Experimental technical jazz death? Atheist, Cynic, Spastic Ink, what else?

I'm looking for more music in this genre or any related genres. I've also checked out Death and Deicide, which while not in the same genre really, are still really close to that sound I like. I really like complex, technical arrangements and brutal driving guitar with an emphasis on skill, and Atheist is absolutely the best example of that IMO. They also have the most prominent jazz influence which I really like. So based on my preferences what are some other bands I'd like? Pandora is turning up dry, sadly.

Necrophagist

Behold....The Arctopus!

Origin

Spiral Architect (not death)

Nile

Blotted Science (Ron from Spastic Ink's project)

Cryptopsy before they went shit

 

Different styles there, all pretty technical, brutality and self-indulgence vary. Not much jazz though.

Protip: Almost all bands who play this style will inevitably suck, except for Atheist as they can do it without sounding wanky.

 

Nonetheless, you might enjoy 

Aspid

Watchtower 

Demilich or Cosmic Atrophy 

The Chasm

Sadist

Pestilence

 

Plus they are not death metal, but I highly recommend Sigh, Solefald  and Ved Buens Ende.

Anomalous

Rings of Saturn

 

Spacey tech death. The former in particular has some cool ambient sections, only got an EP out but album is almost ready to release. Lord Marco on drums ftw. Guy is a machine.

Between the Buried and Me - Diverse and complex music with a lot of infuences from different directions

Augury - Much faster and more brutal, hugely technical stuff.

Meshuggah - Very chanllenging rhythmically.

 

I also recommend Ihsahn which is more black metal but very experimental. The albums become increasingly strange when you go from oldest to newest.

Very much into the other 3, but thanks for the Augury rec!

Gorguts - Obscura

Edge of Sanity - Crimson

Gojira- From Mars to Sirius

 

I gather you heard Thordendal's solo album as your familiar with Meshuggah?

No sir! I'll have to check that out.

 

I am also way into Gojira, probably in my top 25. But they are definitely straying from the genre I'm asking about.

Naked City - Grand Guignol

 

Naked City - Grand_Guignol

 

It doesn't get any more experimental-jazz-thrash than this.  Not death tho', more hardcore screamo.

 

Dare you..

Ah, Naked City. Now there's one of the most pointless bands ever to exist in the past century

Who asked you, then?

 

You of all people should understand that if you don't like it, it doesn't mean it isn't any good.

 

What a stupid pointless post.

 

My apologies to the op for the digression.

Theory in Practice - The Armageddon Theories

Obscura - Cosmogenesis

Alarum - Eventuality

 

These records are somewhat hard and technical, but not as jazzy as maudlin of the Well, not as avant-garde as Unexpect or as carnival-ish as Diablo Swing Orchestra. If you want more crunch and finesse maybe Hieronymus Bosch - Equivoke might fit the bill to a certain degree, not that jazzy though, but very good craftsmanship, very solid release. Prefer that release more than say... Vuvr - Pilgrimage, that's plodding along in a jazzy sort of a way and not a bone-crushing ingenious twisted onslaught.

 

This is difficult, brutal hmm... Continuo Renacer debut "kinda" ticks all of the boxes, but that's all I can think of right now. By the way, the remastered Sol Niger Within gets released by Metal Mind 11. October in Europa and 7 December in USA, better sound but the crazy organ parts are gone.

 

Hard to find something of this caliber:
