Djent Bass Guitar Manifesto

My latest single “Aikaraja” is now officially released across streaming platforms. (Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp etc.) This is a warning shot! I may be known (amongst my seven monthly listeners) as a chill electronic artist with a sensitive piano side, but that is not the whole truth. No, not at all. In fact, I am declaring a war. The era of every reign will face its end some day. It is time to form a resistance. Against what? If you are enlightened woke metal soul like me, you know what I am talking about. They have gone way too far. Yes, that’s right – The Guitars.

Do they really think they can dive deeper and deeper without any consequences? Seven strings used to be cool and heavy, but no, that wasn’t enough. In their greediness they just kept adding more and more strings. Some guitar clowns went even far beyond 8-strings. Is this supposed to be some sort of joke? As I learnt to play bass I cannot even count past ten anymore.

String count eventually became the metric of “how many layers of djent are you on?” but it was only a matter of time for these pitiful fools to invade the sacred forbidden territory. Indeed, The Shrine of Bassists. (As a synth nerd I might not truly represent the collective but after all it is about sharing the pain.) Pandora’s stompbox is opened. It is time to defend and claim our justified territories back!

As a gesture of resistance my song does not contain guitar at all and my solo production will never going to have them in future either! (Totally irrelevant to my guitar skills.) Still, you probably wondered “tHaT sOuNdS LiKe a GuItAr”, but if you open your eyes and ears you can smell it is actually the new generation n-string djent guitars that sound like a bass guitar! Think about it. Your ears have just got used to this ongoing massacre so long that you are not even paying attention to it anymore. This has to stop!
