Almost every modern progressive metal band is now known as djent, because of it's writing style, some of them are pretty experimental like Jason Richardson for example.
Progressive Metal IS NOT SYNONYMOUS with Djent. There are so many newer modern Prog Metal bands that have nothing to do with Djent. Also, almost every Djent band could hardly be considered Prog Metal. When your music relies heavily in something like heavy, palm-muted, polyrhythmic riffing (which have been done to death and have already been played by thousands of bands in the last 20 years) you just can't call it Progressive Metal, because it's already overused. Prog is about pushing envelopes, not being comfortable with formulas. Although, some bands implement Djent-related shit with their Prog Metal. Like The Contortionist or Caligula's Horse. Jason Richardson is awesome, but haaardly experimental. He plays by the numbers. Super tight tho, probably one of the tightest guitarist right now, but his compositions are fairly standard in terms of modern Metal. I mean, most of his stuff is either Metalcore or Djent. Again, super tight, fast and technical but not pushing any single boundary. Owane or Jakub Zytecki are way more experimental, and even then I wouldn't say their music is experimental, as they are still within the confines of pre-established notions of genres (jazz, prog, rock, metal, etc).
I really like that the leads don't have to be these super fast, uber technical leads. Not that I don't enjoy an epic solo. But MDB leads are really their own. They have such a simple, melodic nature to them that are just so incredible.
It's 2021, 3 years late to the party, just discovering your music. The vibes that your composition is giving the listener is absolutely surreal. Beautifully done. Off to check out the rest of the discography
Ive been listening to this style of music for years and just recently gave mdb the chance and it was the best decision ive ever made I was looking so a band that sounded like this \m/ rock on . Barrack Obama
This is such a beautiful song. So many great elements. And I love the skervesen guitar they are really nice. Poland is killing it in the guitar game right now.
This is such a beautiful composition. I actually wrote my own lyrics to this song. And that skervesen is just gorgeous. Grown quite fond of the birds eye maple fret board. I can't figure out if that's a swan body or like a nebelung gorgeous anyway and beautiful song played on it. Perfect imo.
I love this a lot more than the last two tracks, which didn't really do too much for me, but now I think I'm gonna have to go back and listen to them again and make sure I wasn't wrong, because this is fucking STELLAR
Love the new album guys! Groove is on point Tone is on point, the atmosphere and ambience is beautiful! I do have one question, what's the tuning on this song?
Tomas + co have used quite a few tunings but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head F standard Drop Ab low F# Drop Ab low F Drop Ab low Eb Drop Eb this is all based on Travelers though
Ive noticed a lot of my favorite bands and players use guitars with fanned frets. Is there an advantage over a regular fretboard? Im trying to decide if I should get them on my next guitar.
Helps on the tension with extended range guitars. longer on the low end strings so they keep their tension/tone while its shorter on the high end for, i guess, normal tension.
It's the same principal as found in harps, grand pianos etc and between instruments with different ranges. A bass guitar has a longer scale length than a guitar, a violin has a shorter scale length than a cello and so on. It's applicable on any guitar but of most obvious benefit on an extended range instrument where it can help avoid dull overly thick bass strings without forcing you to use an ultra thin first string.
I find them perfectly playable as well, better if anything, didn't even need an adjustment period, but now there are some more readily available fanned fret guitars like the Ibanez ones it should be possible to try one yourself

This is not only my favorite song on the album, I think it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard! The harmony guitars are beautiful
Most underrated djent band
Yi Xiaomeng what's a the "djent"?
It's a metaphor and onomatopoeia for the low-pitch sound, it refers to a certain riff.
Almost every modern progressive metal band is now known as djent, because of it's writing style, some of them are pretty experimental like Jason Richardson for example.
Can't we just call this prog? Or will the metal elitists swarm?

0:54 Tosin would be proud
That was first thought too lmao
I seriously cannot pick a favorite song from Coma, each one touches my soul and stirs it in a way of its own.....such a beautiful album
I really like that the leads don't have to be these super fast, uber technical leads. Not that I don't enjoy an epic solo. But MDB leads are really their own. They have such a simple, melodic nature to them that are just so incredible.

Ive been listening to this style of music for years and just recently gave mdb the chance and it was the best decision ive ever made I was looking so a band that sounded like this
\m/ rock on . Barrack Obama
thanks man !
Few guitarists have as much a mastery of both lead and rhythm playing as you do.
Thank u !
This is such a beautiful song. So many great elements. And I love the skervesen guitar they are really nice. Poland is killing it in the guitar game right now.
This Album will be so cool !
I love everything ! Thanks for being one of my biggest inspiration
So far it sounds that 'Coma' might top 'Travelers'. That's fucking great guys, keep on great work!
1:00 My Ears are in heaven ~ so perfect!!
I love this song. Your music rocks me. I feel like you pour deep parts of your soul into everything you do. Keep at it. You're made for this and more.
This is such a beautiful composition. I actually wrote my own lyrics to this song. And that skervesen is just gorgeous. Grown quite fond of the birds eye maple fret board. I can't figure out if that's a swan body or like a nebelung gorgeous anyway and beautiful song played on it. Perfect imo.
It’s his own signature guitar from them
Idk if there still around anymore though
Psychedelic Jams! Love that maple fretboard
2:36 that low note is most welcome. Love that song, wish I could cover it but I just can't thump haha
1:57 is truly just something else
Digging those melodies and the guitar tones!
Incredible music!! Thank you!!
Ajalas rolita exacta para lokiar!
Ocean Atlas was solid but I have a feeling this album is gonna be another Travelers. Keep it up guys.
Good vibes, good tunes, can't wait till the whole thing drops.
finally see you in Berlin 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is making me want a skervesen raptor 8. And an axe fx. This sounds so killer.
I love this a lot more than the last two tracks, which didn't really do too much for me, but now I think I'm gonna have to go back and listen to them again and make sure I wasn't wrong, because this is fucking STELLAR
Come to Texas. Like move here lol 😂

Haven't gotten into the thumbing stuff yet, love the atmosphere though!

What ah Riff!!
Pretty great, do I hear a little Corelia influence in the leads?
I definitely need to get monies before the album drops.
That tone is undeniable ...its MDB bitches!!
I still worship MDB !!! :)
So at 1:14 it’s slap with a delay on it? I been trying to figure out how MDB get that sound in that rhythm section
its double thumb technique
Love the new album guys!
Groove is on point
Tone is on point, the atmosphere and ambience is beautiful!
I do have one question, what's the tuning on this song?
I want to see them live in Indian someday.
Favorited!
Do a guitar playthrough of timelapse.
everytime i listen this Avalanche comes to mind after 1:05 "cause im going out of frequency can anyone respond"
🤣🤣

so the lows aren't noodles and the highs don't kill your fingers

Thanks guys going to try it out once I get a chance.
So fuckin good
🔥
👍👍
Love it, whats the tuning man?
Mareo Eb Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
just a guess :3
Why do peoplee still not provide basic information like the tuning in the description of their playthrough videos.
its simple, people never read descriptions
I do. I just don't play the guitar.
well most people who want to know the tuning will check the despriction at some point. so ... whats the tuning?
Yeah what's the tuning :D I'm also curious
Figure it out yourself lol
耳が癒される_(:3 」∠)_
the thumping tone was weak tho
See you in Amsterdam you beautiful son of a bitch
