I’ve seen the term djent floating around on the internet a lot lately as bands like Periphery, Tesseract and Animals as Leaders are some of the rising stars within the metalcore genre, but have a bit of a twist. They blend the mathematics of The Dillinger Escape Plan with the guitar and bass sounds of bands like Meshuggah (seen as the pioneers from this sound) and Cynic. This sound is often promoted with the term “djent”. But now a new genre emerged called Djentstep, mixing this djent sound with modern dubstep. The French artist The Algorithm is seen as the first one to mix these genres and it sounds pretty cool.

You can check out the track ‘Isometry’ underneath here or download both of his free demo’s here and here. There’s more of his music up on his Soundcloud. We’d love yo hear your thoughts on this new blend of genres! Let us know if you know any other acts or have opinions on this.
