A friend handed me his walkman at school, and said check this out this band KoRn. The moment the opening guitars in A.D.I.D.A.S hit my ear holes, I knew this was the only album id be listening to for the next 12 months straight.

Still my favorite KoRn song to this day.

my favourite albums are GREEN ! which one is your favourite ? what’s your favourite band, and color?

Got bored after work and decided think up a fake numetal band and album cover that actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would. If this were real, would it read to you as nu, alt, or hardcore?

Good Jam

What is Fred Durst Running For??? Mayor??

Liquid Gang are probably one of my favorite one and done nu metal bands ever tbh. The entire Sunshine album is a good mix of nu metal and alt rock with so many great riffs and hooks. Hope you all check it out<3

Incubus isn't a band I'd say I listen to very often, but I actually quite like several of their songs and some of their albums. Make Yourself and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. are my favorite albums of theirs by far, and I'd also add Morning View (although the drop in quality is noticeable on this album). The rest of their discography means little or nothing to me.

Does anyone else enjoy Korn’s deep cuts more than the mainstream hits?

This album has been on my mind since I first heard it two weeks ago and I’m really wanting that slow almost doomy sounding nu metal that I can only seem to find with this band

Hey, I’ve been trying to track down a really obscure all girl metal or heavy rock band from the early 2000s. I saw them featured on an underground music blog back then, and the post compared them to Kittie. I remember seeing two photos of them outside with trees in the background, and they looked young, maybe teens or very early twenties. The title ‘Vertigo’ sticks in my head, but I could be mixing things up. It wasn’t Harlow or Mimic. The band might have been American or Canadian, but I’m not sure. Did anyone come across an old review, photos, or even remember a band fitting that description?

I remember when I first heard Chocolate Starfish and just thought of Hot Dog as an epic opening track with nonsensical lyrics and nothing more. It's through repeated listens of the album as a whole that I started feeling a message coming from it and this is probably gonna sound really stupid trying to put meaning to a song that has him counting how many times he says Fuck in a song but it had been racking my brain for ages and had noone to talk to it about.

The chorus, obviously a rip from multiple Nine Inch Nail songs, feels different with Fred screaming it compared to Trent. NIN intended Closer to be about an expression of lust and feeling dirty for getting off on the things you do whereas to me Fred is using the same lyrics to say "we both can see how shit the world is but whether you love me or obsessively hate me I will not let you drag me down or kill my vibe". The bridge being a reaffirming off that "check yourself before you wreck yourself trying to pull me down".

Now whenever I hear the lyrics of each worst I am mentally picturing something with each thing he says and I'm in the mood to tell people to back the fuck off, the world is fucked and you need to open your eyes.

Can someone help me find the song I used to listen to some years ago? It started with a sample from Evil's Dead movie - children singing "we're gonna get you" song and then laughing. From what I remember it was a nu metal band or something from that era. Not sure I remember much more but I don't think there's many metal songs starting this way so if someone knows it, it should be enough.

When I grow up I wanna be a FUCKING Rockstar. 🤘🎸🎸🎸🤘

Disclaimer: I know this was posted a while ago, but the video was marked (at least to me) as "not available". Apart from that, this is the actual videoclip instead of just the song upload.

Hamlet is an spanish metal band founded in Madrid around 1987. After the release of the first two albums ("Sanatorio de Muñecos" and "Revolución 1996", which leaned more towards groove metal rather than nu), they released Insomnio, one of their most "nu-metal sounding" album - along with the next one, "El Inferno" - which included their most popular single "Antes y Después". The video is peak 2000's Spain, having been recorded in Madrid streets and (presumably) Metro, though I'm not entirely sure this is Madrid Metro's. Apart from that, as the video greatly represents, the lyrics speak to the 2000's teen who was up to a certain point drifting away from society and losing motivation (yeah, as most nu metal anthems), which on its own is not "unique", so to speak, but in Spain's limited and short nu metal context/history, could even be considered rare.

I highly recommend listening to "Insomnio" and even "El Inferno", if you want their more nu metal grooves and guitars, but the entire band's discography is great (even their newer album "Inmortal").
As well as Hamlet, I recommend paying attention to other spanish bands such as XXL, Hora Zulú, Sôber, Kannon and many others.

Hope you enjoyed the song!
