Deserving special attention are [[Death (Musicband)|Death]], not only for inventing [[Death Metal]] as a whole, but for subsequently kickstarting both prog and tech with their 1991 album ''Human'', which stood head-and-shoulders above contemporaneous releases in terms of the proficiency and originality of its songcraft and production, with seriously insightful lyrics accompanying inventive chords through inspired and memorable songwriting. It and all subsequent Death albums are considered standard-setting classics, with ''Human''[[hottip:*:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zt8nF3b3-E&hd=1 Lack Of Comprehension] and ''Individual Thought Patterns''[[hottip:*:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ISAdamTJ4&hd=1 Trapped In A Corner] cleaving more closely to technical death metal and ''Symbolic''[[hottip:*:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wto1ySSFARE Crystal Mountain] and ''The Sound of Perseverance''[[hottip:*:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgx3sp_hTJw&hd=1 The Flesh And The Power It Holds] closer to progressive death metal to the contemporary ear.
 
Further bands that are generally classified as technical/progressive death metal (exact subgenre noted by their name) include:
Line 24:
* Behold ... The Arctopus
* Beneath the Massacre (tech)
* [[Between the Buried Andand Me]] (prog)
* Beyond Creation (prog and tech)
* Blotted Science (prog and tech)
Line 32:
* The Chasm (prog and tech)
* Cryptopsy, before they changed their style to [[Deathcore]]. (tech)
* [[Cynic (Music)|Cynic]] (prog, arguably tech)
* Decapitated (tech)
* Deeds Of Flesh, at least their recent work. (tech)
Line 42:
* The Faceless (tech)
* Fleshgod Apocalypse (tech; mixed with [[Symphonic Metal]])
* [[Gojira (Musicband)|Gojira]] (tech, occasional elements of prog) (also [[Groove Metal]])
* Gorguts (prog and tech)
* [[Meshuggah]] (tech, also prog on ''I'' and ''Catch 33''; [[Your Mileage May Vary]] as to whether they truly count as part of the subgenre)
Line 77:
* [[The Power of Rock]] - Extreme; both prog and tech are essentially concerted attempts to produce [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucd0GDDtRio weapons-grade] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_3jJG_oGSs face-melting] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk6Q4FpW-sY awesomeness].
** [[Incendiary Exponent]] - Some of the more mind-bending mucisianship in prog/tech death (''see Necrophagist, immediately above'') could probably only be made appreciably cooler by being performed while wreathed in flame. [[Power Glows|And glowing]].
* [[Trope Maker]] and [[Ur Example]] - [[Death (Musicband)|Death]], latest common ancestor of all modern [[Death Metal]], arguably began life as an extremely technical offshoot of [[Thrash Metal]] and continued to progify as the genre matured.
* [[Uncommon Time]] - ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FN53FLWBGQ&hd=1 Fuck yes].''
* [[Up to Eleven]] - Ubiquitous; in fact, pushing the envelope at all levels of musicality is virtually axiomatic of both prog and tech death.
