This shit is super popular around here (locally, where I live) and it sucks. I needed a place to talk shit because there are a lot of people that dig it here (again, locally). Then again, maybe it's popular round these parts as I'm fairly removed from metal as a whole at this point. So, what are your guys' thoughts on this musical abortion?
This. All these faggot motherfuckers trying to take something good and making complete and utter GARBAGE out of it. What else is new? uke:
I also hate how death metal is all about playing lightspeed and sweeping and picking as fast as humanly possible. Good god, write good songs! when I listen to dm I want catchy and kickass riffs! Not arpeggio after arpeggio Another gay ass thing that is starting up is the use of 8 string guitars. fucking stop!!!
I heard this band on SiriusXM when I was driving with a friend. I'm always amazed when fairly competent musicians can put so much effort into writing horrible music.
Djent is a good method to sort the wheat from the chaff at social happenings. "- Ah, you're into metal? Interesting... What bands do you favour, my good sir? - You know, I'm really into this djent thing..." *moves to the hot bint at the other end of the buffet*
yes, it does it's not the only modern style of """metal""" that is absolutely inexplicably awful either try venturing into the andy sneap forum sometime (i love the forum for all the knowledge about mixing/production/recording the guys have, but their general taste in music is pretty bad – and that forum is the sole exposure i usually have to the "heavy" "music" the "kids" are "into" these days) and seeing what kind of music they're discussing like i mean holy shit who on wuotan's green earth thinks this is listenable, much less Good Music? note how the bass is actually PROGRAMMED pretty sure the drums are programmed too, if they're not then they're at least sample-replaced and quantized how the FUCK did it come to this
wow, even disregarding the fetid shitgarbage music, this is one of the worst mixes (or masterings, probably) i have ever heard listen to all that fucking compressor breathing this is also LITERALLY unlistenable, or at least verging on it it is audial torture i mean i can not actually, irl, stand listening to this for longer than about 10 seconds at a time
yeah fUck real death metal is made on 6-string guitars tuned to C or B and that's that fuck everything modern so fucking much
I was going to mention that, its kinda kinda funny though, djent for the most part is just heavier progressive metal.
metal-archives has a surprisingly good grasp on what's metal and what's not it's a very subtle distinction but you Feel it in your Heart if something is metal or not and i personally very rarely disagree with m-a
