Djent

[Lozinski]

LOL I KNOW THEM.

They're from my city and I've met all the members multiple times. Great band! Not really my cup of tea tho

[laxlife1234]

Wow, last night was fucking amazing. Saw Periphery, Protest the Hero, The Safety Fire, Today I caught the Plague, and the Jeff Loomis band.

Probably the best show I have ever seen. Met a lot of the band members from The Safety Fire and Today I caught the Plague, really a bunch of nice dudes. Definitely going to be seeing them again and I must say they're much better live. Periphery wound up livening up the crowd though, otherwise it was a very boring crowd.

interesting thread with all the drummers talking, and emphasizing the technical aspects.

i have just started playing guitar again and play mostly post/noise rock. i started playing with metal dudes during the thrash/crossover period i love metal rhythm guitar.

i am currently obsessed with meshuggah, some of the stuff posted in this thread is interesting to compare as the chugging owes something to meshuggah in the tone, but the more straightforward melodic moments remind of of radio rock, something akin to christian metal in the '80s.

the tone of the chugging itself is brutal and dry, the first guitars i remember hearing like this was metallica and justice for all, for all of the arguments about the sound of that record, james hetfield made a guitar sound like pieces of polystyrene rubbing together, dry resonant, at a time when the rest of the metal/hardcore world still had guitar tones that owed so much to classic rock.

please forgive my derail.

I'm not down with the thread dying So derail away hahaha.

I kinda swept back into metalcore tho...

Any new djent releases or discoveries??

[akuma no uta]

The Acacia Strain went kinda 'djent'y with their last record, more just rhythmic chugging, and their newer tracks are so groove metal

Same. Not a fan of ITB though, although the drummer personally hit me up on FB when they were nobodies to check them out which I thought was cool, so I have always felt somewhat linked to them lol.

No worries.

Meshuggah owns. They are one of the first bands to ever use the djent sound on the guitar. The technical aspect of Meshuggah is ridiculous, they gave inspiration to a lot of bands from what I know. As a drummer listening to Thomas Haake on the drums your brain can't even piece together how a human can make music like him.

Haha my bad man, I like to spam

And yes, the great misdirect is pretty epic. I couldn't wait for parallax II so I just torrented it lol. The fanboy in me absolutely love it, but in reality it's pretty similar to their last albums, I feel as if they were trying to hard to recreate their sound. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely phenomenal, but you are right, it is not their best to date. Other than that it's still enjoyable as hell, I liked the direction they were taking Parallax I more so than II.

[the hall of vame]

pretty similar to what one of my friends told me about the album. ive only heard a little so ill let you know once i get my hands on a copy

[laxlife1234]

The choruses and clean singing is to look forward to. Otherwise yeah, the screaming is basically like it is on every album. I sure you'll enjoy it very much though.

[Lozinski]

This is intriguing hahaha
