math rock?

 

is this a very percise music? or what?

 

Math rock is a style of rock music that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterised by complex, atypical rhythmic structures, stop/start dynamics and angular, dissonant riffs.

I only know Meshuggah, and it's really not my style, so I haven't even heard much of it. It's metal, but you may want to check them out.

 

Thanks

In a way, math rock is similar to post rock. It is mostly instrumental too.

From allmusic:

Math Rock is a relation to post-rock, a better known indie-rock style that shares similar aesthetics. Where post-rock has distinct jazz influences, math rock is the opposite side of the same coin -- it's dense and complex, filled with difficult time signatures and intertwining phrases. Also, the style is a little more rockist than post-rock, since it's usually played by small, guitar-led bands. Math rock peaked in the mid-'90s, when groups like Polvo and Chavez had small, dedicated followings among indie rockers on collegiate campuses.

 

Math rock is on my list of genre's to explore, I haven't got it it yet or I'd help you out.
