Nu Metal Thread

[C.M. Shaddix]

Using this thread to discuss the metal genre that combines alt rock, hip hop and rap with metal to make a new sound "new metal" or "en you metal" as I like to clarify it as. Now of course many fans of regular heavy metal call this a kid metal genre as I heard but I am a big fan of it as I am a fan of regular heavy metal.

Bands include:
Korn (the pioneers)
Linkin Park (first 2 albums)
Disturbed (1st album)
Trapt (1st album, actually kinda only Headstrong)
Drowning Pool (1st album)
Coal Chamber
Limp Bizkit
System of a Down
Papa Roach (first 2 albums)
Taproot (some stuff)
Chevelle (some of their stuff)
Staind (Torment, Dysfunction, Break the Cycle and self titled)
Static-X
Slipknot
Mushroomhead
Deftones
P.O.D.
Dope
Hoobastank (early stuff)
Cane Hill (new band, check em out)
Powerman 5000 (most work)
Of Mice & Men (3rd album onwards)
and lots of other bands

Rage Against the Machine is not considered Nu Metal, it's Rap Metal, I highly reccomend this band called Cane Hill, they can possibly start of second wave of Nu Metal with their upcoming album "Smile".

Not really into this genre, used to like a few bands when I was younger but quickly grew out of them. SOAD and Static X aren't bad though.

 

[Rogue]

Nah nah NAH.

 

[Black Wizard]

I like Coal Chamber, SOAD, Static-X, some songs from Slipknot's self titled and Iowa, Deftones, and Dope's first album.

Used to be one of the elitist metalheads as a teenager and absolutely hated nu-metal besides the stuff I listed, but anymore I don't care. I'm not going to bash anyone for their tastes.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Early LP was dope.

 

[Black Wizard]

 

[Rogue]

Early Deftones(White Pony, B-Sides & Rarities, and Diamond Eyes to an exent), SOAD, and old Slipknot are about where I'd draw the line.

 

[Swift]

Actually, I kinda like Slayer's Diabolus In Musica. It's very Nu-Metal-ish but still pretty dark sounding.

 

[Black Wizard]

I like some later Deftones, but they're never going to make anything better than their first couple of albums. I loved Diamond Eyes though, and Koi No Yokan had some good songs too. I don't like Gore all that much though, and apparently Stephen Carpenter doesn't either.

 

[Solid Snake]

Idk if Breaking Benjamin or Three Days Grace fit into this group but yeah >>>





What about 30 Seconds to Mars?



I'm really not sure what is considered to "have rap" unless it is obvious like Mike in LP or Limp Dipshi--- lolol

 

[Rogue]

Still listen to this song quite a bit. Maynard<33

sadly not, well Thirty Seconds to Mars doesn't anyway, 3DG and BB i'd put them as some influences from Nu Metal

 

[Roadster]

Deftones were cool.

 

[Black Wizard]

^Indeed.



This album was good, but the new one is pretty meh IMO. Listened to it once and have no real motivation to listen to it again.

 

[Black Wizard]

Also slightly off topic so forgive me, but @C.M. Shaddix do you like deathcore? Usually isn't a far stretch for nu-metal fans to also be into deathcore.

If so (or anyone else who might be) would really love some bands that sound like old Whitechapel. I'm not much of a deathcore fan at all, but I really dig Whitechapel's early stuff. Not a fan of their new stuff or any of the bands that basically copied Suicide Silence, I don't like them.
