Technical metal is a sub-genre of metal that takes the compositional structures of progressive metal to its furthest extremes, resulting in extremely complex and often experimental music. Songs also sometimes exhibit a fast, shred-like playing style. The earliest bands to develop this sound were Meshuggah and Cynic, while some current bands include Spiral Architect and Aghora.
