[@RobertoReyesChHC]

So glad he hasn't forgotten about the super old stuff. I'm also happy as to how organic this sounds. Most playthroughs these days are super processed or are just the song itself with a video of somebody playing over it.

Marc is in the Big Four of Djent Pioneers

[@RobertLandrum13]

Lol.There's only 1 "djent" pioneer. The man who conjured the word and created the REAL "djent" tone. The one person who said he hates that there's a "djent" genre now and wishes they weren't associated with it.

[@kriskenard]

@@RobertLandrum13 - please don't djentsplain to me, mate

[@andyham6094]

Meshuggah, periphery, animals as leaders. Those are the 3 who have had the biggest impact imo, or at least for me hands down. Veil is good especially their older stuff but not nearly as influential or good as those other 3 but I guess it’s all preference and depends on each person. All I know is misha and tosin have always been inspired and influenced by meshuggah and they made it their own and wrote a lot of their early songs in both their careers together and fine tuned the modern djent sound. Not just guitars but also drums since misha programmed all the drum parts himself and that familiar djent drum sound with the stacks and odd times has a lot to do with misha and how he visioned, wrote, and programmed the songs. Guys like Matt garstka and Matt halpern all learned a lot of programmed drum parts from Misha’s style and it suck with both of them and took it their own way. Anyone who has listened to the early bulb and periphery recordings knows. Misha also helped write animals first few albums and programmed the drums on their album as well as periphery’s. Familiar songs like tempting time and wave of babies from animals is misha. Also the infamous woven web breakdown drums and pattern was written by misha.

[@bradleyhorn4249]

Meshuggah is the pioneer of Djent. There’s no denying it
