Djent? maybe. I honestly like the word "djent" (and all its djentlemanly puns) better than most of the genre
itself, so I guess I am reluctant to associate something I like this much with a style that I generally find... a
little meh. However, calling Concealing Fate djent is way better than comparing it to Periphery. Ambience,
expression, layers, cohesive themes: Tesseract understands all these things; Periphery is a mockery of the
bands similar in tone but vastly different in musical composion.rI still need to listen to this EP a bit more to
really dig into it, but I feel like I will be able to, which is a sign of something good. In general TesseracT
does a really good job of mixing vocal styles, guitar styles, and general ambient calm with upbeat (sigh)
djent. The result is a captivatingly layered and dynamic piece of composition when the EP is viewed as a
whole. |
