Due to popular demand, good Nu Metal thread.

nu metal wishes Chat Pile were nu metal

This is the long and the short of it really. Hear far more in common with the likes of Scratch Acid/The Jesus Lizard, early Melvins, early Nirvana than nü gear

[Eoin McLove]

Ah it's in the mix, particularly in the jangly riffing style. Maybe it serves to highlight the influence noise rock had on the Korn guitarists' style. There is a similarity between the two.

As for Incubus, they were all ferocious musicians.

I watched that whole Hellfest gig and yeah it was absolutely brilliant and I'd seen the indoor one that ducky posted as well which was also great.

There's definitely a bit of the old nu in their sound there's no denying it's an influence but there's a bit more there too for sure

[astfgyl]

Speaking of Incubus, I got a copy of Science in dealz in Sligo one day having not heard it for years and it's very enjoyable but I don't like anything that came after

[John Kimble]

Think the bassist from Chat Pile is a big Korn fan. There's definitely a few Korn moments on the last two albums but they're fleeting enough. Mind you, I hear more of a Helmet influence tbh but I suppose it's all connected and I reckon the Helmet sound was more influential on nu-metal than given credit (if you could call it that) for.

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

Jees, I'm liking this a lot

A big crowd for this type of band no?

[Squigs]

Outbreak is fairly massive and always has a good mix of newer bands, with prob some Euro exclusive reunion tour or album anniversary sets etc. Knocked Loose headlined this year and are about as big a band in "hardcore" (don't come for me Jamie) as there is at present, along with Glassjaw doing a Worship In Tribute set. "Hardcore" (please, Jamie, spare me!) is fairly massive at the minute too.

[Squigs]

Plus Chat Pile rule and have been steadily building their name over the last few years, with a lot of cross-genre appeal.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, I'd agree with what folk seem to be saying: their overall sound feels like they prob share common influences with nu metal, more than like they were influenced by nu metal (a bit of Gangsta Fieldy love notwithstanding). If I had to throw up a wild comparison just for laughs, I'd say they sound like a gang fight between Godflesh and Propaghandi.

[Squigs]

They're fans of Korn, its in the DNA of their sound, but that doesn't default it into nu-metal. Regardless, they're class.

I heard Godflesh & Shellac in their sound
As well as what little I know of Korn

I probably sound like someone who'd say " ... and Metallica sound like Iron Maiden, but American"

First time listening to them, really liked it. I can hear a bit of a numetal in some of the riffs alright, but Mr Bungle was the first thing that came to mind

Sikth - The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild.
Great album.

[open face surgery]

There's a blast from the past. I have that at home as well.

Sikth - The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild.
Great album.

They supported Akercocke on a mini tour of Ireland one time, such an odd pairing!
