metal + techno bands?

i´m looking for bands which make some kind of metal-techno music, also without singing maybe.

i found this great track some days ago - the band name is "brother woldrom" - title "bring it"

this is what i´m looking for. 

what i don´t want: metal like thrashmetal and other gorelike and no extreme techno like speedcore/porncore/noizecore or else, but normal hardcore/hardstyle types are welcome.

just like in this track, a fine guitar, maybe drums, great techno (maybe hardcore/hardstyle would be fine) and a nice changing or simultean playing of both types together like in the video....  i love the guitar in this track (see below) :)

bands like the berzerker are much too fast (thrashmetal and speedcore) and bands like combichrist, blutengel, nachtmahr, suicide commando.... are much too technoid with almost no metal (heavy metal or hardrock) .

isn´t there any band almost like the brother woldrom with the linked track ??  thanks for helping

Two bands that are not exactly techno metal but ambient in places....although with vocals (clean/not so clean).....are An Autumn for Crippled Children and Astronoid if you haven't heard them 

Best start with album 'try not to destroy everything you love' and track by same name

and Astronoid.

Not sure if I know any metal techno hybrids. There was one band I don't remember the name of that basically played metal songs with electronic sounds, but that wasn't techno. Maybe Riikira "M027" - that's like chiptune plays metal, but not with actual guitars.

But there are some cyber-metal bands, and trance-metal crossovers.

Thee Maldoror Kollective "New Era Viral Order",  T3chn0ph0b1a "Grave New World", 2 Times Terror "Equals One Sudden Death" for the first category.

Blood Stain Child "Epsilon" (highly recommended!), Silent Descent "Turn to Grey" - for the second one.

Also there is stuff like Margin of Error "Destroy.Create.Repeat." Not sure how to classify.

I'm not mentioning Sybreed, Neurotech, ...And Oceans "Cypher" and similar stuff - it's not close to any techno. Oh wait, I just mentioned them.

P.S. Oh yeah, also this:

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
