Djent

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Listen to the album "Nothing" by Meshuggah. 

That riff, uber heavy that sounds like it is "falling" is djent. 
And it's not a genre, most "djent" bands are some type of core or prog metal band and they tend to suck. Though it's cool sounding if used occasionally.

	Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan

	It's technically not a genre, but a guitar tone. It is typically used with thrashy progressive metal though maybe check out this thread: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1440

	I just learned that there is a Metal sub-genre called Djent. Can anyone give me a definition of this genre and maybe you can post bands that play this form of Metal.
