I don't think there is a band that sounds like them. Obviously, their biggest influence is Voivod, and their vocalist sounds like Schmier from Destruction, but I'm sure you know both of those bands. I would suggest Mutant (UK) if you haven't heard them. They have a 4 song EP called Laserdrome that's fairly techy and it's really interesting music.

Definitely Obliveon's From This Day Forward; they have a very similar Destruction-meets-Voivod thing going for them, only a bit more death metal-y and underproduced (it's from 1990, afterall).

I found Vektor to sound a lot like Coroner.

Wasn't there just a thread like this recently?

You'll want some technical 80s European thrash metal perhaps:

Mekong Delta
Paradox (Heresy and beyond)
Deathrow (Deception Ignored album, 1989)
Pestilence (Mallevs Maleficarvm, 1988)
Kreator (the late 80s up to Coma of Souls)
Wolf Spider
Pyracanda

Or some old US technical prog/thrash:

Watchtower
Psychotic Waltz

Or perhaps some more modern bands:

Revocation (USA)
Soulless (USA)
Theory in Practice (Sweden)
Spiral Architect

Hope any of this helps.

Hell yes, Black Future is an awesome record.

OP, this is probably a really obvious rec, but post-Human Death could be to your liking.

Mutant is a good rec for Vektor. Thanks for that.

Kreator is not technical. Not in the least. Neither is Pestilence (but I'm not totally sure about this). Still, great bands though.

Everything else that guy said are brilliant recs.

Some Kreator stuff is technical. Maybe not like Coroner, but don't tell me that No Reason to Exist is easy to play on guitar (not to mention, singing at the same time...)

Kreator is rather similar to Megadeth in terms of technicality. Both are more technical than the typical Slayer or early Dark Angel, but nowhere near Coroner and other similar bands.

Anyway screw the genre-labelling and go listen for yourself whether Kreator are technical enough :)

I've never heard Vector, but you could try some Sadus
