Thing is, alot of these bands aren't nearly as good as their well-known counter-parts, are usually incredibly sloppy live, and look like women from a distance. It just makes you lose faith in the future of technical hardcore and metal.

Don't worry, though, I haven't totally lost my taste for tech metal, as Calculating Infinity has been the only cd in my booklet to not be replaced in over a year.

While we're on the subject of techy metalcore I highly recommend Into the Moat. Dillinger-esque w/ a good singer and tons of mosh.
