Holy shit, how have I never heard this band before? Amazing, thank you so much!
Well frankly this thread has tonnes of amazing shit that no one is listening to, which is a real shame, there are some seriously talented people working theire butts off making so crazy good music, all check out the top 20 i made, theres music there to keep you going for months.
I'm really excited for this! I loved loved loved A Common Man's Collapse but couldn't get into [id]. Production sounds 10x better than [id] already.
I also checked out Ever Forthright a while ago but I really don't like em. They're really similar to Periphery (who I do like), but for some reason their songs bore me. I think it's mainly the guitar work which sounds the same everywhere and doesn't really have exciting parts.
pre-ordered the bundle already. MISHA IS PRODUCING IT TOO ^^
OOO MYYYY GODDDD!!! thats the 2nd best news ive heard for this coming year, 1st being none other than Meshuggah releaseing a new album in march of course! man this year will be preety great for us wont it!

Opening track must be imba
Dude this is going to be greatest year ever!!! i love Meshuggah so damn much!!! i cant express my happinnes and anxiousness to get this album, i really hope they release a song of some sort, i always love hearing which direction the album is going, as well as how they are going to mix it. Obzen had some brilliant mixing IMO, the drums were actually perfection to me.
In the spirit of Meshuggah, how bout......some Messhuggah! covered by Misha Mansoor! i just love the rythms and guitar going on here.
Veil of Maya's new album preview is out. And OMG! it sounds like its going to be the best album of the year *behind Meshuggah of course*. yes its too early to tell, but holy shit im impressed, cant wait til the 28th.
Veil of Maya's new one is ok. Its still got Marc's signature style all over it but with Misha producing it sounds exactly like Periphery in that department. Probably the weakest of all their albums, not by much though, its a solid 7/10.

I actually love the sound direction right now, in terms of mixing anyways, Periphery is good and all, they arent my favorite band, but i really feel like Misha has a great way of mixing, sound is really great IMO, sounds so clean! And i think ID is an amazing album regardless of the mixing, but like i say, really like Misha's way of getting these awesome tones and clean sounding instruments, specially the drums, mmm love me them drums.
Skyharbor's debut, blinding white noise (ft. daniel tompkins and marty friedman) is really damn fucking good. Think TesseracT's One without the wishy-washy production quality.

What's wishy-washy about Tesseract's production?
Yeah, what the hell lol Tesseract has fantastic mixing and quality. Not to mention one of the best albums ever made! but will be checking out Skyharbor fo sho. god i love music so much!

To me at least, its missing the raw energy of what made them so popular in the first place. If you track down some demo's of original recordings of nascent, lament, acceptance, they were so incredibly energetic and felt like they were channeling such power in their performance. But with One, they sort of drowned everything out with ambience and clean guitars/vocals.
Not saying I dont absolutely adore dan's vocals, but I felt they let the ball drop a fair amount, making the album pretty disappointing for fans who had been listening to the songs for years.

Some of it does i agree, some Meshuggah stuff, especially the older stuff is kinda metal. But frankly, i FEEL a difference more than i hear it. That is to say, rythms can keep going even when they finish a bar, so things kinda FEEL weird, until you listen to enough, and it starts to feel good. lol im not kidding either, hearing/feeling this music is much different than regular metal. Keep listening tho!!
They sound the same, and this is coming from a guitar player and a fan ^_^
Is it wrong to argue that djent is simply more complex? cause there is something about it that makes it harder to play, im also a drummer, and tho they are similar, like i said, they feel different, and are certainly harder to play, on drums at least. Speed metal for example is preety straight forward for drums, but not this, lol i have to listen to it a lot to figure out some parts.
I'm a fan of djent but this really depends on the type of metal. Progressive metal generally includes a lot of polyrhythms and variety in their music, and technical death metal is straight up the most complex form of metal there is both rhythmically and harmonically.
