Myotonia - Myotonia (2007)


If The Arusha Accord's Nightmares of the Ocean was at the Sikth+The Dillinger Escape Plan end of the "fuck me" spectrum, then Myotonia would be at the DEP+Meshuggah end, or, in other words, the "I want to dance and headbang at the same time because this is so fucking groovy and heavy!" end.

I'd advise against jamming to this in your car because it directs all your attention directly to everything but the road as soon as it begins.

Beecher - Discography (2003 - 2005)


Sure, both Botch and The Dillinger Escape Plan were huddled in vans writing brain-shattering arpeggios in non-existent keys long before these guys ditched their training wheels, but mother of fuck does this band get overlooked. Forget the two aforementioned fretboard magicians -- as far as aggressive-as-fuck old school mathcore and I are concerned , Beecher is king.
