Technical death metal and metalcore act from Korolyov near Moscow, active since 2006 and fusing intricate musicianship with aggressive breakdowns. Their long-running career has allowed them to refine a sound that balances technical ambition with crushing impact.
Chicago's Gigan are among the most disorienting forces in progressive and technical death metal, dismantling conventional song structure in favor of alien, cosmos-eating compositions that feel genuinely unknowable. Since 2008, they've existed in a category largely of their own invention.
