Anyways, can't wait to see Periphery again next week, 'tis going to own some face. I would love it if there was a chimp spanner/tesseract/periphery concert :3 maybe a few other bands too though... New Meshuggah is pretty good, though I don't like it as much as some other bands. Idk. I like stuff more like bands listed above or like The Human Abstract or Friend for a Foe. Still... it's a good album, I just don't know if it's great yet  | ||

I havent been to a good show in a really long time. And yeah if the 3 of them played in a show together, man that would be insane, although, i have to say, im preety dissapointed with Tesseract right now, I truly hate Elliott's voice, and their next EP is basically just re-hashing their old songs but with a new vocalist, with only a few new tunes, i mean i dont wanna a hater, but seriously Elliott's voice does not suite Tesserract at all IMO. As for Meshuggah's album, after listening the passed week or two everyday, its growing on me quite a bit. I think its a good follow up to Obzen in the sense that it's a clear progression from that album, alot slower, but clearly the direction their headed is unlike the other bands in the scene IMO. Meshuggah never ceases to amaze me, its just unfortunate that for me, Chaosphere is probably my favorite album of all time, so i dont see them topping that album ever, and no band out there right now will ever top Meshuggah's best days in music writing. And thinking of it, Chaosphere is over 10 years ago, thats insane to think about that its taking bands so long to even try to come remotely close to them over the years. Anways /end Meshuggah rant. And o shit, got-djent just posted Meshuggahs new music video! what good timing after i spent all that time talking about them rofl. | ||

You guys should check out their full length album "Februus". It's mind-blowingly good. EDIT: One of the guitarists in Uneven Structure has kind of a solo project which goes under the name "Eggeh" Also worth checking out!! | ||

Man Rock band should just not have ghost notes whatsoever, they dont work in a music video game at all, the whole point is to barely hit the snare at all, and just kind of feel it, yet since the game only uses on/off switches it just sounds terrible, yeah im a drummer so that shit pisses me off rofl. cool video tho, cool to see real music in rock band.

And funny you mentioned that side project, cause heres another from the lead Guitarist if im not mistaken, its beautiful to say the least. And on the topic of ghost notes i mentioned, Periphery's drummer had a sick session in the middle of SXSW, just him playing drums in the street, the man loves his ghost notes, there all over the place. love it! | ||

Cardona! - debut release from some seriously fucking talented guys. http://cardona.bandcamp.com/album/seasons Memoirs - debut single from intercontinental group (2nd and 3rd songs are vastly superior to 1st one) http://memoirsofficial.bandcamp.com/album/we-fall-apart-single Skyharbor - (formally Hydrodjent - indian guitarists project ft. dan tompkins/marty friedman + others) The Algorithm - jazz infused Djent electronica (720p this or it sounds like shit) New Jeff Loomis album - so fucking groovy and sick, get it! Circles - Australian djent progmetal ftw Haunted Shores ft. elliot coleman - including this to show people elliots vocal range (and I believe when it comes to the studio tesseract could be pretty amazing with him) | ||

Basically, I want music that is sharp, abrasive, and disturbingly complex, in order to stay interested and focused. Only Meshuggah delivers. (As well as a plethora of electronic musicians like Venetian Snares.) | ||

It ended up bringing me bands like Battles, Dillinger Escape Plan and Gojira, who certainly make music I enjoy, but nothing quite like the venerable Meshuggah. I'll make sure to listen to these songs when I have better connectivity. Basically, I want music that is sharp, abrasive, and disturbingly complex, in order to stay interested and focused. Only Meshuggah delivers. (As well as a plethora of electronic musicians like Venetian Snares.) Well this thread is the right place to go, if your looking for the really complex stuff, yes Meshuggah is #1 essentially, but some other bands ive found to be almost on par are the following: and frankly if you havent heard Pi from After the Burial, than you should probly load that up right now. Hmmm, now that i think about it, preety much every band in this thread is brilliant in some way or another, Meshuggah does have a way of making there songs flow unlike some other bands, but im hooked on every band in here, have like 10Gb of Djent and i listen to it everyday and never get bored. well enjoy friend. | ||

Sure it's hard to play, but to my ears it sounds more like a mathematical experiment then music to be honest... Ah well, as long as they are having fun. And just to not be the complete pessimistic retard that doesnt contribute: düreforsög; the masters of weird off beat metal polka. | ||

Yeah its a waste of a music video IMO, and the song itself is one my least favorite from the album as well. Still not sold on Koloss yet, i still find myself going back to Chaosphere everyday. | ||

There is care for melody in some stuff, but djent is definitely more about the rhythmic aspects of music. But it's more than just math, there's a specific sound that djent guitars have (hence where the term came from), and all-in-all it's just very percussive music with lots of grooves more so than melodies. I mean if you listen to Icarus Lives! by periphery, it's not a math intensive song. 4/4 with just some syncopation and lots of riffage. It's not like they sit down and write out math problems and then play them, they write songs the same way anybody else does, they just try to do it in a more creative, percussive, and groovy way than most music is. | ||

Then i meight have been a bit fast on the trigger (tho i did listen to 10 or so songs from the thread before posting.) That's got lots more melody then any of the others i heard. Albeit it does sound like a completely different genre, sounds like pink floyd meets dream theater... But, he's not playing an 8 string tho ? a normal guitar dropped to F# ? Corelia is a pretty cool mix of new and old school heavy... But again sounds alot more like normal heavy then most of the other things i found in this thread.

Listened to the song, interesting tune. But once again that sounds like a completely different genre then most of the others i heard in this thread, sounded more like a "normal" heavy band with more of a rhythmic focus. Maybe this djent thing is a fair bit bigger of a genre then i thought, guess i'll listen to some more music from the thread. | ||
