Techniques

Terrance is renowned in the death metal scene for having combined fast and repetitive barred riffing closely accompanied by other swept and often technical unexpected patterns: laying down the basics of Technical/Brutal death metal of today. He is also well known for his bizarre sounding, swept mocking solos famously accompanied with his signature tremolo utilisation, usually in the form of divebombs and trills along with finger tapping. Pierced from Within is a classic example, containing an array of complex breakdowns and atmospheric solos, along with Effigy of the Forgotten and Souls to Deny, which features a great deal of layered riffing and unusual melodies.
