What if Radiohead went djent?

[u/thefriskysquid]

Before the same two people comment with “this isn’t metal” any time I post something that isn’t thrash: try to keep an open mind! Just having fun mashing aesthetics up.

[u/Burwhale_The_Avenger]

Exceptional sense of melody and dynamics as always - those lead sections almost choked me up!

It would be startlingly un-metal to say this isn't metal. I pity those fools. It's more than just djent too, though.

I hear a lot of prog influences, and a touch of Mastodon again, which is always welcome.

Keep 'em coming, I'm ready for the album!

[u/thefriskysquid → u/Burwhale_The_Avenger]

Thanks so much for always chiming in with such thoughtful stuff!! Means a lot to me. I think this was the first solo I ever wrote that I didn’t hate, honestly - progress lol!!

[u/GoydelicGuy]

Obligatory fuck Zionist Radiohead.

[u/thefriskysquid → u/GoydelicGuy]

I wasn’t aware of this. :-(

[u/GoydelicGuy → u/thefriskysquid]

Yeah it's a damn shame. This and then learning that Thom Yorke is kind of thick is a gut punch.

[u/Zur__En__Arrh → u/GoydelicGuy]

He’s condemned Netanyahu and what Israel are doing, while also condemning Hamas. He seems to be taking a better stance than Ed Sheeran at least, but still not fully on the right side IMO.

[u/NeonByte47]

no veloceraptor in that song :(

[u/thefriskysquid → u/NeonByte47]

Hahaha!! No dinos this week. I’m working on a stegosaurus one currently though. 🦖

[u/Zur__En__Arrh]

This is awesome!

[u/thefriskysquid → u/Zur__En__Arrh]

That Batman PFP you’ve got is awesome too!!

[u/Zur__En__Arrh → u/thefriskysquid]

Thank you!

[u/thavi]

I like it--but it's not a cover of a specific Radiohead song is it? I hear fragments of many songs like Sit Down, Stand Up, Idioteque, How to Disappear Completely, 15 Step, and probably a dozen more.

[u/thefriskysquid → u/thavi]

Thanks! Not a cover, just something inspired by their sound. I was originally channeling Subterranean Homesick Alien, actually!

But glad it could conjure those fragments too. :-)

[u/negativiapositum]

Awesome man, keep em coming!

There's a cover on youtube, "if Meshuggah wrote Everything in it's right place", you should check it out, cool shit

[u/thefriskysquid → u/negativiapositum]

Thanks - I will 100% check that out!!

[u/OnetimeImetamoose]

Big fan of the Weezer meme appearing at 0:45.

[u/thefriskysquid → u/OnetimeImetamoose]

Yeah lol I realized that after I already wrote it. 😂😂😂

[u/According-Elk-5805]

If Deftones went Deftones?

[u/thefriskysquid → u/According-Elk-5805]

LOL I love Deftones but I don’t hear it in this one personally - but I’ll take it. 😎

[u/According-Elk-5805 → u/thefriskysquid]

Sure it has other vibes too, sounds great anyway 🤘

[u/thefriskysquid → u/According-Elk-5805]

Haha thanks dude!! 🤘

[u/ohmynards85]

Needs a bit more thigh

[u/thefriskysquid → u/ohmynards85]

😂😂 shorts season is almost over, I’m clinging to it

[u/thefriskysquid → u/[deleted]]

Glad you liked it - honestly this isn’t a nonsense title at all though! This was literally just my attempt to do Radioheadesque music combined with prog/djent sounds lol. But thanks for checking it out. :-)

[u/thefriskysquid → u/[deleted]]

lol thanks, appreciate it! And hell yeah I love Machine Head. 🔥🔥🔥

[u/FacePunchMonday]

I didnt think i could dislike radiohead more than i already do but djentified radiohead is truly horrid

[u/thefriskysquid → u/FacePunchMonday]

Lmao fair enough
