^^ Never listened to Tesseract (will listen a bit more), but I've had convos about djent in general, with people who do actually listen to similar style bands. djent is extremely nerdy, but that's the point right? Newer, or evolving subgenre terms seem to be a result of the internet, case in point with djent i suspect. I don't necessarily classify djent as a post-hc thing, but i do see the influences that have lead up to such younger, more recent diversions in um.. progressive metal. My earlier parallels & interests I can make to djent fans is that I was once obsessed with early mathrock, metalcore and/or mathcore, and the like, so I understand the geekiness of it all. Chugga chugga, djent djent djent.. lol. The recent deathcore thing could be another similar paralell, whether good or bad. I get it tho. The music, subjective. I will listen to specifics if & when. All good.
Seether - not really my thing but I get it. In contrast I prefer bands like Torche, or earlier 90's, 2000's, and now 2020 era, Shiner, Hum, etc.
Fantomas - great! Patton has always been incredibly interesting. Huge catalog of music in his discography, crazy to think about it. At this point in time, I've always been more interested in his ideas and thought processes for label output, and then of course, via his own music. Patton is like a one man Crass Records in my mind, operating in similar, free form spirit, ever evolving. Ipacec is maybe only rivalled by Alternative Tentacles for such a huge range of releases for similar, envisioned record labels. Keeps ya guessing, after all these years. That is a good thing.
2020 Shiner release btw, noice.
