Metal/Rock/Industrial The metal thread \m/

I dunno 'bout you guys, but I stay away from childish NU Metal crap !!!!! :):)

Personally I loved it back when I was a teen. I don't listen to it much nowadays but when I do I generally enjoy it and get nostalgic. Deftones are the one band from that era that I go back to regularly

I know I'm probably late to the party but I just discovered Frog Leap studios and goddamn these dudes make songs go hard



Fuck a preworkout I threw this on to break a deadlift PR and when I opened my eyes I realized that I was still in the gym parking lot and that it was my truck I was deadlifting.
 
what year where you born?
I mean unless you were born in the 70s, then nu metal adjacent stuff was more than likely part of the first stuff you got to hear when you pursued metal music.

Not all of us had older brothers that made us only listen to nwobhm, etc.

When I was trying to find metal music, I found Pantera, White Zombie, Metallica, Megadeth, Korn, Deftones and so on waiting for me, and took a look at everything.

And yes, I still do love alot of the stuff. Even if for nostalgic reasons, but I can acknowledge that there's aspects of the music that is done really well in spite of it being a stripped down version of what I usually like.

There is an art form to that.

When I got older and got way more deeper into metals history, the next generation of kids found slipknot, Killswitch engage, etc

I thought all that shit sucked when I heard it, but of course those kids were just like me, those were the bands there at the time that helped them become metalheads.

It is what it is. I don't care if people wanna listen to nu metal. But that scene as it existed before is something different now. It's more like Metalcore or Deathcore has taken its place. And this stuff seems a lot worse haha.

There was alot of interesting shit going on in the 90s, that has fallen out of favor today.

Very experimental and not following at all the rules of 80s heavy metal

I guess some would call it Nu metal or Alt metal or Groove Metal. But this is much different, darker and not so stripped down like typical Nu Metal was.

Karyn Crisis one of the very first woman to do growls in heavy music and I used to have that Skrew album and jam it all teh time. I actually like the first three Otep albums. A little known fact is that Joey Jordison (Slipknot) played drums on the House of Secrets album on tracks (2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11) now before you start chirpin I know Otep as a person can be quite polarizing but it's just a case of separate the art from the artist. I honestly don't like anything after the Ascension album.
love this tune.

Yeah I think you age can really matter in these types of cases if you were a 90's kids like us then you where kind of engulfed in it. I like you had an older sibling (sister) who was listening to Kill em All and she had some Judas Priest and Ratt and stuff like that so that's how I got my start at a very young age with trash metal then death metal then I found Pantera and they blew my mind. I think a lot of the Nu Metal stuff stands the test of time for the most part and there are still some bands implementing it into their sound ala Tallah, Slaughter To Prevail, Code Orange etc. I still like to go back and listen once and awhile I think Korn has put out some of their best work in recent efforts but I will always be a Trash/Death/Groove metal guy at heart. After that it was Melodic Death Metal and OG Metal Core.
 
New BAEST coming out August 15th. This song rocks:


weirdest stylistic change for a band I have ever seen It's like they went into a time machine and went back to the late 70' and early 80's and I don't like it. It's so weird to just come out one day as a completely different band. GIVE ME BACK MY OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL

LOL! I actually fucking love it, but yeah shit starts off sounding like AC/DC. DEATH & ROLL!!!

We'll see how the full album is. I loved that last EP Justitia which wasn't exactly Old School Death Metal either.

Lori bravo probably came before her, but she was good.

I always felt she didnt do everything great, but she was fucking unique and did alot of memorable shit on that Deathshead Extermination album...but the music of the players... is fuckin awesoome, listen to the bass work, fuck. Sinister shit.

I LOVE Skrew's first three so so so much. That Angel seed one didnt do shit for me though, and then they came back as average black metal. Just not interested in that.
