  • Here is the highly requested part 2 of the Djent vs. Thall series. This one is my very first attempt at writing a Thall song. Admittedly, it still sounds pretty djenty because I'm new to this genre.
    I tried harder to make this sound less VSTish and more natural. Leave a comment below if you know how to make bends sound less machine-like. This song has the lowest tuning I've ever done by far, and I think it came out pretty well but there is still progress to be made.

    Not bad by any means, and thall is a “joke” genre technically lol, but thall is more bendy, chugs, and generally more “lively.” I think a lot of people see thall as being very heavy, and it so often is, but that’s not the prime directive. Thall isn’t about breakdowns, but playing on expectations and subverting them. Thall has a groove that dances around a melody chaotically. It’s gotta “thall” if you know what I mean lol. Lookin forward to part three though :)

      A groove that dances around a melody chaotically is maybe the best way I've ever heard to describe Thall in my life. But really, it's just like a subset of djent that uses some really specific techniques and patterns, with an emphasis on a specific dark atmosphere or vibe
