'''Technical death metal''' and '''progressive death metal''' are subgenres of [[Death Metal]] that infuse the (in)famous [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|assaulting musical brutality]] of the genre with the technicality and elaborate musical structures of [[Progressive Metal]]. The songs tend to be very complex, and often include influences from other genres, such as jazz or classical music; the result is a highly cerebral musical style that rewards close and repeated listening, without surrendering the unrelenting musical aggression [[Death Metal]] is known for.

Deserving special attention are [[Death (band)|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''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zt8nF3b3-E&hd=1 Lack Of Comprehension]</ref> and ''Individual Thought Patterns''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ISAdamTJ4&hd=1 Trapped In A Corner]</ref> cleaving more closely to technical death metal and ''Symbolic''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wto1ySSFARE Crystal Mountain]</ref> and ''The Sound of Perseverance''
Further bands that are generally classified as technical/progressive death metal (exact subgenre noted by their name) include:

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]] - Quite frequently; chances are good that [[Muggles|nobody you know]] could perform, [[Your Head Asplode|let alone write]], most of this stuff.
* [[Badass Normal]] - Implied by the above.
