Algophobia delivers technical death metal from Ascoli Piceno in the southern Marche since 2019. Named after the fear of pain, their music paradoxically inflicts the very sensation its name dreads through surgically precise brutality.
Alkaloid is a German progressive and technical death metal band formed in Munich in 2013 by former members of Obscura, Triptykon, and Dark Fortress, including vocalist Morean and drummer Hannes Grossmann. The band's three albums — The Malkuth Grimoire (2015), Liquid Anatomy (2018), and Numen (2022) on Season of Mist — fuse brutal technical death metal with science fiction concepts, polyrhythmic complexity, and unexpected melodic turns, earning wide critical acclaim within the progressive death metal community. Their dense, intellectually ambitious compositions set them apart as one of the more distinctive acts in contemporary extreme metal.
