I've been watching this thread go down the crapper lately.  Djent?  Really?  That style has had it's day imo.  After hundreds of bands start playing a style, it can get watered down... Even the mighty and over-rated Meshuggah is monochromatic to me...Y'all need to start a Meshuggah appreciation thread by itself.  And I thought this thread was supposed to be about technical and extreme prog metal....  LOLWink

I suppose it would not hurt to contribute to the thread... Wink

If you like Ved Buens Ende/Virus, I highly recommend Yurei:

http://www.myspace.com/bjeima

also, Ehnahre (feat. ex members of Kayo Dot) has a new album out.  They are certainly not for everyone, but VERY, VERY few metal and extreme bands write true 12 tone metal with an experimental bent.  Worship or detest, they are doing something interesting:

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540262908

http://www.myspace.com/ehnahremetal

these two and the new DSO and perhaps the new Drottnar and Virus albums are the most worthwhile discs to come out as of late....

Who's heard the new Agalloch album "Marrow of the Spirit? pretty damn good I think, although I don't believe it matches the perfect amazingness of their other albums, maybe it'll grow on me more Idk lol

I love Marrow of the spirit, after almost two months of listening to it now, its lost the shock value and i know that the mantle is better, but it is for the most part, a very strong piece of work.

In response to the djent thing,
I've been really big into djent scene recently (hell, I bought an 8 string two months ago) and I agree, the genre is being done to death.  Being involved in it and seeing lots of new bands come and try to rise, very few have much distinction or really bring anything new to the table, with maybe the exception of TesseracT.
While Periphery and Meshuggah show that they can kick serious ass doing all djent stuff, I think Animals as Leaders has shown that djent works best as moreso of a seasoning, or a little flavor to add every so often.  Really that's what I plan on doing when I start writing music as well.

1)Do you have myspace page or something else to hear your compositions?

2)Congratulations for your 8-string guitar!(Is it Ibanez?)

3)If you remember,I had created a poll about Djent(there is in General music discussions).I had said that when a kind of music starts to become bigger will exist bands that will not be so worthy.Unfortunately,it's logical and normal.

1. Nah, I've not recorded anything yet as I don't have a good rig, though that may change.

2. It's a Schecter Damien Elite 8.  I may look at an Ibanez for my next 8.

3. I remember, yes.  I'm pretty sure I contributed.

If you go to Suggest new bands(4th page),you will see Katatura.It's a band that I had suggested to the members to hear.Check it out if you want.I think that is a good band from Djent.

2)Nice!
