Just wondering if anyone knows of any Irish metal bands that play with a DJ? I'm a DJ and I'm interested in being in a band would be awesome to hear if it's been done before in the Irish metal scene? Thanks :] :abbath:
Primordial and Mourning Beloveth are the only two I can think of.

Give your man from One Minute Silence a buzz sure.

They never had a dj
Maybe if these guys ever got off the ground:

Isn't there supposed to be a bit of a nu-metal revival going on these days? Could probably find a few people and put something together
Sure Alan Averill regularly gets booked for DJ sets, so the Primordial suggestion is technically correct?

Further to this, some of my old nu metal albums don't sound as bad as they used to all of a sudden

It's what got me into metal so I'll always have a soft spot for it. Those early Slipknot albums get regular spins, American Headcharge, Static X still hold up for me, Korn can sound a bit dated but a few gems scattered throughout

Old Slipknot still holds up these days, as do System of a Down. Snot's debut is also still an absolute banger, although probably not 'nu-metal'
That Snot album is terrible. I can't comment on Slipknot Slioknot i was never a fan. The first SOAD is indeed cool but not one I find myself reaching for.

Ah sure you can't win 'em all.
Not a NU METAL fan at all but, DO IT.
I wonder could you make a really dark metal album with a DJ in the mix, using the sampling element in a non hippity hoppity way and without just doing something triphoppy. Maybe.
Godflesh have (kind of) done that but yeah, Portishead style with distortion would be good.
Chrome Hoof could manage that, with Leo Smee from Cathedral on bass for good measure

Picked up the first SOAD album for a euro a while back and gave it a couple of listens. Not bad but only very rarely would I be bothered. From Toxicity on, I wouldn't go near them. I remember having a scrap with a lad years ago because he wanted to play toxicity all the time and he tried to put it on twice in a row but I could stand no more so I pulled the disc out of the player and threw it at him and we went to slaps over it.

Their best song was the one that never made it on to an album. You could scrap to it and sounds a bit Tim Burton as well

I dunno, sounds a bit pop-punk to me.
I loved the first one when it came out, apart from the vocals. His voice is fucking atrocious, so I was glad when Malakian's vocals became more to the fore. Mezmerise and Hypnotise (keep yer Zs, yanks) were both excellent IMO and it's a shame they lost momentum after that, more in that vein would have been most welcome.
Toxicity and Steal This Album! were awful shite.

Class bro I like their music thanks for the rec :]
Honestly still have a soft spot for Limp Bizkit, which is probably a travesty to mention here. Fred Durst is for kids, but a charismatic performer, and the band are genuinely excellent. Especially Wes Borland with his cool tapped riffs and delay riffs, some really interesting stuff. Thought the DJ stuff worked when he was just adding texture and atmosphere in the background, but the moments he was at the forefront sounded pretty lame and contrived.
Loved the first 3 SOAD albums,guilty pleasure albums I guess.Havebt listened yo them on years now though.
Would liked to have caught them back then in a smallish venue!
