I’m looking for some good death metal like Nile featuring awesome blast beats. Any recommendations? I mainly listen to Archspire and a few other tech death bands but am trying to branch out.

I’d love to hear more about your favourites too! Give a penny, take a penny! Especially stuff that isn’t as over-the-top as Psyopus and the craziest stuff Archspire puts out.
Like, I feel that Nile, Origin, Rings of Saturn and their like are at their best, when they blend in some harmony, coherent structure and melody as a contrast to the hammering.
My favorite death metal bands at the moment are:
Archspire
Cytotoxin (Definitely give them a listen if you haven’t)
Beyond Creation
Soreption
Nile
I’m also into thrash, mainly when working out lol. I like:
Slayer’s Reign in Blood album. Don’t really like the rest of their stuff
Havok
Dark Angel
Municipal Waste
Cytotoxin is a name I’ve seen pop up every now and then, but haven’t given them time. I’ll fix this asap. Beyond Creation is great, a real household name at our home. Algorhythm is a stellar album, and really encapsulates what great tech death can be. It’s not all about speed.
I’m not sure if you like the jazzier side Beyond Creation puts out, but if you do, I think you might like White Ward. They are a black metal-ish (post black metal??) group with a quite big spot given to saxophone. The bands plays well, they have a great sound on their latest album and the songs absolutely kick ass.
I’ll check out White Ward!
Cytotoxin is great, you won’t regret it. A couple of my favorites are Radiophobia, Nuklearth, and Radiatus Generis (the song with the geiger counter breakdown)
Cytotoxin IS great! Listening to Nuklearth, this stuff is great. Thank you for the recommendation!
