Somewhere on the bloody trail up from the poison swamp, brutal death metal absorbed a higher intelligence, and technical death metal was spawned. For this week’s metal history lesson, Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”, Bazillion Points) delivers a master class of bizarre overachiever head-cracking bands like Gorguts, Meshuggah, Cynic, Death, Necrophagist, Demilich, Born of Osiris and more! Know your bloody but brainy roots!
