I hope that you find some new bands to listen to and if I left any out please let me know.
First a little bit about Djent, some say it is a tone, others say it is a genre, and others say it's just a sound none of them are wrong but a lot of people forget the fact that Djent isn't just the heavily distorted guitar palm muting,wikipedia says it is,"Dent is a subgenre of Metal featureing heavily distorted palm muted guitar chords, syncopated riffs and polymeters alongside virtuoso soloing! So I think a lot of people do not like Djent because it was kind of lost because a lot of the bands that wanted to jump on the bandwagon when Djent became popular in the metal community, but they only stuck with the heavy palm muted guitars and they get 8 or 10 string guitars and only use the first one or two low strings! I Think what makes Djent so cool is the syncopation and the virtuoso soloing, don't get me wrong, I goof around and play a lot on the low strings and it's a lot of fun, But don't you see? Djent is so much more than that!
Okay sorry about rambling on about Djent! Now here are the bands!
They Will Fall-A great band! Utilizes a lot of clean guitars alongside very heavy low guitars, I think they use 8 strings but am not sure. Their main goal is to present the truth of God to their listeners and to praise God with the talents He placed in their hands.
Their main concern is to glorify God and spread his name to those that have been ignored due to the genre of music they like.
So that's awesome. I especially like that last part,"Ignored due to the genre of music they like." Cause that is really annoying as a metalhead, especially a christian cause people go on about it being demonic and crap like that.
As Hell Retreats-I haven't listened to these guys very much, What I have listened to I enjoyed, someone told me they weren't a bands anymore, but I thought I would still talk about them cause they still have music to listen to. It may not be new but it is to someone who has never heard them.
Unseen Faith- Okay this one I was super excited when I first heard them! I had a great friend tell me about them and I have been hooked since! My Favorite song is Dystopia, definitely check it out!
They were formed in 2010 and are still active.
Centuries Apart- I haven't listened a whole lot to this band either, they have some What I have heard is great, been listening to them a little more and they have some very Djent riffage but not a whole lot of utilizing the other strings but still some sick riffs, the vocalist has some sick screams, every now and then a high scream and those are sick!
I The Breather- I have listened to these guys for a long time!
Amazing band, probably one of the best Christian Djent bands of all! And one of the first I would say, my favorite song by them is Judgment! It starts with piano and then goes to some sick metal awesomeness! Definitely a great listen I highly recommend listening to these guys!
Kingdom of Giants- Awesome band, not as Djenty as most of these but still qualify as Djent. They use a lot of clean vocals in their songs. This band however has a very unique sound with each song, but still an overall theme they stick to. The lyrics always have a recurring theme and message throughout each album.
