Djent is used to describe a certain kind of guitar tone characterized by medium-high gain, a quick-release noise gate to emphasize staccato playing, a cut of most bass below 200Hz for a tight low end, a slight boost around 800hz for clarity, and a noticeable boost around 1.6Khz to emphasize pick attack. When a two-octave power chord is palm-muted with this tone, a "djent" sound is created rather than the typical chunkier sound.

@cornellred whoa. i've been a huge fan of meshuggah for 10 years. Never heard the term, nor something quite so detailed when it came to describing a guitar sound. just read the wikipedia page. "It is believed to have been coined by Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares and is generally considered to have been made popular by Frederick Thodendal of Meshuggah." Kinda laughable. Sounds like METAL to me. Downtuned, 7 string (or 8 string) metal. maybe extreme metal. Probably a joke at first.

Djent is widely acknowledged to have come first from Meshuggah, but Misha 'Bulb' Mansoor has arguably popularized the sound. Djent's typical uses give rise to a "genre" of djent that is characterized by hi-fi compressed production, polyrhythmic/staccato distorted riffs and ambient clean passages which make liberal use of 9 and other "jazzy" chords. Electronica influences such as glitchy percussion and synthesizers are also incorporated.

@WryMann noo djent is a genere of the music what meshuggah played:)

cornellred 9 months ago

@cornellred Actually Djentstep has been around for a while. Djent isn't necessarily a genre, but more so a tone achieved by extremely low tuned guitars and offbeat rhythms.

Hey! Could you remake that video using the remastered version of Nothing? I think it has a better sound!

Awesome work btw, I was very skeptical at the beginning, then got stunned. I think the band guys would like that!

Riven1989 10 months ago 4

@Riven1989 I checked out the re-mastered (and somewhat re-recorded) version of Nothing. I wasn't impressed. I prefer the original mix. especially the guitar tones. Clearly, we know what the band prefers. the re-mastered version. otherwise, they wouldn't have done it. to me, the original has a special character and aggression that got lost on the remaster.

WryMann 10 months ago 9

@WryMann So true about the character and aggression, the new one, though cleaner, sounds too plasticy. Btw nice remix.

DillingerEscapeMan 8 months ago

@WryMann I very much agree, although the re master is a better 'master', louder and phatter, I've checked it on a bunch of sweet monitors, but the drum sound on the old Nothing is way more brutal, and just has a lot more feeling. And I was listening to the re-master first. cleaner doesn't mean better:)

yanchesanchez 7 months ago

@WryMann I agree, this is coming from an experienced guitarist and huge Meshuggah fan. The original version is the better one.

@WryMann I agree. Although I love the 8-string sound, the original 7-string with the REAL drums on the original has the original meaning of aggression to it. The re-master as a tad cleaner, notably in the into of Stengah (Compare them and see for yourself). I like both; and this was a pretty nice cut you made out of Rational Gaze. <3

TheRobb573 5 months ago

@TheRobb573 I just compared the 2 versions of Stengah. You're right, the remaster is cleaner. I still prefer the original release.

@WryMann Or you can just enjoy...both? I have both Nothing albums on my MP3. Love both. Different feel.

pdblouin33 3 months ago

@WryMann i dont agree BUT to each their own. i LOVE the remastered version, even though the original was brutal, re-recording it with their 8-strings (and 5 string bass) made it sound even heavier and deeper, great production.

taysomeday 11 months ago

OK first off, Obzen was one of the most fucking original albums ever produced. just because you didnt take the time to TRULY listen to it doesnt make it ok to say otherwise.

go home, shut the world out and fucking listen to dancers. maybe even pull up the lyrics so you can actually here what they have to say.

meshuggah is and always be the best metal band of all time.

so

fuck off.

taysomeday 11 months ago 3

@taysomeday ATTACK! since my opinion differs than yours... FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!. haha no, not really. Relax dude. you act as if i hate Meshuggah. i love them! I listened to Obzen 3 or 4 times all the way through. there's only 2 stand out tracks on the record. To me, Nothing and Catch 33 are superior records. And most people I know agree. Meshuggah best metal band of all time... well, maybe. They are amazing. But "metal" is a very very broad genre with tons of subgenres.

WryMann 11 months ago

@WryMann I'm with you on that mate, Catch33 and Nothing are miles ahead of ObZen for me. Anyway, love the remix, seriously awesome. Great job!

TheModCon 10 months ago

@taysomeday There is something to be said for music that is accessible and fresh from the first listen. I think the best writing happens when a person writes a riff or a passage and thinks 'when the crowd hears this they will feel a certain way or will react a certain way'. I don't knock Obzen because it has some great tracks. And I agree that there is interesting thought put into the patterns; but I had to listen for months and write these things down to really get the gist of what they did

Veredika 10 months ago

@Veredika meshuggah just clicks after a while so once youve got it youve got it. Bleed's riff and many others wouldve been written just as you described, with them discovering it as much as the listener does. Its just a non-linear approach to rhythm that sounds epic once you can hear it.

@BlisteringDDj they switch time signiatures a lot, not all of meshuggah is just polyrhythms and metrics they do some crazy shit

6stringedkiller 1 year ago

@BlisteringDDj they are all over the map. sometimes straight 4/4. sometimes polyrhythms. sometimes a distinctive 5/4 that can't be forced into a 4/4 mindset. 6/4. patterns of 13, 11, 17, 19.

The fact that Meshuggah mainly writes in 4/4 makes their music perfect for this...

@sLObZenOnMyNObzen A person like you would say that, Mr. Slobzen! Do you really like the latest record that much? I feel like Bleed and the 1st track were the only ones truly worthy. they need to come up with some new ideas so that the rest of the world's metal bands have something new to rip off.

WryMann 11 months ago

@WryMann A person like me would say that....what do mean? Obzen was an amazing record btw but, my fav is still Catch 33. Meshuggah will probably come up with something new and like before everyone will copy off of them in some sort of way. They're just that fucking influential!

sLObZenOnMyNObzen 11 months ago

@sLObZenOnMyNObzen I was just ribbing you about your screenname. I think Obzen was a mediocre record, except 2 tracks. Catch 33, Nothing, and early Meshuggah works are all much better records. more cohesive. more innovative. And yes, we're on the same page! you heard the most recent Deftones record? fuck... Stephan Carpenter has admitted a million times how much he loves Meshuggah over the past decade, but he should be giving them some publishing at this point.
