5 Iconic Djent Riffs (Drop G#)

Periphery, Northlane, Invent Animate, Volumes, and Polaris. Little bit of old and a little bit of new. Admittedly, the Invent Animate riff isn't exactly iconic but I thought throwing in SOMETHING from Everchanger was necessary. All the other riffs are absolute staples in the genre and deserve a spot on the list. Cheers, djentlemen.

Ryan still gets to me. It’s got me leery about listening to new Polaris even though I know they’re going to kill it.

drop G# is THE OG djent tuning, really good work on this, love the little flourishes you added

This is what drives me batty about djent. I love it, but I’m an A standard kinda guy.

That classic Invent Animate and Northlane style is a tier above anything else for me. Not just in that era of metalcore, but any era of metalcore. When everybody else started to do it, they just couldn't do it as well (IMO obviously, not everyone agrees with that, and that's perfectly fine)

Fucking same man. The incredible thing to me is that while so many tried to recreate it, nobody really could.

@recklessnotion1899 Жыл бұрын

This man has excellent taste in riffing. Two off the top of the head that would have fit well with this list is Neo Seoul by After the Burial, that main riff after the opening and Tremors by Currents between the 30 and 50 sec mark. And between the 2 min and ten - 2 min 35 sec mark. Absolutely devastating riffage.

@jamesslayer4 11 ай бұрын

Pretty sure Neo Seoul is in 9 string drop C#, but I could be wrong.
