Description : Decided to finish a track I had started over a year ago. I didn't have much of this song complete, just the rhythm track. So I added a bass track, drums and the solo. Was trying to do something in the melodic djent style of Periphery.

If you have time take a listen and give Neomorpheus some feedback.

Question "does it jent"
Answer "yes"

Too bad the genre prematurely aged and ate itself. Probably too much mashup like mentioned previously.
Also no polyrhythm, but even my drummer has a hard time counting past four, so why make the audience do math.

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.

Great track and production. Guitar work is excellent. This has a LOT of potential. I'm going to be a little harsh to help take it to another level. To get up there with Messugah the middle and end repeats far too much to be called progressive as it's all in 8/8. I'd play with doublet rhythms or doublet offbeats, or get the bass to pop twang on offbeats. My profile here is hiphop :-D but IRL my projects are more akin to Mr Bungle, Sikth, Isis and Tool

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.
Danke

Huhhh Neo!

Fantastic piece of music here...I was a big fan of Meshuggah...destroy, erase, improve was a definite listen (a must listen)...am I right, that they were one of the first pioneers of this djent stg???
your guitar is absolute impressive as always (as your knowledge)...
outstanding song...

handshake, fav, dl, Danke

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.

I like the tone on the guitar. Are you playing that? Sounds like the Odin plugin. Either way sounds great!
Neomorpheus
Neomorpheus replied 14th Feb 2019 - 5 years ago
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.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
