Today, I am going to introduce you guys a new music style called "djent"!So,why we call it "djent" but not "ajent" or other names ? It initially came from a famous guitarist of a band called Meshuggah. The sound he makes always like "jent" ,and we also use "djent" to describe a kind of sound that has distinctive high-gain,and low pitch.
Take this video for example, and you will know what I mean.
This kind of music mixes lots of other music style,including progressive metal, power metal,and math rock.Briefly,it has uncommon temple like 7/8beat , 5/8 beat, and they usually convert to another temple during their song! Also,their guitar use one string to play bass rhythm instead of use power chord! Sounds amazing right?
But,I must apologize to everyone,because last week I made a wrong pronunciation of "djent". It correct pronunciation is "jent"!!
At the end of this article, I also want to introduce you guys a fantastic new Taiwan djent band called "Lyra"!They mix the element of pop music to djent music,and they are the first Taiwan band to do this!Try it and I am sure that you will be crazy about it!
Thanks for your reading!
