Djent vs Progressive Rock...

[Jason Mallory]

Are they the same or different ? Did Prog Rock evolve into Djent ? Is Djent even a genre or is it a guitar technique ? I don't know but this is some technical music.

Polyphia. All the kids in the group are under 20.

I love prog-metal, and enjoy playing it for fun, and keeping the chops sharp, but rarely listen to this type just for pleasure. I prefer it coupled with something melodic, vocals or otherwise, like Protest the Hero, for example.

[Jerry Walker]

And "Djent" is technically a tone-shaping technique, that's become synonymous with a specific genre of prog-metal. Meshuggah created it.

Agree with what Jerry walker said....AaL and Sithu Aye are sick! Volumes' via album is what I think of when I think of djent though....if you like instrumental rock, check out Scale the Summit or Chon's newborn sun ep

Something like this ?

I've heard Meshuggah coined the term djent but didn't Metallica actually create the tone when they did the break down in the song One ?
