I bought their album a couple of days ago actually. Its worth it. Not the best thing I've ever heard for a few little reasons (Orchestration sounds pretty, crap. Like an average £100 keyboard from Argos, plus his shouts/screams aren't my favourite) ... but they have MASSIVE potential. Definately looking forward to their future stuff.
I was on their last.fm page the other day too. Quite a few people are criticising similar things, but the band have posted saying they're considering it all and are planning on making their next album much more awesomerer (Better orchestration, Longer songs etc.)

Agree with above, the idea isnt 100% there yet, but its got awesome potential.
I tried doing this a few months ago and it came out pretty cool (orchestral djent), but I didn't really follow it up, and have never been really successful creating orchestrations anyway.
Still gotta digest this but I'm already looking forward to their next album once they give their sound a bit of time to develop.

I'm not sure if I have a totally different definition of djent than you but I can't hear anything djenty in that clip. It's more like just ordinary symphonic metal. I'm not dissing it though, just saying I can't detect the djent in it

Dunno, my definition of djent is that kind of rhythmic, often-odd-time-signature, low-tuned, drums/bass/kick playing the same thing type of music.
Altho by that definition Bring Me The Horizon are djent.
So I don't know :/

Yeah it's a tricky freakin' question/definition. I have never thought of djent that way, where the kicks and guitars/bass play the exact same thing because that happens in many other genres too. I think of djent more like a type of sound of which is defined the most by the guitars. Metallic guitars that have that certain growl to them, or the very famous "BAUOOOW!" as I kept saying all the time before
I'm aware that djent is originally just a way of palm muting but these days it's like a whole freakin' genre. And of course, polyrhythmics contribute to the djent factor but I don't see it as a neccessity.But anyway, I would still say your clip is more like "orchestral metal" or something, while Xerath still is "orchestral djent" though. If you listen to their song "False History" and notice how the guitars are played and what type of sound they bring to the table... well, it just makes me stamp that "Djent Approved" logo on it haha. (As a side note, I'm not in any way claiming to be a djent guru, this is just my skewed definition of djent ... so far)
Edit: Well, the intro isn't that djenty on "False History", but the verse is very djenty! That's strange huh... haha, well as I said... my definition
Come to think of it though, Xerath doesn't have that insane metallic growl in the guitars so it's not really THAT djenty after all. But I guess it's the rhythm that makes up for it, and thus, I agree with what you said about the kicks/bass/guitars playing the same thing.
