The songs “The Evangelist”, “Bodiless Sleeper” and the horror-piano extravaganza “The Apparition” make this album a go-to stop for those newly introduced to tech death, and it steals the number 4 spot on this list simply because it cannot stop producing ‘WTF’ moments. The record featured Christian Muenzner on lead guitars, who plays some jaw-dropping solos. With a Lovecraftian album cover, difficult guitar riffs, and odd-times on ‘Incurso’, Swedish tech death masters Spawn of Possession redefined tech death. The popular “Omnipresent Perception” and the title track “The Aura” are every tech death fan’s bread and butter now.
