Man, it's been a long-rear end time since I heard anything really remarkable from these guys, but after long last, Sex Machineguns have finally put out a truly good album again. It's speedy, it's thrashy, it's occasionally power metal, and it also gets delightfully unhinged in that special Japanese fashion. It'll have to be a goddamn phenomenal rest of the year for this to not make it on my AOTY list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=540tV4iY-GM https://open.spotify.com/album/0G414XZEb2T9TCkLZcMfUB

They’re one of the most consistently great bands in metal ever and the entire genre is so bad. I mean I guess people like it but meh it’s not what I want from metal at all. Outside of Meshuggah! I remember hearing Dan Ozzi (he's a music writer if you're unfamiliar) talk about how he likes Turnstile and was happy for them having a big breakout but he wasn't looking forward to all the copycat bands because they wouldn't do it as well, and I feel like this is a problem with most genres

That’s sort of how I feel about Quicksand, they were ok but I didn’t need Turnstile that opinion comes from a very uninformed understanding of Turnstile

Does Loathe count, because I like them. Outside of Meshuggah-their guitarist put out a record I'm a fan of...I guess Animals as Leaders...The Contortionist...yeah that's about it.

You always have this problem with a groundbreaking band that effectively changes the conversation. By the time djent became a thing, Meshuggah had put out four or five albums which had definitively put them heaps ahead of where the also-rans were. Seriously. Chaosphere has the raw aggression and abstraction, Nothing has the weird vibes and playing with melodicism, Destroy Erase Improve has the most unalloyed meathead bluntness, Contradictions Collapse is closer to its progenetors but still has a lot of sharp songwriting and mastery evident. I feel like it’s expectations that kneecap those second-string bands. Everyone wants more Meshuggah so hearing a million less inspired takes on the vibe rings a bit hollow. But like Meshuggah is a once in a generation type of band. Nobody has or ever will match their distinct creative stamp so I hold the descendents to a lower standard cause it just isn’t realistic to expect them to live up to that sort of originality/creative restlessness. FWIW I think Tesseract is pretty good for being willing to go all-in on the melodic potential of djent. There are other people that do it, but they’re the modern equivalent of eighties shredders, all technical and no soul. DrObrero posted:Does Loathe count, because I like them. I don’t know whether I’d call them “djent” as such, but I feel like Loathe works in the form. Just feels a little far afield. More hardcore and melodic influences in their stuff. I like them too, as knuckle-draggy as they are they’ve got some good tricks and a solid ability to twist form around to suit their goals. Been listening to nothing but Tomb mold and Suffocation and Yob all weekend. Feels good. unattended spaghetti fucked around with this message at 18:29 on May 14, 2023 |

Varg posted:What are the good ones though? I always thought all djent was trying to copy Animals as Leaders but I don't know who the best of deathcore is supposed to be Exactly. I’d even say Meshuggah is only Djent in retrospect. I thought tech death when I first heard them. As far as deathcore goes, maybe Slaughter of the Soul or a more dm-leaning hardcore album.

Meshuggah are kind of their own thing. Djent took the guitar tone from them but Periphery and AAL are definitely a distinct kind of sound and most djent bands are operating in that milieu.

I would love to find other albums that sound and feel like All Pigs Must Die's God is War album. I've worn out the 0s and 1s on my copy. Their other albums, while I love and enjoy them, don't hit the same.

I've been going through their back catalogue off watching the new album singles on YouTube and I never realised the vocals and riffs were so varied and melodic in places. For some reason I always thought Cattle Decapitation were more grindy than they actually are and I'm digging it!

For some reason I always get Iced Earth and Nevermore confused. 'Cos when I saw that list of sadness of ex members I was thinking: "Didn't one of them get done for being part of the Jan 6 Riot?" but I was thinking of Schaffer in Iced Earth. What always gives me a giggle is when a band has an entire wikipedia page dedicated to the number of lineups a band has had...case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Iced_Earth_band_members It's fun because you look at who has been in the band the longest, and generally that person is the rear end in a top hat.

I remember them being a sort of bland tech death thing, then a bunch of lineup changes, then they were industrial/gothy/more proggy? Anytime there’s a big sound change and one stable member I always assume insufferable control freak at the helm.

Glad to see on Spotify that Dead Heart is the top release. I love The River Dragon Has Come. Those pinches, gently caress. On the topic of top releases, why in the blue gently caress is Symbol of Life the top Spotify release for Paradise Lost? Is there a secret cabal of hideous creatures that love that era? It’s awful. Spun Obsidian and Medusa recently and they’re so good. Really love how they’ve evolved over the years, failed electronic goth experimentation notwithstanding of course.

A while ago, someone posted a slam/brutal death metal video where the band had "realistic" lyrics, ie, snort, bleargh, beeeeee. I remember it started with a light intro with lyrics that were nonsense that Lewis Carroll might have written. "I am the gibberjamberjamb" or something like that. Anyone remember this vid and/or band?
