There's some cool pictures of Barney on stage with a single crutch looking like the lovable mad man that he is when he performs.

Does anyone have any djent to recommend? I admit I've heard of the genre but none of the top bands and since I'm old all the usual places I've asked either hadn't heard much themselves or just straight up hate the genre. Just looking to see what it's about.

I wouldn't even call AAL djent because I like them too much and the djenty poo poo is in the background instead of the main focus of the music.

Honestly past Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders I've heard exactly zero interesting or new ideas in the genre. Periphery if you like your djent served up like pop music. Misha has an alright style but the band is pretty irritating in general. Stick to those big two. They're both very talented and actually move forward instead of clinging to a genre like a meme.

Deftones' last 2 albums (especially Diamond Eyes) have djenty aspects to them. Misha Mansoor's Bulb stuff is ok too. Meshuggah is, as stated, the best though, Catch 33 is great. This was my first Meshuggah song and I still love it https://youtu.be/9IiP-Vdx_F8 NonzeroCircle fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Feb 26, 2016 |

There's also Misha & Mark from Periphery's instrumental side project Haunted Shores which is kinda cool if you're into that sort of thing. Most djenty stuff tends to be closer to metalcore so you'd want to check out that thread. Bands like Volumes, Monuments, Continents, Intervals, Polyphia, Uneven Structure, TesseracT, etc

There seems to be a lot of crossover between djenty stuff and other prog-metal/metal* sounding stuff now. As already mentioned - Meshuggah, Periphery, Also try Tesseract, The Contortionist, fellsilent, After The Burial, Veil Of Maya, Hacktivist Kilometers Davis posted:Honestly past Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders I've heard exactly zero interesting or new ideas in the genre.

If you are classing AAL as within the 'genre' there are lots of other bands also doing interesting things.

hacktivist loving suck and so do periphery and aal listen to corelia, tesseract, erra, and uneven structure Henchman of Santa posted:Just listen to Meshuggah and don't bother. see the thing 'bout this attitude is that the appeal of meshuggah is different than the appeal of djent djent is way more melodic and dreamy, less claustrophobic and hypnotic. calling djent "a bunch of inferior meshuggah ripoffs" really misrepresents it - and i am not trying to defend djent here, it's why most "prog metalcore" these days is atrocious

and they don't fully count but intronaut, kobong, neuma, panzerballett and sikth are mandatory listening also check out cyclamen, it's like sikth + envy (the screamo band) and oddly works very well. shares members with the very underappreciated band arise in stability.

Supposedly it was to help with palm muting or chugga chugga type stuff but as near as I can recall it was popular even outside that.

What else is made to carry tens of thousands of pounds of metal? The reason sounds have thickened up so much is that bands have more tracks to use in the studio. The sound gets thicker if you have two guitarists. Record each track twice, it gets even thicker. If you put two microphones at different angles on the speaker, that thickens it up. It isn't uncommon for a band to use 2-4 different amps/cabs and blend them all. All of this is further processed by being able to aggressively use compression on each track - engineers have gotten better at maximizing signal-to-noise level through their input compressors. More guitars and more layers are used to fill space now. Reverb used to be used to fill space when you only had 8 tracks or whatever. Rhythm tracks on anything modern sounding are generally four guitars, at least two microphones, and often multiple amps. Drums have also mostly been replaced with samples of ideally equalized drums that punch through the mix at certain frequencies that the producer knows to cut from the rest of the mix. But enough about modern production, I've been listening to Bombarder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnSnGk8QB3k

Well this is better than Djent, it's Skuggsjá! Full album on March 11 on Season of Mist which is the best label ( seriously - every order I get they always throw in extra CD's, and their packaging is great ). Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it's like a slightly more metal Wardruna, which is to say traditional Norwegian Folk in theme and not just the occasional whistle and mouth harp, it is almost like "World Music", heavy on the chanting/hand drums/goat horns/weird archaic instruments - no blast beats. Title Track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r-clazKRrk Kvervandi | 2016 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfphxiutN3Y Vitkispá - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGk0NWxfcko If you don't know anything about Skuggsjá it's a collaboration between a dude from Enslaved and a dude from Wardruna requested by the Norwegian government for a 200th anniversary festival: Press Release posted:"SKUGGSJÁ was conceived as a commissioned musical work written by Ivar Bjørnson and Einar Selvik. The arrangement was performed by ENSLAVED and WARDRUNA as a concert piece in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution at the Eidsivablot festival in Eidsvoll, Norway on September 13th, 2014." If you don't know anything about Wardruna, think of the Vikings (TV Show) soundtrack because they made it, at least Season 2 anyway: Wikipedia posted:Wardruna is a musical project based on Nordic spiritualism and the runes of the Elder Futhark. It was started by Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik in 2003, along with Gaahl and Lindy Fay Hella. TollTheHounds fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 26, 2016 |
