i’m not sure they’re considered nu metal but the resemblance is big. i think it can be considered nu but even if i’m wrong i’m sure nu metal fans would like ‘em

I’m not talking about your Alien Ant Farms or even 36 Crazyfists, I’m thinking more along the lines of bands like 32 Leaves, Nothingface, Edgewater and 38th Parallel. Anyone got any to recommend? (preferably from the late 90 - early 2000s)

I love both of their styles, my top two bands right now. While i love The Darker Side of Nonsense, im more looking for stuff like Of Vengance and Violence. Stuff like 4039, Caught in the Storm, My Dying Heart, etc. Those deep kick-ass riffs just go so fucken hard.

Pls give recommendations lol i need more of this style 🙏🙏

mainly because it's the worst form of self-own imaginable. Why would you guarantee Metallica and the rewarmed LP $5mm each? Why would you start as a numetal centric festival and then stray so far from the course? I get it, you want to introduce new fans to older stuff, but not at $500 per ticket.

yeah, we did an episode shitting on the lineup, and funnily enough we have one upcoming with the Stepa guys where we debate it and even change our minds a bit, but this feels like a ridiculous miss on the festival's part....HOW COULD YOU BE DOING A NUMETAL FESTIVAL AND NOT HAVE THE SNOT REUNION PLAYING?!//!

any good band/merch shops in Liverpool? heading over soon?

I don't know why I never bothered with this album. I mean, I grew up on this stuff. I bought Follow the Leader the day it came out. And Alice in Chains and Nirvana showed just how amazing Unplugged albums can be. But somehow I never noticed that they need this album and when I did, it never occurred to me that it would be good.

It is truly a revelation. People think of nu metal acts like this and don't consider them to be particularly deep, thoughtful, or prolific writers from a musicianship standpoint. Not to say they aren't great, but a lot of it is just chunky power chords and creepy melodies.

What this album demonstrates is just how well, how deeply Korn understands their own music. Every one of their songs is reworked into something completely different, yet completely recognizable. The album kicks off with a salsa-fied version of Blind. Other songs throw in Japanese koto style drumming, Arabian melodies, jazz, and ominous gothic sounding ballads. Not a single one of the songs sounds like a simple acoustic translation. Each one is enhanced with unique instrumentation, powerful harmonies, additions that are at once new and yet make perfect sense, feeling as if they could have been there in the original versions all along, hiding under all the heavy power cords and thick production and waiting to be discovered.

To make an album like this, even to adapt a single song like this, you need to really know and understand the original song inside out, really know how to shift a song from one genre to another while keeping it interesting, original, and authentic. I'm not just surprised by how good the album is in its own right, but also how well the band surpasses the expectations I think most people would have had for an acoustic nu metal band.

I think its amazing.

I have been trying to find them for so long but they’re literally no where. The song is so catchy too but I cannot understand what he’s saying at all and i’m speaking gibberish when I try to sing along. If anyone magically has these please comment them i’m desperate. 😭🙏

In Cold between the 2:30 and 3 minute mark there is no vocals just the instruments. If you pay attention you can make out someone talking. Anyone know who it is or what they're saying?

Well burned CDs but totally forgot about Stabbing Westward. Save Yourself got most of the radio play back then but they had quite a few great songs. Shame was my favorite.

Honestly, FFTS sounds a LOT like Linkin Park when Chester was alive as a lead vocalist.

I'm mainly linking this to "From Fall To Spring - DRAW THE LINE". It reminds me of one of Linkin Park's albums where some of the songs had similar beat process throughout the song. Vocals are similar, instrument use is very similar too.

None of you have to agree by the way, this is just my first impression.
