Our friends at Metal Injection tell us that our other friends at The Apparatus have compiled a 21 track collection of awesome songs by awesome unsigned tech metal bands. How much would you pay for this awesome comp? Five dollars? Ten dollars? Fifteen dollars?!?! Well, guess what, suckas: IT’S FREE! So you are actually, definitively, objectively a moron if you don’t download it.

You can get info on all the bands who appear on the comp here, or just download the darn thing here.

    Nice Battletech Mad Cat for the comp album cover…

      I thought the same thing.

    • groverXIII

      I’m glad I’m not the only nerd here who noticed that!

      • iolanach

        Yup, first thing i noticed too. Used to be a huge battletech nerd.

        Can’t get into the new “era” though…

        • That Other Guy

          Wow, i thought i would have been the only one to recognise that Madcat.
          old school battletech for the win.

  • The Goat

    If by “tech metal” you mean nu deathcore, then I’ll pass.

    • keepitwolf

      listen to it before you make an ass out of yourself next time

      • Fish

        Nah mate, he’s right. I’ve never been more disappointed. I thought this was gonna be full of obscura/necrophagist/arsis wanabee bands which woulda been awesome. But no, I have just downloaded 21 discord-fuelled deathcore songs.

        This is awful. I’ve been robbed

        • keepitwolf

          i think you guys need to update you’re genre definitions. there is a difference between death metal and tech metal. also despised icon is deathcore do any of those bands sound similar to said band? No. this whole pigeon holing bands as deathcore trend needs to stop. that label is just absurd seeing how a majority (97%) of the bands with that label have neither core or death aspects. anybody who doesnt like a “deathcore” band because they are a “deathcore” band is just as trend follower as a kid in gym shorts and a flat brimmed hat. open you’re minds for a second.

          • Lord Bling

            “kid in gym shorts and a flat brimmed hat”

            Could you be referencing that MI interview with the singer from The Red Chord? I LOL’d so hard at that part.

            ‘Slipknot has Maggots, Five Finger Death Punch has Knuckleheads, and Suicide Silence has Wiggers.’

    Sweet!

    I hope these kind of things pop up more often in the future…..

    • keepitwolf

      visit the apparatus and they will continue to pop up

    Get that shit-metal away from my Timber Wolf, to think of all the Jade Falcon I killed with the Timber Wolf only to have it be disgraced.

    • killdozer666

      Clan Wolf was the shit!

  • groverXIII

    I’ll give it a go. I mean, if I don’t like it I can just delete it, right?

  • Canvas Of Flesh

    Seems to be a lot of -core stuff on it. It’s not my thing, but there are a couple passable songs on it.

  • The Hate Machine

    Wow that was a true waste of bandwidth. I fucking hate that screamo shit. Its like a group of musicians let the retard into the band room to rant over a mic. fuck i hate that shit. You would think with the steady climb of musicianship in metal these days that singers would rise to the occasion.

    • Anselmowitz

      Exactly, For how truly technical the musicians get, the vocals are always monotonous & uninspired. Even necrophagist is guilty.

      • Lord Bling

        If Necrophagist would get a specific vocalist who had some range, they would own the world.

        • metalguy

          thank you!! ive been trying to find why i cant realy get into them. the vox are def the weakest link

  • bill

    thanks for the free music! loved it.

  • Randy Blythe’s Illegitimate Child

    Wow…… that was the biggest waste of my time…… Axl you can do better than that…

  • syclonus

    i liked the instrumental pieces best. every vocalist on that compilation sounded ridiculous and disgusting with the single-pitch screaming. doesnt that shit grate on your ears after a while?

    I downloaded the Brazen Bull EP a couple of months ago, and it RULES. Highly recommended.

  • Facebook User

    lmao on the dude who said it’s all deathcore. aphotic discord is deathcore? or any -core for that matter? feeding the foxes is deathcore? you’re an idiot.

    all i’m saying is, after listening to this, check out aphotic discord and feeding the foxes.
    and then lick my ass.

    • Anselmowitz

      Can i just cut the shit & growl your ass? Maybe I’ll get a corn of your wisdom & for a fleeting second I’ll believe any band on this album isn’t 10 years too late to the Calculating Infinity party. Die.

        a comment like that coming from someone with your username is just laughable.
