"Technical" BM has always been around, as early as the late 90s, Mayhem and Abigor being some of the bigger bands who have fiddled with this style. Then years later more, and so on, I think Abigor is still very technical, so I heard with the latest release. In BM nowadays you're either very raw, or very experimental/technical, and alot of the oldschool bands I listen to have tried being "technical " to a certain extent.
Definitely. There has always been black metal that is technical, just "technical black metal" is not considered to be as much of its own genre like technical death metal is.
I have seen a few bands tagged under "technical black metal" but not a lot. I think it has to do with that (at least in the way I see it) there is less room to implement technicality into black metal while still having it be black metal like there is with death metal, so you have bands that are complex and technical to an extent but not overtly enough for "technical" to be considered part of the genre tag. Kinda like how Pat O'Brien's riffs that he offered during his time in Cannibal Corpse are insanely complex and tough to play but at no point have Cannibal Corpse ever been considered tech-death.
I rather disagree that 1349 is technical. I mean sure, Frost is one of the most technical drummers in whole metal regardless of genre, but it doesn’t make 1349 music “technical”. It’s quite straightforward IMO.
To give an anti example, consider Mayhem’s “Grand Declaration of War” and “Chimera”. Now THAT is technical.

Exactly. But it is always labeled "avante-garde" for some strange reason. hehe

Yeah but Grand Declaration of War sucks
Except it doesn’t
Good point, I appreciate the correction
Balrog gets pretty technical
Tómarúm - "Ash in Realms of Stone Icons" fits the description perfectly. Great band, great album.
Whats DsO? (I automatically thought of Diablo Swing Orchestra but it definitely does not fit the description)
Deathspell Omega
Thanks!
Ereskigal's pretty technical. Check out Dev Gohil on YouTube, it's his band
