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'.
Funnily enough, I don't consider Meshuggah to be Djent. They're Progressive Metal through and through. They are that because they 'progressed' the genre of metal to new heights.
I missed this somehow....
I concur for the most part... There's alot of black metal bands that use very different guitar tones IMO. Your spot on about DEP though. And I think if I delved more into the Djent music I could pick different bands apart, but it would mainly be due to the playing style as like you said they follow a formula for their tone Maxon OD808 > (variety of different FMV tone stack high gain heads all with the gain low) > post preamp EQ > SS power amp.
Meshuggah aren't Djent because they were what they are before that was invented, it was invented to describe the sound they created and the genre that follows it.

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.
Fortress is a fucking awesome album. I feel like that band is really underrated. The thrashy riff in Sequoia Throne is still one of my favorite metal riffs of all time, along with the main riff in Bloodmeat

I've forgotten how good Limb From Limb is on that album, particularly the "She is the forest, she is the rain" verse

This album is now my soundtrack to today/moving. I've been on a huge PtH kick lately. Also, Genghis Tron. Skip and I were talking about it last week, but does anyone remember them? If so, are there other bands that did the electronica/metal thing that well, or are they the stand out?

Ghengis Tron is fucking quality
Sadly have not found anyone else who really could really do it like them

Ghengis Tron is ok, but as far as puns go I much preferred short-lived ILFer Ghengis Kayne.

Ahh damn, I think it was the combination of not using a live drummer and an insane level of talent that made them work. I can't really imagine someone else filling that niche.
