This single one-man artist deserves more attention than this thread could possibly hope to give. Thank you so much for posting! | ||

Thank you so much for posting! no problem. you can download all of his albums/eps on his myspace for free. also, if you like cloudkicker, you might also like Chimp Spanner. same type of one man progressive type of deal. Chimp Spanner is really fantastic. heres another "djent" influenced band. breaks away from the chuggachuggachoochoo of meshuggah and most modern day djent and instead uses some jazz elements. 1980 - sagaie i'm just going to edit this post whenever i feel necessary to add in djenty bands that aren't a carbon copy of meshuggah. | ||

Their album is completely sick, I'm already in love with it. periphery is definitely not a carbon-copy of meshuggah. i didnt mention them because they were in the OP. i do love periphery, but their new album wasn't as good as it could have been. i miss their old drummer too much. | ||

Playing the riffs, it's not so bad. You just practice. WRITTING them is the hard part. To come up with that stuff, you have to be good. There's no other way. | ||

It is so ridiculously common in contemporary classical music to have things like this. I'm currently playing a 30 year old Toru Takemitsu duet with 5 on 3 on 2. Sure these guys are complex compared to the average pop scene, with its ubiquitous 4/4 patterns, but its really nothing special compared to even early 20th century music. I mean, they don't even use stuff like quarter tonality or play non melodic music. I mean, if they played in bohlen-pierce scales I would have shat my pants. This isn't anything like that. Fuck 4/4 anyway, play something in 5/8 even and I'll say its cool. Edit: oh ps, if they continually displace the 4/4 meter this is cross-rhythm not polyrhythm. | ||

 either music is getting shittier, I'm getting pickier, or my style is changing because the only song on this list I liked was Icarus Lives by Periphery. Everything else sucked in my opinion. Sorry haha | ||

I agree with Fontong though, Meshuggah isn't the most complex musical project of all time, but they at least are more complex then the average pop band  )Though, i want to say thanks to the OP for posting Animals as Leaders - some really great songs from Tosin Abasi - and he's ridiculously talented. Jesus, I don't even like shredding and this guy can tear it up (also nice to hear some of his jazz inspired licks as well, nice that he diversifies himself [being that he actually seems to be trained in music]) | ||

I really don't think they have anything to do in this thread, since they're not Djent... At all! On topic, I loved the OP. Have been a Meshuggah fan for a long time, and it's so nice hearing some youngsters (ehm, sort or) play inspired from them. I really like some of the stuff you've posted in the op, Periphery has a lovely mix between Protest the Hero and Meshuggah, and it works great! Thanks for inlightening me into this genre or whatever people want to call it. Btw, to people yelling about this not being the most technical or complex ever made, well, that's not why you should listen to music anyway. You should listen to music because you think it sounds awesome/ awakes some feelings of some sort and such. Liking music conceptually is stupid. | ||
