Djent is cool. But the snares reminds me of my mother hitting me with a slipper.

THE METAL SUBGENRE CHALLENGE #015 - DJENT
In this challenge, I'll be taking a look at various albums I haven't heard yet from a variety of different Metal subgenres. I'm quite familiar with the genre, but I really want to dive into the specific subgenres and analyze them.

DJENT. Honestly, while I do prefer modern Djent, I still do really appreciate the classics such as this one. It's definitely one of the most iconic Djent and Prog Metal albums of all time, there's no doubt about that, it's ... read more

I haven't really listen to much Djent before, but I fell like this was a pretty good place to start. The album was good but the only songs that I really enjoyed all the way through were Combustion, Bleed, Lethargica, and obZen. A lot of the other songs blended together, but overall it was still a fun listen.

Great - Combustion, Bleed, Lethargica, obZen
Good - Dancers to a Discordant System
Ok - Electric Red, This Spiteful Snake, Pineal Gland Optics, Pravus
