Circles - The Frontline, for heavy metal friday
This was the band that introduced me to the type of metal called Djent. I know all this music genre classification stuff is nonsense, but Djent has an amusingly specific definition to make up for it. According to Urban Dictionary...
"Djent is used to describe a certain kind of guitar tone characterized by medium-high gain, a quick-release noise gate to emphasize staccato playing, a cut of most bass below 200Hz for a tight low end, a slight boost around 800hz for clarity, and a noticeable boost around 1.6Khz to emphasize pick attack. When a two-octave power chord is palm-muted with this tone, a "djent" sound is created rather than the typical chunkier sound."
