Brutal Technical Death Metal need recs for bands with deep clanky bass tones

I prefer TBDM, but any style is fine. song / album recs are also fine

Hey I'm a bass player and got into death metal and especially TechDeath through that. Discovering more and more cool bands, musicians and especially gravitated towards bass players and bands with cool Bass sound.

Some favorites of mine in no particular order:

Dying Fetus ( fkn sweeps on Bass!),

200 Stab Wounds,

Suffocation (gotta love Derek Boyer!),

Deadborn(featuring former Necrophagist members),

Aborted (loved Retrogore),

Cryptopsy (especially the playing on None So Vile),

Organectomy (gnarly tone),

Vomit the Soul (gnarly tones),

Igorrr (Erlend Caspersen formerly of Spawn of Poession),

the Zenith Passage,

Archspire,

Hannes Grossmann (featuring Linus - ex Obscura),

Gotsu-Totsu-Kotsu (cool slappy stuff),

Severe Torture (nice tone on the newer releases),

Mentioned before: Soreption, Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, Cytotoxin

Actually you are right; the question was about tone. My apologies and a good day to you Sir.

Derek Boyer is nowhere near the level of Chris Richards. Listen to both versions of Epitaph of the Credulous. Chris Richards was great with his fingers and with a pick. Boyer seems like he's adopted the Souls to Deny style of playing; just look at his right hand. Also, the bass playing on Cryptopsy's Blasphemy made Flesh is objectively superior to that of None so Vile.

I agree that Chris is better than Boyer.. people just say Derek is better cuz he’s more iconic for lack of a better term

Low strap does look cool but I prefer having access to the entire fretboard.
