Technical death metal is a more complex subgenre of death metal with complex rhythms, riffs and song structures. There is debate over whether a band may fall under technical death metal or progressive death metal, as both genres are death metal with an emphasis on technical musicianship. Some bands may emphasize death metal's brutality with complexity, some bands may be progressive metal with death metal elements, depending on perspective.
