Top 10 Djent/Progressive Instrumentals [2015]

[@cambeattie8805]

Tosin Abasi is an absolute fucking weapon. What a guy.

[@Cross_ramen]

Too right...

[@hadara69]

Animals as Leaders kicks fucking ass!!! I highly recommend them.

[@AndroxineVortex]

I saw them live with Devin Townsend and Monuments. It as an awesome show!!

[@hadara69]

AndroxineVortex Dying to see them live!

[@TheApostleofRock]

AndroxineVortex Dude I saw when they played at First Avenue in Minneapolis! Great concert.

[@Totone56]

Golgotha_Mythos69 Seen them with Tesseract ... Wow.

[@jwcorcoran9838]

Golgotha_Mythos69 Saw them with Periphery in Australia, best musicians I've ever been in the same room with

[@redatlas8484]

A lot of these songs remind me of 'In Flames' which NOBODY around my area seems to have heard of. Glad to find more music that sounds similar to them, they're close to my favorite.

[@masterflexgaming1198]

Thanks for putting this together! You've helped me add to my Instrumental Djent playlist. :)

[@chatsfornia238]

MasterFLEX Gaming awesome!

[@Voulf]

MasterFLEX Gaming If you like Djent, you should give a try to this playlist: 8tracks.com/ashebarrett/a-day-without-music-is-a-lost-day-instrumetal, tons of hits!

[@gunderconk]

+Voulf hey mate... i really really like your sound and im really wondering what that djent about heard the first time about this word so im new :) is it possible to get your songs anyhow? i want to download them or so! thx for answer! greerings from CH

[@HolyAnchor]

[@JosephRossaiElenor]

I saw Tosin back when he was playing with Reflux. Blew my mind. I had never heard anything like it.

[@SnubThree87]

I like this countdown. Was pleasantly surprised to see Chon and Plini

[@fabiovera7956]

awsome selection of tasty bands !!!

[@screamoskate14]

Anup is an amazing drummer..

[@Freedish0188]

That riff at the end by Optimist, is amazing, one of the most melodic djent rythms ive heard

[@danneu8]

Martin Andres from Pomegranate Tiger is such a beast. Plays guitar and drums on the latest album.

[@SelfReflexivity]

Misha and Tosin?! I'm getting a broner just listening to this!

[@user-pp3vu1uc6o]

Anus Pastry is Dope

[@Guitarnyx]

HHAHAHAHA

[@albertsuchan9366]

+Brendan Oh jesus christ, the worst thing is, that after reading it first, i didn't even find it weird

[@pruple-tm]

Brendan Dope is Anup Sastry

[@BoundInChains]

[@Hellscrap3r]

Double Helix. The song that got me into Sithu's sound.

[@damiensmith6588]

I totally mistead the title, i thought it was Top 10 Djent Instruments..... although i am glad i stumbled upon this, good video bro

[@albertogaziano7392]

I sing rock but I'd like to sing this kind of music!! :)

[@mackenziemulder3783]

That's so dope I know the singer of mandroid Echostar they are from where I'm from! Kick ass band!

[@holygroove2]

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't really sure what you would call Djent. Tosin seems to me like he's bigger than Djent.

[@atomdragon]

This is a great list man. I like your font typesetting too, good job.

[@chatsfornia238]

Thanks!

[@Jeffkingson]

i am really glad to see the helix nebula and Anup Sastry in this list.

[@Dilidjent]

List needs some - Angel Vivaldi, Dmitry Demyanenko and Paul Wardingham...

[@TrevorDixon879]

[@rogerramirez8025]

[@BlindSteven92]

Makes me proud to see that 6 of the bands i listen too where in the list :3

[@AximandTheCursed]

Some tasty shredding here, found it awesomely soothing.

[@mickaelbelhumeur3740]

That top 10 is pretty excellent! By the by, I recommend Omega Virus ; The weeping earth. Awesome stuff!

[@lyconxero457]

Nice video! Found a few bands I've never heard before and got some new songs to listen to because of it.

[@Dilidjent]

Jared Dines & Steve Terreberry :D

[@lmarquezgiron]

I personally think Chon is way way out of being a djent band. But I have to say it is a great compilation.

[@chrish1797]

I hear some Btbam in Pomegranate Tiger, and i hear Rush in Atlas haha. Awesome list though! Thanks for putting it together.

[@G0odf3lla]

Thank you so much for this list

[@martynemec2072]

Northlane - Discoveries is pretty amazing too, albeit very chill.

[@BigEvan96]

Mandroid echostar has an fzerox vibe. Awesome!

[@blakeskyles7876]

Horseyhorse Pfft I don't give a shit. This is the only list I actually agree with. But you missed Monuments.. Why?!

[@EdoardoMassagliA]

Wombat Sceptre well mouments aren t instrumental :\

[@IAMDREWBY]

I am not proud, of what I just said. I, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I will take whatever legal punishment is needed.

[@lhollinger111]

The lack of Modern Day Babylon, Intervals and David Maxim Micic is disturbing.

