What Are Some Of The Better Nu-Metal Bands?

Seinfeld26 · **Posted:** Sun Apr 10, 2005 3:38 pm

Since nobody has ever posted a topic like this before, leave it to me to post it. Who does everybody here feel are among the better nu-metal bands out there?

I'd go with System Of A Down and perhaps Soulfly (even though that tribal metal thing has really worn dry).

Yes System of a Down is probably the best. Slipknot's latest album isn't that bad either, easily my surprise of 2004. Their other albums sucks horribly though..

Deftones are probably the best of the bunch, although they're quickly turning into alt-rock anyway.

Candiria are pretty interesting for about half of their CDs, and then they start rapping. :\ When they're not rapping, they play weird stop start jazz/nu-metal/hardcore stuff which is actually quite catchy.

It's a pretty shallow genre, mind you. :lol:

Static-X released one good album, Wisconsin Death Trip. Slipknot's new album is good.

Couldn't care less 'bout everyone else.

Later Slipknot, Amen, Turbonegro are the ones that come to my mind first.

System of a down is probably the only nu-metal band I like more than 1 song from.

Hee hee, was considering having Turbo Negro as my username. Never heard the band but the name is funny.

Amen = Punk
Turbonigger = Rock n' Roll

Amen's Death Before Musick is good and Turbonigger is godly.

System of a Down is the best. That being said, they still are pretty damn bad.

You'd make more sense putting Turbonegro as Turboblack. Because negro translates directly to black from Norwegian.

By the way, if you're looking for good mallcore in what's generally considered as such, go with System of a Down. They don't have any real rap influences, and sound to me more like pure modern metal (hint:not mallcore/nu metal) with Armenian, Arabic, and Judeic scales and influences mixed in. Though, B.Y.O.B.(latest single) sucks badly.

I've listened to a lot of punk before and Amen is does nort fit my definition af Punk.

Turbonegro can be rock n' roll in fact I don't know anything about rock n' roll but I've heard them considered nu metal before.

And Emokid did you hear slipknot's latest album? It's not that bad.
