At spirit of metal they're classified as prog metal, is that true? From what I've heard(on YouTube over the past couple of minutes) they don't sound very progy.

I rather like the founders of djent like Meshuggah and Fredrik Thordendal. Spacey, odd shifting experimental music with more groove than you can shake a stick at.

I can't say I care for what djent has turned into such as Periphery and vildhjarta, where the riffs have been made into a more catchy accessible format and it's closer to alternative or post hardcore than actual metal. I find the post-hardcore elements in these bands extremely annoying and I don't think the mix works well.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Ah gotta love them djent-ers. From Periphery to Meshuggah, that style is extremely unique and refreshing amongst the now "standard" prog metal that was refreshing in the 90s. Always good to hear experimentation. Thumbs Up

And UMUR: Djent is a style of heavy metal that utilizes heavily downtuned or 7- and 8-string guitars with boosted mids and a lot of bending to make an "up down" kind of metal riff. Example:

I�m still not familiar enough with the term Djent to comment. Anyone who can give a good explanation to what Djent is?

I'm not very familiar with the style (most of the bands that use extensive djent riffing aren't my cup of tea, so to speak), but I do enjoy bands like Meshuggah from time to time. Thumbs Up
