The only thing that is in 4/4 is the crash cymbal. As I stated, this is polyrhythmic or polymetric music. The other instruments and drum notes are playing different rhythms/meters over the 4/4 crash, and everything revolves around it until all meters even out.
You're all obviously ignorant about music composition or won't listen to these 'wankery' bands to get it. This club is put in a box, and it does not deliver the goods. It's as shallow as a toddler's swimming pool. You guys think music is something that it's not. It's not a RPG circle-jerk clique.
I've said all I need to say, and what you really need to do is smoke a big joint and listen to a Meshuggah album. May the metal gods have mercy upon your wretched souls.
Oh boy, I could understand your defensive stance on Djent if you were not so utterly ridiculous expressing your opinion. Just because your music is in reversed augmented 7/58, that doesn't mean it's good. And I am even a fan of some djent bands that sound promising to me like TesseracT, Vildhjarta, Drewsif Stalin's Musical Endeavors, some Periphery, Meshuggah and I won't say Animals As Leaders because I don't consider them Djent, and even Tosin Abasi denies that. Also, if Djent's fanbase is made of people with a similar arrogant mentality, man, I would be ashamed to play Djent.
And also, it shows a weak and closed mind to restrict your taste to Djent, a cheesy subgenre which is nothing but a metal fashion (in my opinion it is metal, I'm sorry if you don't agree Metal Hell members) that will end/ is already ending. And the truth is, most Djent bands are just copying Meshuggah or themselves with typical groovy tunes with odd time signatures, chaotic sound and some jazz licks that eventually start sounding the same and getting laughable. Nevertheless, I must admit that most djent guitar players and drummers have astounding skills, badly availed, but astounding.
It's totally the same shit that happened with mallcore, nu metal and well well, we must admit it happened with almost every single metal/fake metal subgenre. What is good about it, is that only the good and original bands will survive.
It's also very disrespectful to diss the tastes of others, and if you don't feel comfortable here in Metal Hell, you have a quick, easy and functional solution: leave it and live a happy and fulfilling life.
Also, you lost your credibility when you said all we need to do is smoke a joint and listen to Meshuggah, yeah because the only bloody way you can enjoy Djent is on drugs... Please dude... That's such a childish attitude. And what the actual fuck are those metal gods you talk about, are you 14 years old? Because that's the kind of shit I would say if I was 14 years old... I even prevented myself from responding to you when you were defending Djent expecting you wouldn't be such an arsehole about it. I was wrong, just fucking leave this place, you're a plague.
