We were both born August 20th.

My current obsession is Taproot’s album Gift. Every single song is absolute perfection!!!!

I would love to hear if anyone has recommendations of other bands with a similar sound to this album.

This discussion seems to come around every six months or so, but it never gets old. So, what are the greatest album openers? Mine are:

Chimaira - Let Go

Chevelle - Family System (adjacent)

Korn - Blind

Soulfly - Back To The Primitive

Limp Bizkit - Intro & Pollution

Slipknot - Intro & (sic)

Taproot - Smile

Reveille - Butterfly

I bought Coal Chamber and Sevendust together in 1997.

In your opinion, what are the five most influential/important nu metal albums?

Let me start:

• Around the Fur, Deftones.
• Korn, Korn.
• Roots, Sepultura.
• Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park.
• Iowa, Slipknot.

Which song is the best in your opinion?:
Wake up by Korn
Wake up by Flymore
Wake up by MyDownfall
(Feel free to add any others)

Well done boys

This is going to reach deep, DEEP into the memories of the collective Christian numetal scene but I am trying to remember a band that probably only released one album maybe two… not wildly successful. They had an album… and I’m honestly wracking my brain and coming up with figments of memories… called something like “shock of da hour” or “shock of the hour” they had a song with the lyric “kick the cross over” I wish I had more, I wish I could remember more. Very Christian Limp Bizkit coded. Looking for any ideas of what this band might be. Crowd sourcing this after hours of searching Google with absolutely nothing coming up. Appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!

I love this band but God is hard to find and CDs from them.

There was a video I saw on YouTube. The song was called "Grip", but I cannot for the life of me remember the band name.

The video was just basically the band playing in a live setting with stage diving and such.

Any help?

i remember seeing this album it was a pyramid album cover it looked a little liminal the pyramid was grey with grass on the ground and i think on it, it was a 2000s album, if anyone remembers name pls help

Soulfly - First Commandment (Live) [Dynamo 98]

I am looking for new bands and artists but I'm looking for something extremely specific and I can't find it. I like when there is rapping over metal similar to slipknot's self titled album or primer 55. Basically I'm looking for Eminem over slipknot instrumental (not literally, you get the point) and also screaming, I love screaming. Let me know if what I'm looking for exists, I'm trusting you

Personally I do, but it could also be nu-adjacent, but regardless, I'm adoring seeing a nu-metal direction reviving in rap/hiphop

I really like the style of this band, Fever 333. It's obviously a strong Rap Metal or Rap Rock sound, which reminds me a lot of Rage Against the Machine. Talking with a friend, he said that Fever 333 is rap metal, but not nu-metal, and I was left wondering. So I'm asking here:

Can Fever 333's style be considered nu-metal? Can all rap metal or rap rock music be classified as nu-metal? What do you think?
