This is my first ever iceberg. it hasn't been too long since i started listening to nu-metal, so this might not include some obvious bands i have probably no clue about.

The most unknown here is Broad Noodles with 8 listeners on Spotify (I didn't measure the whole iceberg via Spotify listeners). iirc a member from the Further band formed it.

Edit: I could've also added EASTcide, Absence and Rukus. (I only know the last 2 because of some compilation video on YouTube including a live of LeFT)

The intro for this song is one of the coldest ever.

If we wanted to keep it short and objective then obviously Hybrid Theory was very well produced and executed for a debut album, instantly made the band mainstream (not just in terms of metal but genuine mainstream) and its still their most played record.

But I want to hear your subjective opinions on each one aswell! Im interested in what yall think; who had the greatest sound, who went downhill after their debut, who had a weak debut compared to their later discography, etc. Personally, my current favourite album out of these is Adrenaline by Deftones, just because I think there are very few bands/albums which replicates this vibe. But I personally like all of them.

Also if you could give me a song thats underrated in your opinion off of these albums Id appreciate it

This album absolutely slaps, it is such a fun experience. Its like if Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, POD had a kid and added a bit of pop punk to it. This album has a summer flare to it, but what is most unique is the mix/production. It has such a massive mix, almost stadium rock sound, as if Mick Gordon or Buster from Humanity las breath/Vildjharta worked on it. Check out the song JUNKIE$ or SUPERSTAR for a taste, but you will get hooked.

I keep asking different people I know and they keep saying different things
One of them even said it was hardcore punk with “metalcore influences” so idk what they’re on

They are good, but there are too many new bands influenced by the deftones

Chevelle has the same atmospheric element as the deftones, but the sound is completely different.

Is there a new band like Chevelle?

any sort of similar sound because I'm curious

Hey there! I'm new here so hopefully I won't be mauled immediately. So, the discussion here is about LeFt's album and a few songs. I listened to "My Disease" and... I don't catch the praise that album gets. I'm not saying it's horrible but "Not Afraid" and "Sore" are the only songs I truly liked. Meanwhile..."We Deliver For You" was absolutely AMAZING. I don't mind listening to lower quality songs since I actually love listening to old demo tapes/releases uploads on YouTube. Out of all the songs in WDFY, I only disliked three. I don't know why "My Disease" gets so much love and recognition while WDFY gets NONE. This is an AMAZING album in my opinion. Drop y'all's thoughts down too!

Now for the songs, I know there are two unreleased songs from an EP, but If I recall, there's a remix of "Pointless" somewhere, I heard it once but can't find a lone upload of it. If someone can provide a link or explain what it is, I would appreciate it it

im trying to look for a nu-metal song I heard on youtube a few months ago, it had a female singer, some furry oc as the thumbnail, and the only lyrics I remember was "And whose gonna save me? No-oow."

You know those parts in ADIDAS from Korn and Science from SOAD that sound almost Turkish/Arabic? I have no idea, but I absolutely love them and I would definitely listen to whole songs that sound like that. If you know what I'm talking about, do you have any suggestions or what I should look be looking for?

"I see guns and I see hazing
I see guns and I see hazing
I see men locked up in a shack
Many other guns pointed at their back
Who pulls the trigger on the innocent?
Got something to do with the way tax money is spent
Is this some government tragedy?
One more step between you and me!"

judging by the lyrics it sounds like execs but I really want to know the actual event and the context behind it. likely something in-between 1970 and 1999 in the USA

Nu Skool Rap Rock

I’ve been listening to these dudes for a bit and I absolutely love the EP. But there is one problem, I CANT FIND THE FUCKING CD ANYWHERE I LOOK!!

If any of you guys have any known places or sites to get it that’d be really appreciated.

Nickel should be a lot lower but whatever lol
