SIRENS EP
Here’s the thing about bare bones rhythm based djent, difficult as it may be, it’s about as fun as pinochle with gramma’s friends. On a larger scale, it garners the same kind of respect you give to that bro at the … Read the rest of this entry →
SHOULD DJENT ALWAYS HAVE RAPPING OVER IT?
At first glance it seems to be your run-of-the-mill djent band, guitars with like 27 strings, album cover with vague ethereal sci-fi imagery but no. Now, ya’ll know me, I’ve never hated on djent even if much of it sounds … Read the rest of this entry →
TUNED SOW LOW: NEW CARTHAGE SONG, ALMAH VIDEO
I’ve been STRUGGLIN with the content lately. Mostly because the real world is nasty biznatch of a ball and chain. Anywhoo, let’s hop right into some low tuned 7 and 8 string action from Carthage and Almah. ShareTweetFacebookLinkedInTumblrStumbleDiggDelicious
BREAKING: MESHUGGAH HAS WEIRD CAMERAS AND ABNORMALITY IS TAY BRUTES
Ok so, this may not be new exactly but I was pretty blown away by how good Abnormality is when I started spinning Contaminating the Hive Mind and was pretty surprised to find the vocalist to be a woman. Not only … Read the rest of this entry →
I’M WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS HAARP MACHINE VIDEO/ALBUM
It seems like more and more of these djenty proggy bands are reaching into spacey, almost psychadelic territory. With bands like The Haarp Machine and even Washington’s own Stealing Axion, it’s like modern progressive metal went on a payote trip where … Read the rest of this entry →

A.I.(d) WILL KICK YOUR SLACKER MIND IN THE JUNK
If you feel that you’re mind has had it easy lately and could use a good musical brainteaser, listen to A.I.(d). The newest track is called “Apocapilepsy” and couldn’t be a more fitting nomer for the band’s (?) mindfucking craft. It … Read the rest of this entry →

Go Prog Yourself With A Full Album Stream From Periphery
This really is not my chalice of mead but there is some respectable fretwork going on. Now, the bits of djenty Meshuggah worship with “emotive” vocals over the top, that I could do with out but, hey, most of my favorite … Read the rest of this entry →
Facemelting Playingthroughs From Chimp Spanner, God Forbid
I’m back from an epic bachelor party in Eastern Washington, mostly alive, with all limbs and digits still attached. Two gnarley playthroughs from Chimp Spanner and God Forbid are on the menu to start the day. Both bands will be on tour starting … Read the rest of this entry →
Cartoon Theory Remix Album, Almost Free
It seems like only yesterday that I received an email from French mult-instrumentalist Maxime Lathière about his Asian and cartoon inspired ambidjent project Cartoon Theory. From the artwork, you would expect something silly but the ambient, progressive music contained therein … Read the rest of this entry →
Ovid’s Withering: Oedipus Complex EP
Proggy proggy djent djent. Yet, still pretty enjoyable from my very esteemed perspective (that of a high society critic of course). Honestly, I’m trying to get into this stuff and am making a concentrated effort. Thankfully, with bands like Ovid’s … Read the rest of this entry →
Architects Video Awesome, Not Our Usual
Thing about the UK band Architects is I’m not sure if I’m into the semi-clean In Flames/Protest the Hero thing they have going on sometimes but the riffs are so well written that I’m willing to forgive it and rock … Read the rest of this entry →

A smaller label by the name of Swimming With Sharks is offering much of their music for almost free. Their arsenal consists of a variety of death metal, prog, djent, proggy deathcore, djethcore, progcore, djethdeth, and post-tech perwinklecore. I think … Read the rest of this entry →
Bands That Prove Djent Isn’t A Waste Of Time: Chimp Spanner
Once a week for about a month I’m going to try to briefly touch on bands that have softened my stance towards djent bands through their fancy bright album covers and purrty musics. Being long enlightened through the nice writings … Read the rest of this entry →
Progged Out, Djenty Fun: Videos From The Safety Fire And Akeldama
Sometimes a little wanking and pretentious math rhythms are good for you. Even if you don’t end up cutting your hair short, getting gauges and wearing graphic tees, a full conversion is not required. Sometimes it’s just good to shake … Read the rest of this entry →
Making A Meshuggah Of Things
Yeahhh, I dunno. I think I may have expected too much from Meshuggah on Koloss but the mid-paced grooves and lead guitar flurries are certainly welcome. Still, it honestly just makes me want to jam Lamb of God or Pantera … Read the rest of this entry →
God Forbid God Forbid Go Djent!
Every time I post about metalcore, I can feel my kvlt credibility bar shrinking. Think ‘spirit’ bar like on WCW/NWO Revenge. But we have to remember that the newer generation of metalheads and extreme metallers were enticed by metalcore as … Read the rest of this entry →
