Djent

Djent is a progressive metal subgenre characterized by its distinctive high-gain, palm-muted guitar sound that mimics the onomatopoeic "djent" chug. Originating in the mid-2000s with bands like Meshuggah and Periphery, it blends complex polyrhythms, intricate riffs, and atmospheric elements, often showcasing technical prowess and experimental structures. This genre captivates with its fusion of heaviness and precision, appealing to those who appreciate both cerebral musicianship and raw intensity.
