    The way Tosin is dressed as the Principal is just the way I feel like he dresses in his everyday life. Like to go grocery shopping. Classiest guitar player alive.

      Imagine some science fiction dungeon crawling game with various djent artists for the soundtrack. This is like the normal moving around one. If combat hits then it switches to something like Periphery. In a cutscene, invoking feelings of wonder would be easy with a band like ERRA. Feelings of intensity? Architects, Thornhill, Northlane. Want some horror? Loathe or Polaris would do the trick. So many possibilities...

      @AlexLococo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      +Filip Pandrc It's just that djent is generally so unoriginal that most prog fans dislike bands that barely fit into the definition to be asociated with "djent". Yeah, it has polyrythms and polywhatever shit, but it doesn't have any of the unoriginal, and frankly, annoying discrepancies of the clean, screamed, and auto-tune vocals, along with those boring-ass riffs. Tesserac and Periphery are a-ok, seeing how they invented the sound, but all the low-quality copy-cats really dominate the "genere". For my part, I'd like to pretend that those bands don't exist, so Tesseract and Periphery are some Meshuggah-influenced mathcore bands. It's not the djent community rejecting AAL, it's the prog comunity rejecting the djent label.

    Usually you hear a band with all instrumentals like Angel Vivaldi and you're like "needs vocals." But this... this is just perfect. Unless they can find a vocalist as talented as them, who can match what the lead guitarist does, they should stay this way. But, can someone explain to me how this is Djent? I might be ignorant but djent is slower and contains a lot of power cords 'chopped up' in the studio. And this is mostly just jazzy riffing

    • @metalheadsolid2668
      @metalheadsolid2668 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Well, djent was born as a metal subgenre but during the years i think it started to became a whole genre on its own.
      Now djent has basically a lot of different subgenres, depending on the band style.
      Animals as leaders are more kind of progressive, Veil of Maya is more likely metalcore.
      I don't know, it's actually a bit confusing how djent works😅😅😅

    • @sillypickle9662

      Their main genre isn’t djent, it’s prog. Although it has elements of djent, like playing on a (I think) 8 string guitar. This is a bad example but they do also have some songs with a lot of 0s and 1s so obviously it’s not meshugga djent but it is a type of djent
