Same here. Demiurge is definitely one of my favorite songs by them.D.o.S. wrote:Yowzer. Orange font.

I think they are just there for aesthetics and playing like it's a grandpa's guitarCorey Y wrote:Am I supposed to be playing all those skinny strings way at the end?
Please do that.ShaolinLambKiller wrote:ain't decided. I already have a 7 string set up with an extra high. so I might go on and take this 8 and set it up with the extra low and extra high. or maybe I'll do a band call the Djentist.
Pretty much.AxAxSxS wrote:It always comes around to whores and poop, doesn't it.

The best Meshugga thing I ever saw was a mash up with lady gaga. I think it got pulled from youbutholetube. I couldn't find it last time I looked. It ounded like someone really put some effort into it. Could have been composed that way to begin with.
Dan: Yes and no.... There are the sleep Matamp fanboys of course but just the fact that you can split the genre in to Doom and Sludge all ready offers a difference from Djent. Djent to me is like all the sleep fanboys creating their very own genre which they create a mold for and never break from. But its not just tone its the playing style too that they mimic.samzadgan wrote:I kinda agree and disagree...i think genres also are defined by the 'scenes' rather than the music itself which is more about the people that play the music and the fans and their way of life or outlook on life and music...its a combination of a bunch of things that define a genre.

edit: In fact, that's the way we often categorize genres in general. We associate guitar music with its affiliate guitar and tone. Death Metal is synonymous with Boss and Mesa/Boogie, just as country is with a Tele and a Twin.
Dude they do have some sick guitars, I'd love one of their iceman 8's but they are complete custom shops and impossible to get ahold of. They make a Japan custom shop version of the one I posted that is neck through and truly identical to the ones they actually use but it costs literally 8 grand..... I'll check out the swedebeast's here shortly.Iommic Pope wrote:I'm still catching up a bit after being sick at the start of the week, but that new whores track was badass.
The other thing I failed to mention before was how poon SLKs new 8 string looks. Fucking sweet dude.
I'll defend Meshuggah. I really don't give a shit if people don't think they arent doom enough or that whole " fuck djent" thing, whatever. They're a fucking awesome band that makes fucking awesome, heavy music. They're great live.
I know there are some other peeps in here that feel the same way about heavy stuff. Tempo is just a thing. Feels is where it's at.
Carnivorous, screaming, ambient dental drill, machine metal gets my feels.
Skip is right though, it's kinda stupid a whole bunch of bands sprung up around them.
Also, skip, get that ibanez. I posted one of the icemen Meshuggah had made for them a while back. On the page it was linked to there were a heap of their other customs from ibanez and a Swedish builder. Some very rad stuff on there indeed. All beautiful guitars with that same very simple aesthetic. Another reason I like those guys. They don't fuck around with shiht that looks flashy or "metal". They just punish.
Just google Meshuggah guitars skip and you should find it. (maybe you could get a Swedish custom built?)
Ryry, on the subject of machines making art, you should incorporate some of your power tools in the dungeon into some dangers field stuff.

Yeah Djent is a very specific style so I see what you mean here. Which is why I only listen to Meshuggah when it comes to djent, why fuck with anything but the best?Ancient Astronaught wrote: Dan: Yes and no....

Sam: I concur. There is more to a genre than just the music, but they seemed to create a stereotype and try to fit hard into it. It seems either all in or all out.
Oh, cool. I don't know much about Death Metal, to be honest.ShaolinLambKiller wrote:and to goldfish... death metal is summed up with JCM800... not MesaBoogie cause you listening to the wrong stuff then.

It's true that, in general, Djentleman WANT to be associated with a certain sect or group of musicians that all use Axe-FX, tubescreamers and Blackmachines, while Doom, Sludge, Stoner, they just play whatever makes them happy—except the few fanbois, like you say. But Djent is a sub-genre of Progressive Metal. It isn't really a genre at all. It's more of a sub-culture than anything, focusing on specific guitar-related details. Dillinger Escape Plan sound nothing like Periphery or Animals As Leaders, but there are definite crossovers, and the origins are similar. The endless over-edited videos of people playing 7 and 8-string guitars with super tight Axe-FX patches is ridiculous. They all sound the same to me. But so do many Black Metal bands. That's because I don't know the genre well and cannot distinguish between the differences. Maybe those who play and live the lifestyle, so to speak, of 'Djent' and modern versions of technical metal can distinguish between Periphery and Animals As Leaders and Protest The Hero. I think those three bands sound very distinct, yet they're all considered 'Djent'.Ancient Astronaught wrote:Dan: Yes and no....

Anytime I listen to someone else from the genre I just view them as a worse version of Meshuggah.

Yeah I'm listening to their new album. Hella djenty. Fortress will always be the PtH I love, but I'm kinda feeling this shit. Not really in the mood for it though.AngryGoldfish wrote:People consider PtH Djent because their guitars 'djent'.
