Hate towards nu-metal

[Sophii]

There's other examples
Like the aptly titled "Back The Fuck Up." If thats not nu metal, then I don't know what is. The single Linchpin too.

well B-Real is on that track and i guess that makes it nu-metal? Because again, all i hear is the Fear Factory sound when the rapping is gone. Does Ice Cube having Korn on one of his tracks on War and Peace make that album nu-metal also?

 

[Sophii]

I wouldn't say so, no but thats not the only example I have for Digimortal being considered Nu Metal.
I'd just give the whole album a spin to decide that for yourself. Its def a nu-metal release to me, and probably their last.

well based on the songs you linked me to i can see why some people might think there's some nu-metal influence there. But after hearing those im almost sure it's not a nu-metal album. It's not a primary subgenre for any of their albums on RYM, UM has them as "Industrial/Death Metal (early), Groove/Industrial Metal (later)" and Discogs doesnt have the album you mentioned labeled as nu-metal either.

 

[Sophii]

-shrug- Works for me I guess. They did drop any sense of Nu-Metal element, whether big or small, after Digimortal anyway. Archetype is void of any Nu-Metal, probably more towards Alt-Metal, and I know nothing about Transgression.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Havent heard any of that stuff. Didnt know what to expect when i gave some of their newer stuff a shot but Mechanize was cool and The Industrialist is aright. Demanufacture will always be my favorite album form them.

 

[Sophii]

Demanufacture is an important record I think. Before that, no one had done what Fear Factory had done. Hell I'd say that with Soul of a New Machine as well.

This is fucking embarassing. Rob Flynn has always been a poor excuse of a human being, but this is was a whole new low.

 

[Sophii]

Robb Flynn is a dumb trend follower.
Edit: so am I

The badness of this is so bad it's, I dunno, it's really bad.

 

[Sophii]

Robb Flynn should have stopped when he left Vio-lence

well Machine Head were one of the first "true" Groove metal bands. But yeah, everything he did outside of Vio-lence is pretty much grabajé

 

[Sophii]

I didn't mind the first Machine Head album. It doesnt have that bad of riffs. But anything and everything after that has proven to be garbage.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

as a long time Vio-lence fan .... i personally cant stand that album or the direction him and later Demmel decided to take.

 

[Sophii]

Can't blame ya there. No matter what, Machine Head is a massive plummet into SHIT compared to what was done on VIO-LENCE.

I like Obsolete and Digimortal but there were definitely nu metal leanings. Check out Edgecrusher from Obsolete.

I used to enjoy Chaos AD, but cant really listen to it anymore

Edgecrusher was definitely the first track that leapt to mind

are you implying Chaos AD was nu-metal?

 

[Allfader]

Chaos AD was very groove oriented and simple as shit. There are almost no riffs. The drumming/percussion is the only thing that holds the album together.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

that album was the beginning of their downfall. Still, there are some enjoyable tracks on there.
