i don't know what a 'Djent fan' really is (is that like mallcore?) but none of my metalhead friends had even heard of periphery, and at least around here there's very little publicity or anything surrounding those kids.  on the flipside, i don't know a single metal head personally that hasn't heard of august burns red (since we were just talking about them a few pages ago)

A person who loves Djent maybe?

Periphery is mentioned in the article as one of the founding fathers of this sub-genre.

cool!  i guess i'm a 'djent fan' then.  i guess there are some similarities between all those bands, enough to make djent a sub genre worth sorting by anyways

Liar Liar Pants on Fire!!! You know 'Djent'. Yes you do. Yes you do..

I'm not typically a fan of normal "djent", but I'm starting to like bands that make use of djenty rhythms and blend it with lighter music, like Plini, Sithu Aye and David Maxim Micic. Tessersct's acoustic EP is also really cool, but their metal albums are too much for me.

I think some of this sub stratum slicing and dicing of genres by the metal puzzle palace is kind of stupid. Djent. Huh? Oh, ok bands that are influenced by Meshuggah. I don't get it. How about the bands influenced by Opeth? How about proggy metalcorish bands similar to Between the Buried and Me? Or, Voivid? Then, you've got good old Dream Theater. Symphonic proggy black metal. Or Gojira....wait, maybe Gojira actually are djent....I can't keep track. Or WhoeverTF?
 
How about progressive metal. That covers a wide swath. That works for me.

Tesseract's most recent was good, I agree. Definitely a great full album listen. In regards to Periphery, I wouldn't say they are underrated. I could understand that from a mainstream point of view, but unless you're Avenged Sevenfold or something, metal is never popular in the mainstream. It's ok though, because Baby Metal is opening for Lady Gaga. So there's a chance. Lol.

I have that album, but like Distant In Solitary Night more.
 
I posted a list of metal bands I like a while ago. You would probably enjoy most of them.
 
For raw, aggressive black metal, I highly recommend Antaeus.

cool ill check

You know what?
I'm not even mad about that. Why would I? It's actually kind of funny to me.

Yeah, I got a good laugh out of it too. I kinda wanted to go just to be a part of the experience. The looks on peoples faces when they started the growls when they were just there for Poker Face and whatever else Gaga sings.

  Underrated?!
I don't think there is a single Djent fan out there who doesn't know Periphery.

Yeah, I had never heard of Periphery either, even though I had skimmed the djent Wikipedia link in the past.
 
I had never heard of August Burns Red until they were shared in the aforementioned location - and no wonder. I mentioned that they are a mainstream-sounding metalcore band - which I don't like as much when it comes to metalcore. I prefer more extreme metalcore like Zao and Converge.

Meshuggah coined the term, anyway, and that's all that matters to me.

This is a fascinating read about a guy who listened to over a hundred different versions of the Led Zeppelin albums and lists his favorites. Anyone who has the original 1990s box set knows it was not that great. The Japan mini record box set was even worse. He explains why and tells you about going to used CDs stores to find the original 1980s CDs, which are cheap. He also finds that the original US pressing are best for a lot of vinyl releases. Who knew?

If only they decided to release the studio masters...but for older recordings like these, they aren't in a digital file format, which complicates matters.

I would usually agree, but djent is a very distinctive sound. I've never really considered it to be a genre as much as a quality to the music, which usually falls under prog metal. A few months ago for me, hearing someone describe a band as "djent" was just a convenient way to immediately know it was a band I wouldn't like.

I remember Metal Archives used to list Meshuggah's genre as something like progressive post-thrash, lol

I heard Zeppelin number four of this set and it was amazing. Interesting to see what treatment we will see when HD tracks starts selling the next run of remasters. To tell you the truth I'm happy with having the original CD, the 90s remaster the vinyl and the 24/96 rip of the 45rpm. I really don't need anything new?
