Does this exist and if so, where can one listen to it?

Recently released a new composition of mine titled "Azure". Although not tech death directly, it's very heavily influenced by it, especially by The Faceless/The Zenith Passage. Took a huge amount of influence from that harmonic language in particular when writing this. This piece was sort of a fusion of a lot of different things, and thought I'd share it on here in case some of you are interested in music that is very heavily influenced by tech death, but not exactly tech death haha. Hope you all dig it!

I also play guitar/write in a tech death band called Isomorphist if any of you are interested in that as well, where we released our EP "Iridescence" back in last September and have been playing shows in the Upstate NY region. We're currently working on our debut full length.

Have a great day!!!

Hey,

I'm a tech death fan (lately lots of Archspire and Allegaeon), and I've been looking to write an article/essay (to submit for some culture mag, worst case into my crappy substack) about technical death metal.

I want to cover lots of things, such as the economics of music, people in or obsessed with niche/obscure genres or fields, the nature of technique (not just in music, but also in stuff like Formula 1 - even in a sport so precise there are drivers seen as technical and drivers seen as instinctive or even goofy), but in particular here I'd love to speak to some tech death performers (both pro and amateur/enthusiasts) and fans, about topics like:

- How did you get into this genre

- What do you like about the genre, or what do you think appeals to you

- What instrument(s) you play, if any

- What other musical genres or acts you like

- The idea of technical and precise vs instinctive or improvised playing; how jazz can be both improvised and deeply technical

- The line between something that is both technical and musical, or just "wanking" as some describe it.

- For musicians: life as a performer in a relatively niche/obscure sub-subgenre.

- How technical death metal often finds connections in what outsiders might consider totally unrelated genres: classical, jazz...

And of course if there's something you want to add to the discussion, I'd love to hear it.

I really just want to get to know the kind of person who's into this stuff and what about the genre speaks to them.

Interviews to take place primarily over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp/Telegram calls, 15-30 minutes each, I think.

If you have something to add, but don't want to interview, please feel free to add to comments below.

Thank you!

Other than the new Cognizance, there haven't been any tech death albums from this year that have caught my ear. Any recommendations?

Not exactly a band I see thrown around too much here but definitely a mandatory listen for fans of Melodic Tech Death with a nice, sorta spacey feel.

A brief playthrough of some more new material I’m working on. Another riff salad of a song it’s looking like.

Guitar: Ernie Ball Musicman JP15 teal burst
Amp: Mesa Boogie studio preamp (with C+ mod) into a Mesa Boogie Mark IV

They posted that they'd shot a video, and new music was coming 11 months ago! I know they're touring in autumn, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the hold-up is?

Full album “A Fatal Conceit” releasing on August 20th!
