News: got-djent.com new web site for fans of djent

A great web site/portal includes forums for fans of the nu metal fusion of djent.

What is 'djent'?  http://got-djent.com/
Bulb (a.k.a. Misha Mansoor) says it best: "The onomatopoeia of a heavily palm muted distorted guitar chord which is usually played as but not limited to a 4 string double octave powerchord, and as a result sounds much more metallic and sonically present than a 'chug' 'chugga' or 'djun' per se, and which is basically how Periphery would describe its palm muted guitar sound."
Lately, the word (if you want to call it a word), coined by Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah, has also been used to identify bands that incorporate this in their music. Some would argue it is growing into a genre of its own; others disagree and go by Bulb's definition, or refuse to use it altogether.
At any rate, djent has gained a lot of momentum on the internet over the past few years, and many new interesting bands and projects have sprung up. While a few of these bands have enjoyed mainstream success, 'djent' itself is still relatively unknown.
