Isn't that a style of rock music?

As far as I can tell, it's basically heavier prog, but I'm not sure. While I'm into genres that are tangentially related, prog/math stuff has never really been my scene, so YMMV.

Not necessarily heavier, just more technical, usually with polyrhythms and funky time signatures.

Not necessarily heavier. Check out TTNG or Delta Sleep.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking of mathcore like Dillinger Escape Plan and Between the Buried and Me.

Fair enough. Genre names are pretty wild these days. Lol.

Yeah, I like how it's a great way to describe a band's sound to others who are conversant with related genres, but it can be really opaque to newcomers. "Technical progressive space-death" and "blackened funeral doom" are very descriptive, but only if you know the proper context
