Prog Metal / Djent Thread

Any fellow cyclists out there who also like listening to / creating modern prog metal / djent tunes?

Is this too niche for it's own dedicated thread?

Let's find out!

Here's one I made earlier:

Post what you're listening to whilst skidding through the infinite time-signature cosmos.

Top of the food chain:

Meshuggah - Rational Gaze (remastered) - YouTube

Some stuff is in a pipeline that I'm loosely involved with. Bassist/writer is a rider but unsure if he's on here. Drum tracking starts soon

you should check out will haven, sort of djentish but predates it

Will Haven - London March 2006 - Dolph Lundgren Encore - YouTube

Love Will Haven - fave band are deftones, who used to tour with them a lot. Carpe Diem!!

I hate that Djent and Prog Metal are now considered the same thing. I love a bit of Meshuggah and I love a bit of psyche metal, but never the twain shall they meet in my book.

This was my old prog metal band. Now that's prog metal your milkman can whistle.

Ah, the endless debate on who or what is djent and who is ripping off who. I like it but it kind of blew up massively and then became immediately samey, it went full retard. All sounds like Sikth anyway.

Also, Miocene! That's a blast from the past. Good call.

What the Fuck is djent?
Also go listen to ion dissonance.

What the fuck is this shit doing in General? A pox on your ship and all who sail her.

I thought this was in Misc.

It is now.

merges with hiphop thread for laughs

Animals As Leaders - Lippincott - YouTube

Nice one James.
I myself like to listen to more "classic" prog metal.
Favourite at the moment: Opeth
But I like Between the Buried and Me also, which should be the "youngest" band on my list..

Animals as Leaders is proper crazy. Love it. ;)

Edit: After listening to your stuff on soundcloud: Love it. Only thing I dislike with djent is the sound of the ultra-low tuned guitars. Love the composition though.

Cheers! It took a fair while to get from 6 to 8-string, but I'm loving it. Kind of hard to make any bass lines stand out though! Between the Buried and Me are great - get better with each album.

How about this to start the weekend ;-)
