Bands described as technical death metal or progressive death metal usually fuse common death metal aesthetics with elements of [[progressive rock]], [[jazz]] or [[classical music]]. While the term technical death metal is sometimes used to describe bands that focus on speed and extremity as well as complexity, the line between progressive and technical death metal is thin. ''Tech death'' and ''prog death'', for short, are terms commonly applied to such bands as [[Nile (band)|Nile]], [[Edge of Sanity]], and [[Opeth]]. [[Necrophagist]] and [[Spawn of Possession]] are known for a classical music-influenced death metal style. Death metal pioneers [[Death (metal band)|Death]] also refined their style in a more progressive direction in their final years. Some albums for this subgenre are ''[[Hallucinations (Atrocity album)|Hallucinations]]'' (1990) by the German band [[Atrocity (band)|Atrocity]] and Death's ''[[Human (Death album)|Human]]'' (1991). This style has significantly influenced many bands, creating a stream that in Europe was carried out at first by bands such as [[Gory Blister]] and Electrocution.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Sub Terra|last=Vitolo|first=Eduardo|publisher=Tsunami Edizioni|year=2012|isbn=978-88-96131-41-1|location=Milano|pages=316–319}}</ref> The Polish band [[Decapitated (band)|Decapitated]] gained recognition as one of Europe's primary modern technical death metal acts.<ref>{{cite web|first=Eduardo|last=Rivadavia|title=Decapitated Biography|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/p420031|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=February 7, 2010|archive-date=April 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110425111406/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/p420031|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Decapitated's New Lineup Performs Live For First Time|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=134476|work=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=February 3, 2010|access-date=February 7, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110426050603/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=134476|archive-date=April 26, 2011}}</ref>
