For sure,djent is an amazing genre of metal.But as you say you are big into it for a while and then you leave from there.Canvas solaris is great band.When you say coprofago you mean the technical death/thrash metal band from Chile,right?) Yes indeed. Make sure you throw the words jazz or fusion somewhere in the description. At least for Unorthodox Creative Criteria

Yes,do you want to vote to my Skagos poll and to my other polls?

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. Very loose. Even Canvas Solaris is there.

Alex, listen to Meshuggah's "Closed Eye Visuals" is the best example I can give straight off the bat.  The guitars make a very noticeable "djun DJEN djun djun DJENT djun djun DJENT" kind of noise.  That guitar tone is djent, and that word itself is just onomatopoeia for that signature sound.  That's the thing all djent bands share in common.

I, personally, don't think so. Gorguts did used a lot of distortion and sounds that would be later used by the post thrash metal bands (AKA djen bands), but I don't think they are related.

I could be wrong in that matter, since those are not my favorite bands, with the exception of Meshugga, but AFAIK they don't have any correlation.

I have quite some expectations from them, so this is good news! this for sure should be in PA, I think It's pretty heavy, as in like, ponderous, not as in like metal

You make me drool, ok I'll give it a listen when I'm done with cleaning the fishtank.

Sure.But it has the djent element.

(off topic) Alex did you listen to Extinction Algorithm's full-length yet?  I'm listening right now, it's pretty cool

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

This is even less helpful
