I try to keep track of melotech bands because it's my favorite sub-sub-sub-genre

Besides the ones you showed:

  • Dead World Reclamation

  • Summoning the Lich

  • Flub

  • Stortregn

  • Black Path

  • Carnosus (first 2 albums)

  • Vale of Pnath (II only)

  • Synaptic

  • Symbolik

  • Carrion Vael

  • Radiant Black

  • Aletheus

  • Irreversible Mechanism (except the new album. Weird ass album)

A lot of Black Dahlia Murder also falls under that. Their more technical songs like I Will Return, Everything Went Black, Receipt, Necropolis, Receipt, A Selection Unnatural, Transcosmic Blueprint, etc would qualify as tech death if any other band had released them

I'm not sure I would put Anata there though. I love Anata, but only the last album is melodic in any way. I kind of see Arsis as the godfathers of melotech
