If you say so. Nexttime I will say I don't like polyrythm and do not find it interesting, maybe polyrythm has something to do with why I do not listen to jazz or like meshuggah :lol:. who knows. I have no trouble using the technique regardless not knowing much theory.

I just don't like it and it's annoying to my ears.
 
Meshuggah's actual riffs aren't that difficult, its their complex use of polyrhythms and intentionally fractured timing that makes them so complex and hence, technical.

That's fine dude... I never said that polyrhythms are inherently great. They can be used to great effect certainly. If you don't care for it that's your choice but it still remains that some of the things Meshuggah does at least from the standpoint of rhythm are very advanced for metal music.

Correct... though there is on riff in I that I'm thinking of that sounds insanely difficult to play.

It's probably not all that hard to play Meshuggah by ear, but if you were to try to play their songs off of sheet music it would be insanely difficult.

Yes perhaps... but the intro to I would be very difficult as it is two minutes of the same note in constantly shifiting rhythms... very hard indeed.
 
Ok new topic

Who loves ARCHEON! :)

/em raises hand.

Anyone who hasn't heard them give them a try, they fucking own.

Anyone know any bands that are similiar to Archeon?



Anyone know any bands similiar to "Dark Lunacy". They are death metal, but use a string quartet in their music also.

Take a listen: http://www.myspace.com/darklunacy


Also for fans of Opeth/Symphony X : Persefone : http://www.myspace.com/persefoneband << Awesome band


I also recommend LORDS OF DECADENCE to anyone who likes melodic death metal.

LoD : http://www.myspace.com/lordsofdecadencemetal << fucking sweet ass band

Could anyone rec me some good thrashy power metal* type stuff, preferably with clean vocals?

*I doesn't actually need to be classified as "power", though.

Blind Guardian up until "Nightfall..." is all good thrashy power metal.

Alright, so I have Nile's "Annihilation of the Wicked", where should I head next?

And is Die Apokalyptischen Reiter as good as the few samples I've heard?
