Listening to it right now actually, im sord of mixed in my opinion of the album so far. Its far too short for my liking, specially considering the song eclipse to me is just boring. I love the mixing, as is standard with Misha producing, still a good album, the breakdowns that are there are amazing, but theres just not enough of them, not enough songs. Its made me go back and listen to there old albums, and i realize they are all great, but actually i think their 1st album is my favorite. Still, its better than 99% of the garbage music that comes out these days, and still an enjoyable album, albeit, only for like 30 mins or w/e.

Not a big fan of their stuff, however this album is much better than their older ones from what I can tell. I heard that [id] had a shit production

lol yeah [id] sounded preety bad production wise, but its such a great album, with some stupidly complex rythms in some songs. Actually both there 1st and 2nd album kinda sounded like crap, but its still plenty good enough to enjoy their talents.
I think the thing I wanted to hear from VoM was the groove (evident in periphery and AAL first album). Honestly, after being a huge fan of death metal, deathcore, etc. I can't seem to go back after Periphery/AAL. And as groovy as the riffs are, its really the drums that makes it such a joy to listen to (cant go back to blast beats anymore). I don't think ive ever enjoyed entire albums for this long
top notch song from a sick up and coming brit band, the singer is the old one from sylosis (no coincidence they sound trash now the lead guitarist has taken over vocals) and the drummer is the drummer from fellsilent (acle kahney from tesseracts old band)

Haha Meshuggah of course, it is implied in this thread. I don't really know what to think of their new album yet (obZen was sick). Im sure ill delve even deeper into Meshuggah once I get an 8-string guitar to be able to play their stuff.
Hm this is interesting, lot of mellow stuff intertwined in their songs, i like very much, gunna look for this album right now! thanks for sharing. And on the topic of some more unknown bands, anyone listened to Synthetic Breed? or WorC? Worc is a solo project from the guitarist of Uneven Structure. Both awesome stuff!

EDIT:! So I googled it and it seems meshugga wanted their own genre.... lol XD
I think you are mistaken, Meshuggah is the definition of independant IMO. Theyve always said, they are making music they want to make, they dont care what the fans want, or what genre people lump them into, they just make music they love themselves. Also, read the OP, the whole thing, and you can get an idea of what Djent is. Its another form of metal i guess, that doesn have to have blast beats and solos! rofl. seriously tho i fucking hate blast beats.
Fair game...to me it just...just seems overly silly adding yet another term to something that is already well defined... just my 2c Anyway carry on, fine sirs!

No worries! i hate arguing about it, but this thread was the best way to spread the word about these sounding bands, and ive learned alot in this thread, and got tonnes of new music because of it. so lets not argue, lets just enjoy us some music! muaha

Yup, unfortunately theres no real way around it. I mean, when i go to the "death metal thread", or the "metal thread", i serioulsy cannot stand the bands in those threads, so i dont feel comfortable telling people i listen to Metal, since people who like Metal, generally assume i like all those generic bands like Trivium, All that remains, etc. So its either call this Tech Metal? or Math Metal maybe? but thats the same problem, just more and more sub-genre's, so i just call this Djent, since it doesnt have the word Metal in it, and people who know what Djent is can sord of get a grasp of what bands they are talking about. Its all a bit ridiculous, but thats life!
Guess whos listening to new Mesghuggah!!! me!! right now!!!!! not done it yet, so saving my judgement til ive listend to it 100 times. But man the guitars sound so like, heavy! or dark! or something! its crazy! anwaysy heres a teaser for you guys,
