Meshuggah is terrific and br00tal.

Also, inb4 thread is deleted due to sharing site in the OP.

Kevin hates djent. He can't go one second without talking about how it's his least-favorite musical genre.

But yes, djent is awesome.

I really dig Cloudkicker's The Discovery...which is free!

Animals as Leaders is a must for all metal fans, though it is Djent-related rather than true symphonic djent.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Haken's "Aquarius" has some djenty tones during the metal sections.

And everyone must check out Fredrik Thordendal's solo album (Yeah, Meshuggah's lead guitarist) called "Sol Niger Within". It's Meshuggah + avant jazz.

These are the two bands I've recently checked out, both excellent. Though I have Beacons from Cloudkicker, I'll have to check out the rest of their discog.

By the by, Cloudkicker's bandcamp page is pretty much my ideal for obtaining music - name your own price for downloads in almost any format you like (including FLAC), $10 for a physical CD. Just awesome.

Yep, I am here.

Animals as Leaders do djent best: not full out but use it enough as a flavoring to make their songs taste more excellent.

Cloudkicker is also absolutely incredible, though he's straying away from traditional djent stuff into more of his own shindig.

Other musts for fans of the genre are Periphery, TesseracT, and Chimp Spanner. Meshuggah needs no mention Tongue

I'll make sure to drop by with some other smaller djent bands I know of too.

I do like Amimals as Leaders. Good band.

Am I correct in saying Djent is drop G tuning, or have I been misinformed?

First,I hadn't created a poll.I had created a topic.Secondly,actually Djent is a metal sub-genre,not a prog sub-genre(I know that there are Djent bands here.These bands are progressive Djent metal).That's why my poll there's in General music discussions and not here.

Djent isn't limited to a certain kind of tuning but moreso the timbre of the guitar. It's sort of an onomatopoeia for the guitar's signature sound.

Here's the example I always use: listen to the opening seconds of this song, that particular tone is djent.
