beat yr own KID

I dunno about calling any of those bands technical metal. Metal surely isn't my strong point but when I hear tech metal I think of psyopus or Ephel Duath or something...you know...technical?

I take it you don't even have the slightest f*cking idea what Extreme Metal is.

It's not a genre, and overall it's a very broad term, it's simply a cluster of various metal subgenres... Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Doom Metal and Technical Death Metal all qualifies as Extreme Metal, everyone I listed (only a some random amount of what I have actually heard) falls under one of those categories, thus making them Extreme Metal.

Anyway, Rise asked me about technical metal, I mainly stuck to naming Extreme Metal bands (I did forget to mention Morbid Angel and several others) because I know thats what he likes... Anyway, aside from Extreme Metal... I have also heard a lot of stuff like Racer X, Cacophony, Mr Big, Nitro and most bands that Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheenan were a part of, a lot of Power Metal.

And Progressive Metal of course, which is pretty damn technical.

May, I know a good deal of Nitro fanboys.

I personally can't stand them, primarly because of the vocals and guitar.

Minimalism is underrated and often misunderstood.

Therein lies the problem.

Only Cynic and Athiest can really be considered Technical Death Metal. I can reccomend/YSI some albums or songs if you're willing to give it another shot.
