Khaliq's addition of the industrial thread made me notice there is a lack of a thread for another genre. This genre lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This genre we refer to simply as nu metal.

Love it or hate it, you can't deny at least some good stuff has come from it. Of course it also can't be denied that the genre has produced some of the most detested music from the past few decades, but here we'll shine a light on those bands that go above and beyond the genre's call of duty, and surprisingly make some damn good music. So due to it's inflammatory nature it's obvious there will be some...er...dispute about the quality of the whole of nu metal (as a genre), but I also wish this thread to show off the good side of the it as well as the bad. 

Let's start out with something a bit simple. Staind. They were really considered "nu" in their early days, moving on to shift to a more alt oriented output with 2001's Break the Cycle. There are still elements of it on their third album.

Nu-metal did certainly have some great stuff to come out of it, especially Korn and Coal Chamber. I kind of see it as the glam metal of the 90's. Not that the sound is at all similar, but in the 90's, glam was what was mocked and shamed while nu-metal was all new and cool at the time. Now in the 2010's, it's okay to like glam while nu-metal is what's mocked and shamed now. Maybe in the next decade it won't be mocked and shamed as much, who knows?

Anyways, this is of course a classic track:

I can and I will to my dying day!LOL

No, even I have to admit I did like the odd thing from the nu-metal era. There's a few songs from Sepultura and perhaps two from Soulfly. I also had a bit of a thing for Spineshank.

A lot of bands also got lumped in with nu-metal quite unfairly, the most prominent I can think of being System Of A Down. SOAD's music was so different from much of the genre, but just got thrown in there because it wasn't typical metal. It took me years to actually examine them as a band because of the nu-stigma, and I now wish I'd opened up a bit earlier.

Insofar as they even count as nu metal band, I really like Maximum The Hormone.

SoaD are nu metal, people just don't like to call them that anymore because of the stigma.

Mushroomhead were always seen as Slipknot rip offs, but were apparently the older band!

Thought of another couple of bands I liked: Kill II This and Earthtone9.

Unfortunately I've never actually heard of either of those. I checked and Kill is under industrial and Earthtone is under alt. I'll give them a check out and see if this is justified later.

In the meantime, more Staind:

It doesn't really matter what those bands are labelled under. They just got lumped in with nu-metal back in the day. Old school metal fans had a tendency to do that with anything they didn't like.Wink
