japanese hardcore band ENVY is probably the best thing i've heard in the
last two years. it's like mogwai on metal with some tasteful electronic
textures mixed in. they are unbelievably powerful and fluid.
Hella and Lightning Bolt are two guitar/drums duos that push the
speed/complexity issue (hella is better)
Melt Banana has been blazingly fast and with tons with quirky guitar effects
that make them rather digital at times. Charlie is a fantastic starting
point.
Mastadon does great crafty epic metal, their latest album some weird
retelling of moby dick.
obviously Fantomas rocks the speed, experimental, oldschool/electronic
boundary quite well.
hell, check out Wolf Eyes too. american noise terrorist outfit, great live
shows, brutal-brutal-thumping.
Dillinger Escape Plan's 'calculating infinity' album is amazing math-metal
nearly beyond camparison with it's craftsmanship. just beware their more
recent stuff with different singer... not so good.
good thread idea.
