Are there any other metal bands similar to quot;Mudvaynequot; where you can hear the vocals clearly, metal bands. hearing a blurred metal band is annoying, but Mudvayne is really crisp. I was hoping to locate some music similar to them. Any suggestions?
Nu metal, otherwise known as new metal, nü metal or aggro rock/metal, is a musical genre that emerged in the late 1990s which fuses influences from grunge[1] and alternative metal with funk music, hip-hop, and various heavy metal genres, such as thrash metal and groove metal. Nu metal music emphasizes mood, rhythm, and texture over melody and complex instrumentation. Often, nu metal songs use rhythmic, syncopated riffs played on distorted electric guitars with strings detuned to lower pitches to create a darker and more thick music than regular mainstream music.

Nu metal in its simplest form is this; It has chords in no particularly inspiring progression. The lick from the guitar that used to form the hook is now done (poorly) with the singer's voice who can never master all 8 notes of a Key. The lyrics when boiled down to its basic meaning is this: I have a wife who loves me, two healthy children, a good paying job with benefits that I actually enjoy going to every day. Everybody in the immediate and extended family is healthy, but life still SUCKS and I hate myself and want to kill anything of beauty or value or innocence.
1. Nu Metal 672 up, 395 down The boy bands of metal. A form of music with repetive and irratating riffs, deridable forced angst lyrics, bad singing, and an undeniable lack of talent. It is a trend among Hot Topic sheep goths, steroid addicted jocks, and 10 year olds who just have been introduced to MTV. The music is commercialized, fake, and mixes metal with forms of rapcore and bad alternative rock. Bands include Slipknot, KoRn, Cold, etc. If I want to listen to nu-metal I'll make a cheap riff, talk about how my 'soul is raging', and get a corporate producer! Turn that ------- ---- off!
It was kinda a NEW type of metal in the 90s, because it was mixing metal with alternative rock and rap together. I'm pretty sure Linkin Park and Korn were some nu metal bands in the beginning of the new genre.
Metal + hip hop influences + downtuned guitars Did you seriously not know? Nu Was THE mainstream rock of the late 90's.
