I have to say it, even though I don't want to.

Thomas Erak is sickeningly technical.

Dream Theater - Allllllll
Startovarius - Allllllll

ummmm, My friend Joe. He's great

Sorry everyone but you've all been Failing.
These posts are from years ago, and the times are changing.
The most technical music you will find.












Animals as Leaders.

Japanese Zeuhl is ****ing nuts. I think if any genre/area deserves credit for being technical it's them. I mean, just listen to the rhythmic complexity, and precision:

I would actually agree with you. Plus I love that djent style. It is amazing how easy the guitarist makes it look.

Think this is a bit too reliant on repetitive patterns. A lot of respect for the precision, and the guitar work. Especially using palm technique.

It's a feat itself, but not enough to discredit a lot of things that are mentioned. I mean, one could argue that chord heavier music with more difficult time changes would be more difficult than this which mainly focuses on playing a consistent rhythm, and speed. Even if the speed is blisteringly fast.

It's one thing as an instrumentalist to just 'go go go go go go go'. It's another to 'go go stop go stop go go go stop'. Especially when synchronizing instruments.

I feel like that was almost really good but I'm not quite sold on it. It feels like it's lacking in some area I can't quite put my finger on. It think maybe the drummer didn't quite do it for me, I'd still be curious to hear more stuff from these guys though.

That's true. They aren't as disjointed as some but I guess that's what I like about them. They are extremely technical while still retaining a cohesive sound. It just depends on what you think is more challenging. I think 'go go go go go' method could be just as challenging with complex polyrhythms.
