Supposed to be "djent" because of that detuned chugging sound. I like Meshuggah as well but there seems to be a whole lot of people in Bangalore who are actually into this shit, which I really don't get.

I also like Meshuggah, and ObZen sounds cool to me. It's actually one of my favourite 2008' albums.

I prefer going to shows focusing on the music rather than all the other shit that's going on. I've never understood that mentality of hardcore shows, what am I supposed to hear if I run in a circle or surf crowds of people? If you're just out for an adrenaline rush you might just as well drink some moonshine and buy a rollercoaster-ticket for all I care.
Strictly musically speaking, I doubt Discharge would be more audible than Morbid Angel in a live situation.

When I go to a show I just wish I could be the only person there, and sit back and relax in a comfortable chair and watch/listen to the band. Moshing and crowd surfing, and all the other dumb crap people do is stupid and takes away from the experience.
I'm not one to mosh or crowd surf or do anything like that either.
Besides, I really don't like getting my hair messed up!

I get where you guys are coming from, but there's something about being pushed up against a bunch of other people all rocking out to the same band that I think definitely adds to the experience. Some of the shit people do is fucking retarded, though.

Mastodon is overrated, they lure you in with their elegant etheral feeling album covers then slap you across the face with some cheap stoner rock that sounds nothing like the album cover.
I feel I have to wear sandals and buy a surfboard when I listen to this shit, and I hate sandals.

I've heard leviathan (whatever) and remission and didn't feel the need to venture any further. I had heard them years earlier, but forgot why I discarded them. Now I remember why

I'm in this camp, but I also enjoy groping underage girls at live music events so it is understandable that I enjoy crowded standing space situations. I also like to dance and move around a little. Headbanging is pretty retarded most of the time, and the only fun part about a circle pit is watching it. As for people who show up to a concert and do that thing where they fight invisible ninjas...well they get tripped if they hit me more than once.
Xorv I actually agree with you about Mastodon.

All Mastodon is pretty bad.
Also moshing is fun. Who goes to a death metal show to "dance around"? If you just want to sit in a chair and listen to the music, you can do that at your computer.

You seriously have the most backward tastes. No lie. When you say you like a specific album, I avoid that album. Not saying any of this is bad; it just always seems as though my tastes (and others' here) are the exact opposite of yours.
