Due to popular demand, good Nu Metal thread.

Since Cleansing by Prong turned 30 the other day I had it on and if there was ever a lad that could have gone after Nu Metal bands for riff theft it's Tommy Victor.

One for the Korn fans here.
Came across a band called Chaoseum on the YouTube (I cant do those linky things, sorry now)
If ya want to listen to Korn, but not listen to Korn, these are the lads for you.

Davis & Munky'd want to get on to the lawyers with some of the theft there!

  , They're really pulling the piss allright.
Grey Stag are mildly influenced by Mastodon in comparison.

Jeepers, if I had heard Chaotian and didn't know it wasn't Korn I wouldn't have known it wasn't Korn.

Ah lads that's ridiculous. A shit version of Korn, you say? Ah no yer grand thanks the real Korn already have more bad albums than good ones so there's definitely no need for another one.

I called this coming when the last gojira album came out

I actually really liked that album back in the day. Remember listening to it as a teen in the background while reading Resident Evil novels, good times. I'd probably go to this if it came nearby, but post-covid nobody comes to Edmonton anymore. It's like Ireland in the 90s...

I have that album somewhere, digipak job. Didn't think much of it even then, a couple of decent tracks aside.

[Maggot Colony]

New Disease is an absolute banger.

Yer man Garza from Suicide Silence has had a few of the Nu Metal lads on the podcast, and the interviews have been pretty good, worth sticking on for background tv.

I actually like that album about once every five years or so. For what it was it wasn't bad. Wouldn't be going to a show or anything but there's far worse out there

[The Butcher]

I liked that video of Rick Beato dissecting that korn song. Did make me think of it in a different way esp in a post grunge era.

Also made me think there's some untapped potential in that korn sound that even they never fully explored or any other bands after them. Hard to explain because 90% of what you instantly think as nu metal is shite 

[Carnage]

When I heard Korn first I thought it was a revelation. More the production than anything else, the thrash/DM stuff that was my mainstay at the time had become a bit thin by compa4ison, so the bass heavy sound of that first Korn album was very welcome. Even the s/t Slipknot album excited me at the time, it sounded like they were doing something interesting with a death metal-esque sound. Now they (Korn) and the genre itself went to shit fairly quickly when it all exploded, but yeah - plenty of potential, certainly.
