Ah wait, I forgot about Kittie!

Edit, I just listened to Loaded by Pulkas on YouTube. I can't remember ever hearing them back in the 90s but I remember them being promoted a lot in MH. As far as that stuff goes they actually sound half decent. Probably more of a Prong buzz to it, or a bit of noise rock in terms of the jagged riffing, but you can hear the noodly, squealy Korn influence in the mix a bit too. Definitely not the worst going from that song. Bit of Tool in the mix as well which was common back then.

One Minute Silence get a lot of stick but they've plenty of good tunes after the first album, which is bad

Not sure they fully belong in this thread but I watched most of the Chat Pile set from Hellfest just now. Very very entertaining stuff. All kinds of snippets of stuff was coming to mind. The guitarist was working overtime to wrangle so many sounds out in every song. Like Korn if they were a noise rock band maybe? Bits of At the Drive-In, Rollins, Patton, Dylan Moran, The Cure in a couple of places, Killing Joke, Mark Normand, Unsane, the singer's moves reminded me a bit of Sleaford Mods but in a kind of hardcore context... probably much more on top of that. The between song talk was very funny and the tunes were incredibly catchy. Impressive.

They're not exactly nu metal but there's a bit of it in the sound. Great band though, would love to catch them live. Must check out that set if it's on YouTube. Mate who doesn't even like them saw them lately and said they were brilliant

Edit, the lad in the Korn shirt isn't doing anything to dispel the accusations lol

Chat Pile are lethal.  Never seen them live though but haven't heard a release I didn't like.

Dylan Moran and Mark Normand due to the banter? Weird placement of both names.

[Eoin McLove]

  yeah, just the nuttiness of the dude. His banter and demeanor.

[open face surgery]

Intrigued by that. Their music never blew me away by any straight but that may bring it together. The beauty of the game.

[Eoin McLove]

Exactly. I listened to bits and pieces before and it didn't really grab me but live they are another proposition. The singer's presence and humour takes it to another place for me. Also watching the guitarist do his thing is impressive. Kind of had a feel good buzz to it for me actually.

This is lethal footage of them altogether, enjoyed it more than the Hellfest vid.

[Eoin McLove]

Were Orange 9mm nu metal? Or a type of hardcore? I had two of their albums back in the 90s and liked them. Haven't put them on in decades now and probably wouldn't be too arsed with their upbeat style, but they were far from terrible.

I also loved the early Incubus stuff, Enjoy and SCIENCE were on heavy rotation in the 90s. I revisited SCIENCE in recent years and while it was fun and every song was still stuck in my head, I found that the enjoyment (heh) wore off pretty quickly. Fond memories but as with much of that stuff, for me it's better left in the past.

Incubus have (or at least had) a lethal rhythm section.
