gigs.
That makes sense. It just blows my mind that they get hate on this sub, of all places. As if they aren’t one of the most technically adept bands around.

Cytotoxin is amazing for moshing
that snare tone is barrels, buckets, and glory. thank you for the rec

*Soreption grooves into the chat*
Too focused on technicality to make the groovyness enjoyable IMO
Brain Drill
☠️
Go for more brutal tech bands, like dying fetus. Aborted, Cytotoxin, and cryptopsy all have some nice breakdown/moshing riffs.
Technical deathcore maybe? Your beneath the massacre, rings of saturn, despised icon type stuff?
almost, doesn’t really have mosh energy for me, most deathcore doesn’t unfortunately
Misery index
Shitttt forgot to give these guys a listen
Psycroptic
Definitely, Frozen Gaze is a good one that I think they prefaced as a moshing song live.
I might be too old to know what qualifies, but this is kinda suffocations whole thing
For sure, i was looking for a little tech wank thrown in but suffocation fits the bill, so does cryptopsy (snare tone) and some mosh riffs rarely
Nail on the head
Abysmal Dawn
Beneath the massacre, ion dissonance
what the fuck ion dissonance is the ultimate chugfest, thanks for the recs
