A new kind of music or a made up genre? Djent is the name Meshuggah’s lead guitarist give their distinctive sound which has inspired a lot of people…and maybe even a genre? Here Hacktivist combine those complex chugging riffs with grime, which if you can get over the Ghost of Rap Metal (a band name, right there!) it’s a wonderfully evil sounding combination. Meshuggah can do no wrong, so I’m a sucker for this sort of thing although adding grime rap is a new twist – other apparently ‘Djent’ artists seem to have a sound closer to Meshuggah or doom metal vocal, or a more electronic take on it, even in something that sounds like metal jazz ??!
