That can't be right, they don't do the various things that Kotow and others seem convinced that "all djent bands" do.

Are you telling me they don't have one song where it's constant arpeggios under the vocals ? And awkward guitar rhythms and busy drums ?

I shall have to check them out in that case !

DT needs to give news for the sake of this thread. Even if its "the music will be like chocolate cake" or whatever.

I just read on BLABBERMOUTH that John Petrucci is filling in guitar duties for Periphery after the untimely death of their current guitarist. Apparently it's just for the recording of this album and subsequent tour, but recent reports show JP sporting a Periphery logo tattoo on his right calf, so we'll see where this goes.

If they make it another two weeks, it will have been a whole year without any public release.

You can do it, DT!!

I think the closest that they've come to djent is the into and out to to Raw Dog. Which may explain why a lot of people around here are so against them doing it again lol. If they had a section here or there with djent influences or even one song I would be all for it but I wouldn't want an entire album full of it.

I'd say the intro to The Mirror is proto-djent... but not really.

what the heck, no it isn't, it's just heavy chords

Djent and grunge. We know they exist, but application seems to be a constant debate.

For the record, I'm not even 100% what djent is. Every time somebody claims they've defined it, somebody else challenges them. How did we get to djent in this thread?

Darkstarshades · « **Reply #3272 on:** September 15, 2015, 09:01:15 PM »

Isn't Honor Thy Father pretty djenty?

Calvin6s · « **Reply #3273 on:** September 15, 2015, 10:45:18 PM »

It all comes down to whether or not the djent floor pedal was in or out of the signal chain.

Ha! Beat me to it! Yeah, that was an article that said a whole lot about nothing at all.

"The new album will be a further progression of the band’s creative identity"

Fair enough

Quote from: John Petrucci

This album will be significantly different from the previous. We have gone to great lengths to not just rerecord the same songs, even though, there were moments that were close. Several times we had a "wait, isn't that..." moment. The thing that usually keyed us in was James starting to sing the lyrics already. Since James doesn't write lyrics, we knew something was up.

John Petrucci : " Y'know. We really set out this time to do something we hadn't really done before and we actually recorded the album twice.

We finished it and we were all of us in the mastering suite and I suddenly slapped myself in the face.

I suddenly just realised that the album was absolutely filled with guitars bass and drums and vocals. So we had to literally scrap the entire album and start over. "

I've read this 3 times and I still don't really understand what he is trying to say about James and the vocals/lyrics. I'm lost.
