Listened today to Spawn of Possession's Noctambulant - absolute masterpiece from start to finish (skipping Sour Flow lol)
What sets Spawn apart as a #Neoclassical #TechDeath band is the influence of 20th Century classical composers like #Shostakovich. You don't get the cheesy Bach quotes (as much as I like those) and instead get really dark and intense harmony with good chunk of dissonance, complex song structure, rhythmic changes, #counterpoint etc.
And here is also my favorite song from the album, though not an easy choice. Close 2nd contenders are Scorched and Lash by Lash
SoP - In my own Greed
