I heard of these guys because the guitarist from Behold the Arctopus does a guest solo on one of their songs (The Ascetic Ponders). Nice brutal/technical stuff that fans of Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Augury or Spawn of Possession or whatever should check out. They had about 6 guitarists contribute to the album, so there's a lot of variety in the leads.

Their entire debut album is DLable here: http://www.podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/bands/417/music.php

Hmm it's not too bad. It doesn't seem to have a whole lot of time changeups or anything though compared to stuff like Gorguts or Behold...

Yeah true, but I just like to hear a tech metal band that plays complex music without getting lost in ridiculously fast blastbeats like Spawn of Possession or whatever do. Keep in mind that Astomatous's only release so far is essentially a glorified demo :P

Although it's not death, it's soooo tech, it's not funny!
