Metal Heads Assemble!!

[Frag Mortuus]

"Nu"-Metal bands I actually enjoyed (some of the bands labelled as Nu-Metal by many, really aren't, though. Nu-Metal has a distinct hip-hop influence):

-Chevelle
-Coal Chamber (I haven't actually heard them in years, though)
-Deftones
-Disturbed
-Mudvayne
-The Murderdolls (Another one I haven't heard in years)
-Sevendust
-Slipknot
-Tool

That's the first time I've ever seen Tool referred to as Nu Metal. Which in turn breaks my heart. They are my all time favorite band. I've been a fan since '93 when I saw "Sober" on Head Bangers Ball. Deftones are also up there as one of my favorites.

One band that typically get's referred to as Nu Metal is System of a Down, which I don't understand. They have next to no Hip Hop influence. I guess it is just because they were a new sound that wasn't captured in any other metal genre, so they just lumped them in with Limp Bizkit.

Side note: I got to see Deftones and System of a Down last summer in DC. It was pretty amazing.

More randomness passing in front of my eyeballs to drop into this thread I do not participate in.

lol I love it.

And I know you secretly love metal Hobie.

[Ack]

I much prefer Among the Living for Anthrax to albums like Persistence of Time, but I appreciate the goofiness of it. Songs about horror movies, Stephen King works, and comic book characters make me smile.

Anthrax made songs about horror movies and Stephen King? Maybe I should check them out more. I always liked the bits of Anthrax stuff that made its way to me ("Bring The Noise," naturally...) and I think I generally like thrash stuff. Hmm...

Yeah, the cover art for the album is based on Poltergeist, but I believe the tracks Among the Living and A Skeleton in the Closet are based on King's stories The Stand and Apt Pupil, respectively. I Am the Law is about Judge Dredd. N.F.L. is about John Belushi.

Dammit Bone, stop snooping in my music collection.

Now all we need is a metal song called "Industrial."

This is Industrial, the first song by Renaissance on their Archway demo from 1992.

I was already listening to that!

Found it by searching "Industrial" in the Song Title field on the Metal Archives...

[Ack]

Haha, I also thought about linking to Nuclear Death's song Industrial Song...

There's also the album Industrial by Pitchshifter, which is blatant Godflesh worship.

Eventually Pitchshifter turned into a crappy nu metal band.

I think they even had a song on the Twisted Metal soundtrack.

pulled this Pallbearer album out again tonight, because apparently i like weeping like a destitute wizard alone on his deathbed, filled with regret.
