Are there any bands that combine elements of Death/Doom with progressive/technical death metal?

Not even sure if this really exists as a style any band even does but I'm curious because they're my 2 favorite styles of death metal, the closest band I can think of would be Civerous on their most recent album Maze Envy where they had a lot of interesting proggy passages but I'm wondering if there's any bands that take the prog/tech stuff a bit further or even get into dissonant/avant garde death metal territory.

Did a quick guitar playthrough for my band Of Earth and Ash(Death Metal, FFO Morbid Angel, Old Gojira, Riffs in 11/8)

Quick one take playthrough of the song, a lot of pretty tricky riffs in 11/8 in this one. Also, we definitely accidentally completely ripped off the intro riff from Them Bones by Alice in Chains for the first breakdown, sorry Jerry Cantrell.

NGD: Got a second Dave Davidson WR7

I wanted to get a second 7 string and ended up deciding to just get the warrior in the other color because of how much I loved the yellow one.

Floyd Rose has the gold stainless steel upgrade kit, wasn't even necessary but I do think it adds a nice pop of extra color and should help with longevity.

Feels absolutely incredible and effortless to play, fretwork is flawless, I have the action set super low with no fret buzz. If you're on the fence about one of these do it, they're incredible instruments.

Decided I had to get another 7

Just got the Red Dave Davidson WR7 after heavily debating what 7 string to buy as a backup for the yellow one, ended up deciding I might as well just grab the other color because I already love the yellow one so much and I wanted something that would play and sound the same.

Installed a gold stainless steel upgrade kit for the Floyd Rose and swapped the arm to a push in.

Can't wait to play some death metal riffs on this thing once I finish setting it up!

Pretty much what the title says, I have the DiMarzio bluesbucker in the neck position of most of my 6 string guitars because I have never really been a fan of the sound of a neck humbucker, they're just too warm and lack the articulation I want. Unfortunately DiMarzio doesn't seem to actually make a 7 string version so Im looking for alternatives. I know bare knuckle makes humbucker sized p90s for 7 and 8s but I don't know if I've seen them from any other brands.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For my band I'm the vocalist/guitarist and I've recently started running in ears specifically for being able to monitor my vocals without needing to worry about the monitoring situation at any venue, anybody who's played small clubs probably knows the struggle of not being able to hear yourself when singing and how much it can negatively impact your performance. I'm currently just using the cheap Shure SE215s and they're fine for the most part but I've noticed I get a lot of sound "leaking in" and hissing etc when I'm actively doing vocals and it's super distracting, I assume it's due to the foam tips breaking the seal in my ears. I've already tried using the largest size replacement tips comply makes and I still get the same issue.

I know I can always go for the fancy custom molded ones but I'm hoping there's a cheaper non custom option I can use
