Marten is the interview king. I feel like the other guys do an 1/8 of the amount of interviews he does, but He always says things that make complete sense. I feel like his (and their) ability to keep their heads on straight is what defines success.
Mårten and Tomas, I'd say.
Edit: Aaaand Mårten touched upon the thing that I feel is missing to make Djent a "proper" subgenre: A clear direction. According to the people who claim to love djent, Keith Merrow and Animals As Leaders are both Djent. There are so many bands that are supposedly djent, but I don't see how they all relate to tie into this new subgenre. The places where they meet are already subgenres: Progressive metal, Tech metal, etc. Djent is basically just a sprinkle of a few subgenres with a certain tonality to it... Except the bands don't always have that tonality either. So yeah, it's confusing, and it's the subject of a huge amount of misconceptions and misunderstandings.
New video is fucking awesome! I'm slightly irked by the immediate comparisons to Tool though, it detracts from the incredible art direction of this video, .
I hear what you're saying but stylistically it's very similar to a few old Tool vids, hard to argue with that. That doesn't make it a bad thing.
