Technical groove metal is an intense and complex subgenre of metal that fuses the intricate, high-speed musicianship of technical metal with the head-nodding, rhythmically driven elements of groove metal. Characterized by intricate guitar riffs, complex time signatures, and syncopated rhythms, the genre demands high-level instrumental proficiency and often incorporates elements of progressive metal. Vocals range from deep growls to aggressive shouts, complementing the aggressive, yet rhythmically engaging, soundscapes. Bands in this genre, such as Decapitated and Meshuggah, are known for their ability to interweave technical precision with powerful grooves, creating a sound that is both challenging and captivating.
