First of all, i am starting a new thread because i think this genre is pretty specific, and i don't think that i could get as specialized recommendations in any other existing thread.
to cut to the chase, i need more bands that sound like Meshuggah.
it isn't as easy as i might have thought to find some decent techy bands that aren't a generic, crappy rip-off of the great Meshuggah. i've gone through last-fm and wikipedia, and a lot of the bands that i listened to just dont cut it.
so here is a list of bands i would call meshuggahish, and good (i'm not looking for a exact clone of meshuggah, i just really dig the riff style.)
Coprofago
Textures (the first two albums only)
Frederic thorendals special defects..... (well duh.)
Mistaken Element
Gojira
Fell Silent (still not decided if i like this, not sure on the vocals)
The Ocean (i like the techy hardcore style, open to bands in this style too)
Into The Moat (deviating a bit from the style, but i really like this)
Ion Dissonance
Scarve (still undecided on this too. only heard once, too early to tell)
I didn't like;
Tesseract
Blotted Science
Between the Buried and Me
Cilice
as a side note, if the bands deviate a bit to go a bit Origin/Gorguts or EdGein like, then thats cool. oh and if there is anything like Mats/Morgan then please let me know too.
Thanks in advance.

Trying to find something that sounds like or, is as good as Meshuggah is an exercise in futility.
They are simply too good.
Im surprised nobody recommended "A Life Once Lost". A bit of a rip-off and like every other metal band (for me), they will not provide the same reward as Meshuggah, but worth a listen nonetheless.
Ironically, Meshuggah has pushed me to explore more Rush.
IMO, Meshuggah is the metal version of Rush; some striking similarities between these two groups.
For example, take a listen to the opening riff in "YYZ" off of "Moving Pictures" and see if you can match it to its big brother in "I".

Do you know the difference between tech death and progressive metal? Of the bands you have listed only Coprofago, Into the Moat, Scarve and Blotted Science counts as tech death. Meshuggah is 100% progressive metal. Odd time signature = progressive metal. They can be harder to play than some of the tech metal stuff, but it still doesn't count as tech metal. There's nothing technical about Meshuggah's music.
I think what you are looking for is not tech death, but progressive metal with lots of odd time signature. I can recommend Mastodon and SYL for you. And maybe Isis. If you want to know what counts as tech death, go check out Gorod and Anata.

"Theres nothing technical about Meshuggah's music"
That ridiculous statement unfortunately destroyed your credibility, nullifying your other suggestions.
Mastodon and Isis are no doubt great bands, but are not remotely like Meshuggah.
