Vocalist, guitarist, music writerStockholm, SwedenMember of Desolator, Soliloquium and several other projectsPersonally, I have a strange relationship with technical death metal.

Anata
Anata is a Swedish tech-death band featuring some glorious guitar-work. The band was on the rise in the early 2000’s, before diminishing in what seems to be label and business trouble.

And influence aside, it’s some damn good stuff that didn’t forget about the aggression either. Like many bands on the list, listening to Atheist is a combination of learning tech-death history and just enjoying the killer music.

Secondly, it’s some of the craziest death metal ever created. It’s a band that still raises my eyebrows, even with all the development in the death metal scene after the albums.
