oh god no!
Seventeen webisodes for a 10 track album.
what is up with this nu-metal resurgence? Ozzfest 2000 rejects like Slaves on Dope and Methods of Mayhem are getting back together, Adema’s original lineup is back, and Dope is still making albums! What’s next, a Neurotica reunion tour with the Union Underground and Apartment 26?
zzzzzz. Rasputinmetalguy nailed it! Maybe we’ll get a Coal Chamber reunion soon….
I think Union Underground would actually headline that show. And don’t forget about inviting 40 Below Summer, Reveille, and Flaw (I think they’re still around too!).
Oh yeah and you know they won’t still be doing nu-metal. They’ll refine their sound to fit in with the new sound, and it’ll sound forced and half-assed most likely.
lol Flaw is still touring. Their original lineup just started pounding the road together again. I just shot them not too long ago. I agree with most of those bands you said, I can’t lie some of their songs I was bobbing my head too at the early 2000′s Ozzfest. But I will say dope has come a long way. Virus is a mean guitarist, their drummer Angel can get insane too. But I do understand why most don’t like those bands. Sadly that’s what brought me into the metal scene. I’ve since learned the ways of better but I will have a soft spot for some of the NuMetal bands of past. Sadly.
yeah, I started out on Korn and Limp Bizkit. If not for Reign in Blood and the 1st Slipknot album, I’d probably be stuck in 1998.
firstly, shock that page no longer in blue. still remember when prp was known as PimpRockPalace. not so keen on the communist style layout too, especially the logo that look too similiar to GNR Chinese Democracy logo. BUT nonetheless, a change that long overdue. Rock on.
and yeah, agreed. if not for Korn, Limp bizkit, slipknot and the rest of my long BELOVED NU METAL bands, i still be stuck with big hair bands.
Agreed, bands like those brought me into the metal scene as well. After the better part of a decade, it’s amazing to look back on how lame and uninspired so many of those nu metal bands actually were. But I still have my own soft spots, ’cause it wasn’t all bad. I still occasionally listen to Ultraspank and Switched, and actually think that Union Underground CD is still pretty darn good. Good old Southern hard rock with an industrial groove. But so much of that scene was the same: plodding, mid tempo Korn rip-offs with hip hop verses and made-to-order angst. The whole scene succeeded in making anger and rage sound whiny and pathetic. That’s an achievement! LOL
lmao Neurotica…I thought the singer was the dude from Everclear haha. There’s some other Nu Metal failures like Groovenics,Spike 1000,and Videodrone. Then there’s the dudes who knew they had to get away from it and decided to make bands that were way heavier. Like Dez leaving Coal Chamber and starting Devildriver and the guy from Motograter leaving and singing for Five Finger Death Punch. I was a teenager when Nu Metal was huge so obviously Korn and Limp Bizkit were some of my favorite bands at the time (along with bands I actually considered to be metal Pantera,Type O Negative and Fear Factory)….but yeah now that I look back to 10 years ago when I was first getting into Metal music. Nu metal was the shit for me…nowadays it’s nothing but guilty pleasures haha. Then Killswitch killed Nu Metal dead….and then we had metalcore…which I prefer more. But what it comes down to is if it’s heavy and shows emotion i’m pretty much down for whatever.
I think we’re just experiencing a resurgence of nu-metal because everyone from the nu-metal generation is now hearing some of the crap that’s coming out now that sounds like everything else and they just decide to pop in some of their old cds. It’s like spending a day listening to Converge and Cryptopsy, then resorting back to popping in a that Dr. Feelgood album you loved so much in 1989.
Don’t get me wrong though, I still like to listen to Coal Chamber and Ultraspank once in a while, but I’ve long since moved on from horseshit like Limp Bizkit and Reveille. In my opinion, some of the nu-metal bands deserve to come back to give it another college try, but bands like Reveille, Flaw and Primer 55 should probably stay dead.
