Djent is my very favourite recent musical term, and it's already a dying genre. There's only so long people can be arsed with Meshuggah rip-offs and pretentious music-students bleating on about polyrhythm without understanding what it is, I guess  :lol:

Advertising 101 - give something mundane a flash sounding name and hope people are suitably dazzled and unquestioning :lol:

Oh wait, where have I seen that concerning pickups before....*cough*


"A true beast and heavy as hell itself. Monstrous bass response coupled with mid range grind and bite.
The WARPIG............"

"Chaos in a pickup. No nonsense attitude for huge, aggressive and harmonically rich assault. The NAILBOMB..........."

"The Metal God in a pickup. Serious grinding crunch for the true believers. The PAINKILLER......"

Yeah, I'd wager those were BKP's worst offenses  :P



Rise above the crowds
Wade through toxic clouds
Breach the outer sphere
The edge of all our fears

There can only be one meshuggah, too many pretenders dont seem to realise that.

The blurb on the bk pickups isnt exactly the same thing though, even though I was wrong and isotropic is (an eroneous) term to describe weakly magnetised and de and realignable magnets. The point remains - tim just called it 'aged', which is both simpler and more accurately desctiptive (pickups demagnetise over time), and even said why; to take out boomy low end, the manson page doesnt mention that.

I've always found the stuff on bks pickup pages very much at odds with the detailed and mechanistic descriptions of the pickups sound and how they do what they do that you get from tim directly when you talk with him about them, but one can forgive some hyped up blurb as a lead in to generate some enthusiasm and interest.
