[Stompmeister]

my band, when i finish this ep that i'm working on. just good old blackened melodic death metal in F and Bb. i can absolutely guarantee that i will never under any circumstances djent, and have come to accept that i'll never be able to be all too techy.

Way back at the beginning they did.

Interestingly, Leprous also use 8s - they were Ihsahn's backing band when I saw him, too.

Obscure Sphinx - a female-fronted post-metal band that uses 8 strings. The whole album destroys.

Obscure Sphinx - Nasciturus

Enstride. One of the guitarists posts here, and they have a pretty interesting sound. There are some djenty moments, but also a little bit of a hardcore feel on a foundation of melodic rock.



My friend's band Stealing Axion. Although I don't really think of them as a djent band, you may disagree. I'm posting them here anyway. They just put out a new album, and you should all go check it out.

this is rad

i also learned that emperor's touring keyboardist is also in Leprous, and he is Ihsahn's brother-in-law

Mnemic - mnemesis. 7s tuned down but non djent. Songs like junkies on the storm
