Info
On November 20, 2026 at Dickens in Calgary, Psycroptic bring their Tasmanian brand of technical death metal: tight, shifting rhythms, riffs built like puzzles, and that constant sense of control even when the tempo snaps in half. Since the early 2000s, the band have refined a sound that stays dense and aggressive while keeping the songwriting sharp, moving from early staples like The Scepter of the Ancients through to more recent records such as Divine Council. Expect precision drumming, restless guitar work, and songs that never sit still for long.
Inferi come in with a more melodic take on tech death, mixing speed and cleanly stacked harmonies with darker, symphonic-leaning details. Their run from The Path of Apotheosis to Vile Genesis shows how they balance complexity with memorable motifs, built for head-down intensity without losing clarity.
Cognitive lean into a harsher, more brutal edge: compact tracks, heavy low-end riffs, and relentless pacing shaped by years of releases from Deformity to Abhorrence. Summoning the Lich round out the bill with technical death metal powered by fantasy storytelling, switching between breakneck parts and hookier phrases, as heard on United in Chaos and Under the Reviled Throne.
