A influência do djent sobre a produção de músicos brasileiros de heavy metal.

Abstract

This work aims to verify how djent, as a subgenre of heavy metal, can influence the productions of Brazilian musicians who are part of this scene. To this end, there was a need to carry out a historical contextualization, so that it was possible to understand the origin of heavy metal, as well as the emergence of djent, clarifying the relationship between the two. This research, therefore, used bibliographic and documentary sources - foreign, due to the scarcity of Brazilian academic works on this topic - and semi-structured interviews as data collection instruments. The information obtained points to the musical elements that are part of djent's stylistic framework, which emerged from several processes of stylistic transgressions carried out by musicians associated with the subgenres of progressive metal and metalcore, which originate from heavy metal. Furthermore, the data collection carried out clarified the most relevant names for djent at a global level and at a local level, in the case of Brazil. When it comes to the heavy metal scene in the country, there is a shortage of artistic works that adopt the djent syntax, with the bands Vistalism and Odeon being the most prominent. Finally, through interviews and analysis of excerpts from songs from two different bands, it was verified the presence of musical resources that constitute the stylistic framework of djent, as well as the use of these in order to highlight typical rhythmic cells of musicality originating from Brazilian genres.
