I don't know the difference between jazz proficiency and tech death proficiency tbh but I assume there is a difference cause people say things. Like I said I'm just hoping.

I guess death metal proficiency is more sterile and emphasizes abrasiveness while jazz proficiency would place more value on complex interplay that's tight but still fluid. That distinction for jazz lends itself to jazz music though, so without any genre crossover I don't see where it'd be relevant beyond the trivia of jazz musicians making metal. Jazz is hard to explain man, it's a feeling.

Anyways maybe Mondo will come through with something.

I'm just sitting here thinking about Bad Brains playing hardcore in a way that a bunch of well-meaning pissants fiending off The Clash could never have and how it made punk more violent and hoping there's a death metal band that did the same thing that gives me another None So Violent to marvel at.

is this good

I dunno how many times I've told you to listen to Kataklysm (that EP and their full length Sorcery) but I'm not just playin out here



edit: it seems Temple of Knowledge slaps too



so whether or not early Kataklysm fits this relatively vague criteria, and they probably don't, not exactly mad technical but just frantically savage and esoterically brutal in a way that kinda gives them their own distinct vision of brutality, I think you should really listen to them nonetheless.

Ive recently been listening to a lot of Minas Morgul and have been looking for more symphonic black metal (preferably some like their 1998 demo, The Dark Age Of Revelation)

Burnt Flowers Fallen by Type O Negative



Really good goth metal.

Good Symphonic Metal bands
 

Could you guys recommend and good ones?

Just found these guys. Really liked them.
Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy - folk metal, doom metal

I am not sure if they have been mentioned already (Sorry - I don't feel like going through all 200 pages of posts..lol), BUT, I have really been digging Amon Amarth here lately. I came across them at the tattoo shop my husband has been going to, and for sure 10/10 would recommend.
