in pains is pretty good albeit with more straightforward guitarwork than i had hoped, certainly less trout-mask-replica-like than obscura. the drums are the standout for me with a level of variety far exceeding my expectations :coffee:

Death metal is always going to be about riff shape. For weird prog (generally jazz fusion influenced) you get Gorguts "Obscura" and Pestilence "Spheres," maybe Atheist "Unquestionable Presence," but if the bands leave behind the riff shape language, it's no longer death metal and rapidly falls apart in my experience. There are some adjacent acts like Supuration and Voivod that are more conventionally recognizable as "proggy" but for me prog starts with King Crimson, Camel, Greenslade, Yes, Genesis, etc. and is a different animal entirely.

i'm sure there are plenty of techdeath albums out there i'd enjoy, i just haven't really explored the genre all that much yet.

i find the yes and genesis type of prog rock boring; i'm more into the henry cow and aksak maboul type of prog rock. king crimson is kind of in between.
