09.11.21 | go back in time and destroy original sin |
Heppasodge
09.11.21 | you are all in denial, djent was a valid chapter in the history of metal |
Pikazilla
09.11.21 | it is also a chapter we all wish we could forget |
Heppasodge
09.11.21 | alli need is one person admitting that they enjoyed it, partially |

Emim
09.11.21 | 8 and 9 are cool though |
Archelirion
09.11.21 | Yeah ngl djent was my shit back in 2011-14ish. Tbh most of this stuff ruled last time I heard it. I think I still prefer Blinding White Noise to Guiding Lights, though I definitely softened to Guiding. Did you ever hear Sunshine Dust? That one kinda passed me by apparently, might have to jam later. |

09.11.21 | "5 blows the entire genre out of the water"
accurate |
Archelirion
09.11.21 | But yes herping and derping and all that |
Archelirion
09.11.21 | Yeah Exoplanet is a monster. Never did come to peace with direction they took with Language onwards |
Heppasodge
09.11.21 | granted i did feel slightly guilty adding 5 |
Tundra
09.11.21 | Djent has unfortunately become very homogenized over the years, the first wave of djent was an epic time in metal history. |
Pikazilla
09.11.21 | It has been homogenized since its inception |
Purpl3Spartan
09.11.21 | 10 is great
This is the most antipika list I have ever seen |
Pikazilla
09.11.21 | spartan, I like 7 albums on this list |
Pikazilla
09.11.21 | I also have 7, 9, and 10 1'd ololol |
Get Low
09.11.21 | djent has aged amazingly! |
Mythodea
09.11.21 | what about David Maxim Micic? |
Tundra
09.11.21 | do you guys think there is a first wave and second wave of djent? and when do you think the first wave ended and the second wave started? (or is there a third wave of djent too?) |
Heppasodge
09.11.21 | You could say there was a group of bands that started making music around 2005 - 2009, (sikth, textures, chimp spanner, benea reach, animals as leaders), where the sound was still fairly thrashy and proggy, but had more emphasis on rhythm/chugging.
And then it became trendy and lots of people jumped on the sound, with some more prominent bands, i.e. Tesseract, Periphery, The Contortionist, Vildhjarta, where everything became more stripped back, programmed, and dedicated, and the distinctive twangy guitar tone became recogniseable. |
Tundra
09.11.21 | Cool assessment man, very interesting! I'm seeing less primarily djent bands around and more metalcore bands that incorporate djent into their sound, such as Spiritbox, Invent Animate, Silent Planet, and a myriad of other bands as well.
Obviously, the instruprog crowd is still going, Plini, Intervals, David Maxim Micic etc. But overall I think the sound has become homogenized by all these metalcore bands, I think it's potentially at risk of being overly exposed to the point where people are starting to become sick of it, cause every metalcore band is using it, can't stress that enough.
I think instruprog is still going strong nowadays, Periphery's recent track Reptile reignited my hope for the longevity of the genre, hoping it will have legs to continue thriving. |
GhandhiLion
09.11.21 | Abort this genre |
GhandhiLion
09.11.21 | "do you guys think there is a first wave and second wave of djent?"
Abort the internet |
Uzumaki
09.11.21 | I actually like some of the bands on this list, but I do agree with Tundra’s assessment that the sound has been co-opted and normalized to death nowadays, creating a dearth. |
Ryus
09.11.21 | third-wave djent is my fave |
Uzumaki
09.11.21 | Disregarding the potential sarcasm there, what would you consider third-wave djent? |
GhandhiLion
09.11.21 | Tyrant of Death |
Ryus
09.11.21 | "Disregarding the potential sarcasm there, what would you consider third-wave djent?"
i'm afraid my response will disappoint you lol |
Uzumaki
09.11.21 | Nono, for better and (obviously) for worse, I’m invested now. Let’s hear your witty non sequitir. |
Heppasodge
09.11.21 | What is intruprog i've never heard that before |
botb
09.11.21 | 14 should be 1 tbh |
chemicalmarriage
09.11.21 | I've heard that periphery themselves aren't gay, but the notes they play are. Discuss |
GhandhiLion
09.11.21 | No that would make them valid |
Tundra
09.11.21 | "What is intruprog i've never heard that before"
I find it quite peculiar that an instrumental band like AAL, is bunched together along with a band with vocals like Periphery. Its a habit for me to separate the two. It's not a big deal, however, I just think it's odd most dont separate the two as I. |
Relinquished
09.11.21 | too bad textures called it quits early
they could’ve kept it up |

09.11.21 | “ I also have 7, 9, and 10 1'd ololol”
Lmao my mistake |
JeetJeet
09.11.21 | 5, 7, & 9 are genuinely amazing. The rest aged like dogshit. |
Relinquished
09.11.21 | mmh nah 3 and 6 still hold up |
Uzumaki
09.11.21 | 2 & 3 still hold up rather well |
Tundra
09.11.21 | all hold up, this is the golden age of djent right here, are you kidding me? |

Periphery suck, but you know what else sucks? Using gay as an insult. |
Tundra
09.11.21 | "all hold up, this is the golden age of djent right here, are you kidding me?"
well I won't say all, I would say a band like Northlane and Monuments would prove to be more of a detriment towards the genre than anything else. They were basically the precursor to what is now, all metalcore bands using the djent sound and inflating it into homogenous monotony, unfortunately. |
bgillesp
09.11.21 | I am a proponent of djent here to provide support. 1,2,3,5,8 are all bands with some classic djent material, though I havent heard all of these bands. |
Relinquished
09.11.21 | well check 6 cuz they were one of the firsts to do it |
Madbutcher3
09.11.21 | 6 is decent |
RogueNine
09.11.21 | 12 is amazing. |
BookoftheFallen

Muzz79
09.12.21 | List is decent. I prefer other albums from these bands but otherwise
Other release that could sit with these is Alaya - Thrones |
