Actually yeah, Intronaut has somewhat of a djenty tone in their latest, but stylistically it's not.

Yes Caio, groove is very important.  And Ron Jarzombek is pretty awesome, I'm friends with him on Facebook.

Animals as Leader f*cking rule, but you guys are all sick of me worshipping them so I'll just leave it at that.

And Colin's right, for djent you pretty much need 7 or 8 string guitars and EMGs or Blackout pups.

I have no idea about tech stuff so I don't know what this means. I guess it's the same sound Colin was mentioning in his post.

Whenever I got examples of djent, the music was similar in style, so I assumed it's a style (with that kind of riffing as the main element).


well, to get that sound, you need, basically, EMG pickups, downtuned (or 7 or 8-string) guitars, and heavy palm-muting, which basically limits what your songs can sound like

Don't forget the GROOVE Kevin. That's important too.

About Blotted Science, that's because of the guitarrist. The guy is a mega technical freak. He is one of the founding members of Watchtower, so he is one of the forefathers of both technical and extreme metal. Impressive how 20 years later he is still alive and kicking!

They are one of the essential bands of the tech/extreme scene. But djent does not equal extreme technical metal. Djent are those bands who emphasize crazy riffing, while Blotted Science emphasize variation and intricacies. Cloudkicker is somewhere in between (and not that heavy either).


naw, djent refers to the guitar sound, not so much the style (although playing style does closely relate to getting a djent sound)

it's that ssshhhlugh sort of thing that Meshuggah do, and, indeed, what all of Cloudkicker's guitar sounds like

How did I miss this thread?

Yeah, Blotted Science aren't djent.  They have some math metal-ish elements but as a whole are not.

Djent is pretty much characterized by the timbre of low-tuned guitars, in addition to heavy math metal/electronic elements and clean production values.

Yes I agree.I prefer more Cloudkicker than Blotted science.

I don't find Cloudkicker to be djent, at least he sound completely different to the bands I mentioned above. I do like him, but I think he's rather cloudcore than djent.


Cloudkicker is very good band.And they are djent.Look at this site:http://got-djent.com/


Hmm, those guys have a pretty lax definition of djent. They even have Blotted Science there, which is the opposite of djent.
