Listen To Peripheral Rock Song By Neomorpheus At Looperman.com

I haven't really kept up with djent since it's not really in my wheel house (dumb saying)! But I still think bands like Meshuggah and a few others will keep some semblance of it alive for a while yet. I actually kinda dig all that polyrythm, weird time signatures and and polymetered riff stuff. A lot of people think that its all relatively new and attribute it to the Alternative/Groove/Nu/Math metal movements. But Bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen were doing it.

Well, the genre was too hard to pronounce anyway - (also you forgot the "d") djent: is it "Dee-gent", "jent", "Digint"? Who knows?

"but even my drummer has a hard time counting past four, so why make the audience do math"? Drummers get such abuse, that's why they want to pound sh!t all the time !

I used to be a drummer. That's why I switched to guitar, kinda like EVH.

Thanks.
Later bro.

Hey helruna, thanks for the listen and taking time to drop a comment. I much appreciate it.

I totally agree with your assessment in that there is probably far too much repetition. I really had no intention of comparing this to anything like Meshuggah, Tool etc., its far too melodic and as you mentioned too straight forward with time signature. Which is why I made mention of Periphery in my description. I guess I could have taken more time to develop the structure and create more new content but in this case I merely wanted to take some old material and invest the least amount of time to put something half way decent together. I'm not really into this style so much which is probably the reason I failed to finish the song originally.

I certainly appreciate you weighing in on this and suggest you check out some of my other tracks. I do have a cover track of Meshuggah and a good variety of other genre stuff. I'm interested in checking out your music too, which I will definitely do.

You got it bro. Although Destroy Erase Improve came before the guys switched to the 8 strings (which locked down their current sound and unleashed the low register assult era of djent upon the world), this album was certainly significant. Hagstrom had just joined the band and they ended up mashing so many sub genres together the fusion effect led them to create what would become their quintessential sound. They began the development of distinctly more complex songs and debuted the polymetered and polyrhythm song structures which would provide the impetus to their later creation of mathcore and djent.

Some scientists have recently therorized that the release of Destroy Erase Improve and songs like Future Breed Machine were so heavy in violent metaphysical entropy they might have actually ripped a hole in the space time continuum, creating portals to infinite multiverses. Could this be the reason for the vast increase in UFO activity since 1995? Ancient Alien theorists say, yes.

Thanks for the comments danke, very much appreciated.

Thanks for the exuberance jamid. I appreciate it.

Thanks Red, I appreciate the kind words.

Hey jay, nope not the Odin, played on a real guitar. But the Odin could certainly do most of this and probably sound better. Its a real amazing virtual guitar vst. I actually have Shreddage and have made a couple of tracks with it but haven't really invested enough time in it to produce to my satisfaction. The guitar vst's have come a long way though and I'm impressed with a lot of what some people are doing with them. My Looperman bro, ValveDriver has several tracks made with virtual guitar and they are amazing. Check him out if you get a chance. The Odin is one of the best Virtual Guitar vst's I have heard for Metal guitar sound and realism with features for articulation, humanization, key switching etc. It does a real convincing job with rhythms but when it comes to soloing I still think its just not there yet.

Thanks a lot for checking it out nln.

Dual Blackouts - Seymour Duncan Humbuckers !

Ha ha , thanks bro.

I have a lot of material that I've recorded just messing around and that I always intend to do something with. Some might get used, most probably wont.

Hey thanks for the listen and comment BLEEP.
