Stefan NordströmStockholm, SwedenMusician, content creatorDesolator, SoliloquiumThere is a wide array of bands considered progressive death metal. The genre includes everything from ultra-technical, extreme bands like Necrophagist, Decrepit Birth and Lykathea Aflame to more progressive contemporaries like Opeth and Cynic. The borders between progressive and technical death metalcan be hard to distinguish; many bands rightfully...
Death metal itself started in the mid-80’s when bands like Death and Possessed wanted to take the extreme sounds of thrash metal even further. The early death metal sound was purposely ferocious and as violent as possible. The sound from the 80’s and early 90’s scenes in the U.S. and Sweden is now referred to as old school death metal. In the late ...
Progressive death metal started in the early 90’s when bands like Death, Cynic and Atheist started getting creative with their death metal sounds. There was a strong jazz influence and the compositions were often action-packed, abrupt and adventurous. In 1991, Death released the jazzy, spacy “Human” album, featuring Cynic members Sean Reinert and P...
The Swedish death metalscene also started utilizing progressive metal elements in the early 90’s. Edge of Sanity mastermind Dan Swanö used some clean vocals, even on the band’s debut album. Later the band became full-fledged progressive death metal. Another strange, progressive gem from the early Swedish scene is the completely manic 1992 album “Pr...
Backing up to the mid-90’s and changing continent, Death kept going more and more progressive, technical and melodic. 1993’s “Individual Thought Patterns” was another exercise in intricate, yet well written death metal. The “Symbolic” album (1995) saw Death’s sound grow more contemporary and melodic. Death’s last album before Chuck Schuldiner’s unf...
During the 90’s, other new twists and turns to the death metal music style happened around the world. Amorphis released its famous “Tales From the Thousand Lakes” album in 1994. This album is a merciless mash-up of musical styles, incorporating everything from folk metal to progressive rock and doom metal into a melodic death metal soundscape. Edge...
The genre enjoyed a wide boost in popularity in 2001 when Opeth released their hailed “Blackwater Park” album. It propelled the progressive death metal genre big time, and turned many young melodic death metal fans like myself onto more adventurous types of extreme music. Ultra-technical Germans Necrophagist also released their two full-length albu...
Gojira, one of the most popular modern extreme metal bands, is also usually counted as progdeath. I’m not a fan of the band, but I understand why they are categorized as progressive. The band is certainly not afraid to experiment, but I’m not sure that they belong in the death metal genre to begin with. There are also progressive leanings in many m...
Classic old school piece of progressive death metal with a huge influence on the genre. Musically wild, jazzy piece that still manages to be aggressive. Listen to Atheist on Spotify Listen to Atheist on Bandcamp
1998 was a legendary year for progressive death metal, with 3 all time classics released. Death, the arguable originators of death metal and in my opinion the best band to have ever played it, went out with a bang with The Sound Of Perseverance, one of the greatest progressive metal albums ever. Originally intended for Chuck Schuldiner's other ...
Today, progressive death metal refers to 2 somewhat different genres, with bands like Opeth, Orphaned Land, and Ne Obliviscaris on one side and bands like Death, Atheist, and Gorguts on the other. Some have suggested that the former bands be called "extreme progressive metal" instead, something Ne Obliviscaris already does; as a fan of both ...

For the most part, we Ashevillians take that to heart. So, too, it seems, do Pennsylvania’s weird blackened death duo Veilburner.
