Tech Metal Bassists?

[MaskedJackal]

I believe that would be Alex Webster. I didnt check the link, but I think hes involved.

No, but Alex does play with Ron Jarzombek from Watchtower and Charlie from Behold... in Blotted Science.

The Warr guitarist in Behold... is one Colin Marston, a prolific and awesome musician and producer. Among other projects, he plays in Dysrhythmia, who aren't necessarily metal but are an incredible tech trio. He runs Paincave Studios and remastered all the Atheist albums for the Relapse reissues a few years ago.

Which brings me to my next point. LISTEN TO SOME ATHIEST. Unquestionable Presence is an album so tastefully and brilliantly arranged that its badass factor is...uh...UNQUESTIONABLE! Tony Choy and Roger Patterson are/were great (RIP Rog).

+10000 on Rainer from Pavor. Most technical band I've ever heard. SDG is also a given, top-notch player and top-notch guy.

And also...Ron Royce from Coroner. He's like the Geddy of tech-thrash.

That's all I'm gonna add for now, I type the same list every time on of these threads pop up.

My favorite players are:
Tony Choy - Atheist + patterson
steve digiorgio – Sadus, Death
Alex Webster - Blotted Science (Machinations of Dementia).
Pete perez – spastic ink
Daniel Mongrain - Martyr
Sean Malone - Cynic
Lars K. Norberg - Spiral Architect
Ron Royce – Coroner
The guy in the album spheres of pestilence
Just to mention a few

Jeroen Paul Thesseling, now in a newer technical death metal band called Obscura.

Yeah, there's bass tab for "Masked Jackal" on the unofficial site at www.designvortex.com/coroner . Also most of Ron's lines consist of doubling Tommy note-for-note, so if you don't mind reading guitar tabs...there's a LOT out there to look at.

Arif Mirabdolbaghi

Band - Protest The Hero

 

[SurrenderMonkey]

Erlend Caspersen - Blood Red Throne. Death metal, but he is spectacular.

 

[nickbear]

the current and past bassist from dysrhythmia get my vote... fairly technical, great tone and imo great music

 

[UsherSyndrome]

Link Removed (Cannibal Corpse, Blotted Science ...)

Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus ...)

Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Pestilence, Obscura ...)

Sean Malone (Cynic, Gordian Knot ...)

 

[Necronomichrist]

I've got to give it too Alex Webster hes the godfather of death metal bass how can you not love him?

But if you want someone more technical how about Lars Norberg from Spiral Architect hes a fretless wizard!

Wanna know something crazy? There's zero fretless on A Sceptic's Universe. He played a fretted Modulus Q4 through a SWR head and Ampeg cab, IIRC...and only recently acquired a Gary Willis fretless 5er.

 

[Necronomichrist]

Thats crazy it sounds just like a fretless.

 

[nutterisgo]

PAUL GRAY AND FIELDY.

 

[mfgl]

I'm a little confuse, what exactly is, or makes it 'tech metal'?

gay names and relative obscurity evidently.

 

[Tired_Thumb]

...Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus ...)

Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Pestilence, Obscura ...)

Sean Malone (Cynic, Gordian Knot ...)

Nice, these three guys are on top of my list.

 

[Malpractice]

I am a big fan of Liam Wilson. Amazing tone especially on Ire Works. So thick and full of growl.

An example of DiGiorgio's talent on a fretless (though they cut out the bass solos at the end ). The bassline at 1:42 is one of the creepiest I've heard (and only possible on a fretless).

 

[scottblessed]

Bass player from Into The Moat is AMAZING!

Liam Wilson from DEP Obviously

Stefan Fimmers from Necrophagist

Guy from Psyopus is amazing too, crazy tapping ll the time.

 

[Peccavi]

don't think i heard sikth or opeth so just throwing them out there. the bass player for dying fetus is pretty good too actually.

 

[hibbs]

Michael Horn from Psyopus
