Primary Stylistic Influences:
Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Avant-Garde Metal
Secondary Stylistic Influences:
Thrash Metal, Grindcore, Groove Metal, Progressive Rock, Jazz Fusion
Technical death metal and progressive death metal are subgenres of Death Metal that infuse the (in)famous 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.
There is, or can be, a difference between "technical death metal" and "progressive death metal", though many artists fit both descriptions or oscillate between. While both are undeniably musically sophisticated and extremely brutal, tech death bands tend to come across as much more intense, often performing their complex compositions with blinding speed and pounding aggression, or in a manner that emphasises the virtuosic skill and precision of the performances. Technical death metal can thus sometimes have a somewhat machine-like, "triggered" sound, with instruments starting and stopping suddenly or irregularly, playing precisely calculated riffs or patterns which shift frequently and sometimes seemingly at random, only to form part of a larger motif or series of progressions which become apparent upon close listening.
"Progressive death metal", on the other hand, tempers the conventional "death metal" repertoire of elements with jazzy breakdowns, melodic refrains, unusual (for death metal) instrumentation and vocalisation, or slower tempi, and generally draws liberally from diverse musical traditions to create elaborate, multilayered sounds that evolve across lengthy and eclectic albums. Progressive death metal thus tends to be more diverse or less identical-sounding, in that while tech death bands commonly draw inspiration from other musical forms, progressive death metal bands often do so multiply within a single song or album, and though demonstrably capable of the sort of chops-intensive wizardry found in tech death, prog death bands often forego these displays in favour of allowing their compositions time to breathe via greater repetition, subtler permutation, and more extensive progression.
"Avant-tech" is more of a blanket label for acts that eschew conventional tech tropes, which usually translates to either a focus on dissonance or unconventional riffing approaches. Many acts that fit under this mantle have some overlap with technical or avant-garde black metal and sometimes mathcore as well, and the rule is generally that if the technicality and unconventional structures are used as tools to create specific musical textures, rather than as central features of the music, it's more likely than not avant-tech.
Thus the distinction could be argued to be that technical death metal prides itself on instrumental skill and experimentation, while progressive death metal prides itself on compositional exploration and originality, and avant focuses on technicality and complicated structures as a way of creating an atmosphere. A quicker way to explain the difference to a metalhead would be this:
Progressive: Opeth.
Technical: Decapitated.
Avant: Ulcerate. |
