To start off, most of these are of the newer era (to say, djent and progressive), so be warned - to all you djent haters/people who hate people who hate people who hate using the word djent
Came across some really cool tracks while browsing through YouTube. Here are some tracks of bands/artists that you probably haven't heard
1) Hydrodjent - Celestial
Hydrodjent was the bedroom project of Keshav Dhar, who made and mixed all tracks himself, then got hold of Dan, Anup, Nikhil and Devesh to form Skyharbor.
Hydrodjent = Raw{Skyharbor - Effects - Vocals} + (Headbang x 1.5).
2) Ryan Siew
Australian kid, starting posting guitar covers at the age of 13. His videos usually get a 100k views or more! What's even cooler is that this kid (now 16) is now endorsed by Mayones guitars, Bare Knuckle pickups, and Gruv Gear. High quality equipment, crystal clear recordings, and brilliant videography are the hallmarks of his videos. Periphery usually re-shares his covers (here's the cover of Scarlet). There's also an own composition of his I really liked, with some spectacular riffs.
3) Matt Harnett
Another progressive metal guitarist, slightly older than Ryan Siew however. Hails from TN, USA. He recently released a 6 song EP, written, mixed and mastered in his bedroom, which is truly phenomenal! Not the most unique of song types, but I liked many of the ideas that he brought about in this EP
4) Skyharbor with Joint Family
Now this was truly stumbling on a gold mine (Well not a mine, more like a bar). I never knew that once upon a time long long ago Keshav Dhar of Skyharbor randomly jammed with Joint Family (Indian band, hardcore) and this song was recorded and posted on Youtube! It is one hell of a track, and you can see Keshav's signature guitar styles oozing out of this one. It's a pity that this has only ~850 views
I have no idea why but Blogger isn't allowing me to load the video onto this portal. So let me beat Blogger's ass by linking this image to the video (Click image below to the song)
5) Days of confusion - Grace
I came across this riff which I found very catchy, tracked it back to a Romanian band initially called Aria, and now changed to Days of confusion. Not many would like their songs as they borderline new age rock/alternative, but they somehow have some real cool riffs within these tracks
6) Fellsilent - Immerse
Believe it or not, Fellsilent, the experimental band from UK, had the founding members of TesseracT and Monuments! (Acle Kahney and John Browne). Too bad that they fell apart, but all for the greater good, else half my blog posts would've gone missing. Their flagship album was launched by Basick, which can be found in it's entirety here. One of their most popular tracks is Immerse - listen closely to the start - That's 100% pure Acle Kahney from Tesseract's Concealing Fate : Acceptance. And many of the riffs have John Browne's DNA. Brilliant track, not-so-impressive vocals
I'll be back with more in the part 2 compilation of this series. Stay tuned!
