I wish I knew so I could shoot them.
Metal is a crap genre for retards
Death Metal bands and Thrash Metal bands.
The band that created groove metal was Pantera. Dimebag Darell Abbot pioneered the sound. It was influenced by thrash metal bands such as Metallica, Exodus, Slayer and Megadeth @Can't feel my face: Nathan Gale already beat you to it.
I'd say Pantera. I can't think of any bands prior who were termed as 'groove metal'. These guys created groove metal as a departure from pop metal and glam rock, making metal less 'mainstream' (hair bands were reaaaaalllly popular), and real. Dimebag Darrell (guitarist) was a main influence.