[@chatsfornia238]

[@Octavarium666xyz]

[@joshuabartlett3589]

Intervals Mata Hari

[@duncanllope951]

[@SoadAddict91]

And a little known band called Wide Eyes.

[@LanceSummer]

[@olivebsumatry1818]

[@Toni-nv2om]

[@zealot027]

A top 10 Djent/Prog Instrumental list without Bulb's Racecar on it?!?!?! Blasphemy! All jokes and labeling fiascos aside, solid list! All great artists and music.

[@hamidsmk-al-madani5960]

[@boamism]

[@waffle_lord0]

Haha love the dog barking at the end of the first clip

[@JamesSilvers18]

I would definately change out Sea of Suns for Temple anddddd..... How did Chon get here? They're awesome but they have nothing to do with Djent...

[@chatsfornia238]

Jimmy Silvers Then make a Djent list.

[@AirGuitar]

Awesome video!

[@jamesjohnson4432]

Plini is Radiant, but Joyfully Modern Prog Metal at best IMO x

[@rockervolt9177]

0:55 The dog wants more.

[@KeleleHead]

FUCK YEAHHH!!! PLINI RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jwcorcoran9838]

That Plini song is fucking sick!!! He makes me to proud to be Australian! Did anyone else think it sounded like Dream Theater though? It just sounded like that song could fit perfectly on Scenes From A Memory or Awake

[@medawc519]

What model is the 8-string guitar that appears in 1:10?

[@totuudenmukainen5192]

rg8

[@AirGuitar]

Pomegranate Tiger! They're really good.

[@KamiDisturbed]

chon! :)) you shouldve put perfect pillow :) oh and also that misha + tosin optimist is just so fkin damn good song! :)))

[@actuallyasriel]

something less known that i'd like to have seen is Seku Sasaki's Skyphobia

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

optimist for the win

[@56theincredible]

4:50 is more like power metal

[@butterguitar3978]

Omg that bend plini uses in atlas is tasty

[@SyrenUK]

MANDROID ECHOSTAR ARE AWESOME

[@jessepinkeye2339]

subbed

[@AverageJop25]

CHON!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RealJohi]

Chon is clean dj0nt

[@blueskythinking4745]

There's no 0s in Chons music they're the opposite of djent

[@RealJohi]

+Brendon stacey its a djust a dj0ke m8

[@Anfera236]

Top 10 Axe Fx users :p

[@jbarnesiii88]

No Intervals? :'(

[@evhr0N]

Duality of Intervals was missed

[@judahbenhur5820]

ancient arrows is not instrumental, maybe is an instrumental version of the song, IMO I wouldn't have put this song in this list, is like put a teserract song from alteret state cd2 which all are from the cd1 but without voices. Second, I listened their album Entities, and is so fucking insane, if you have the oportunity listen to it, worth every second of that album

[@DeOrestes]

Dumb question but whats the font? haha

[@yotus3491]

where tf is tesseract. by far one of the best djent/ progressive bands out there..

[@willstanbury9725]

In that aal video javiers guitar is so damn high its about to be a violin

[@digitalblasphemy1100]

why do they all just sorta sit there?

[@pimgimbergh4370]

But the question is, D0es it Dj0nt?

[@trinityprofessor]

Chon

[@lugalkien3599]

Where is Reflections? I dont care much for djent, but Reflections stands out from the rest.

[@marcmoreno4500]

SITHU AYE!!! FUCK YES!!!

[@WildWildWeasel]

Plini killed them all.

[@maxmoritz1931]

but does it djent???

[@tomtom-wz9yx]

plini is fuckin amazing

[@DemonHunterr7]

Vise volim da slusam ovo nego leba da jedem

[@jonastaras2970]

Chon the music is suppose to be tight, not the shorts.

[@Floral_Green]

Anup Sastry is my dad, CHON are definitely Djent (you probably just can't make out the guitar tone through the abrasive growls) and Periphery are criminally overrated.

[@Genericrunescapeman]

+Jay Mazella Polyphia though ^.^

[@Floral_Green]

+John Elder Polythia are underrated, they're talented musicians, no doubt.

[@devingilbert2383]

No. Search Pete Cottrell. His singles are Meshuggah-tier

[@DarkminiStoned]

This aint Djent at all lol Most of those band are progressive. Still a sic video. great taste :P

[@thegrimm54321]

You picked the muddiest and least balanced version of Tooth & Claw hahaha

[@martialpoet1495]

Im curious as to how Polyphia's Impassion is Djent ._.

[@Cpmnk]

Storm Gorilon i was thinking the same thing

[@CraftTheBoss]

Storm Gorilon The Rhythm is syncopated

[@martialpoet1495]

***** Ah i see that explains it. Been to long since i've listened to polyphia or much of djent. Life is a bitch takes ya away from all the good stuff not gonna lie.

[@CraftTheBoss]

Storm Gorilon Agreed.

[@zachariaseller2402]

Their guitars are tuned way to high to be djent xD

[@torsteinnord2149]

Где джент то???? О_о
