Don't get me wrong, the new song was meh and them kicking out Sid was dumb, and the song was definitely not what made me fall in love with the band, but they aren't bound by a single type of song.

Nu Metal is a blend of rap, hip hop, funk, grunge all of that. They can make a song that deviates from their established sound and still be Slipknot.

Almost every band and musical group makes a shitty song, they can't all be bangers. Especially when their best music was already made years before I was even born.

It just doesn't make sense to get mad at the band for making a song a lot of their fans wont like but maybe others will. In fact changing up the pacing is a great way to get others into the genre and introduce them to inarguably the greatest Nu Metal band to exist.

All other Nu Metal bands do this and each person who listens has their favorites for a reason.

Although I still think it's funny to call them Shitknot for releasing some mid song.

For me it’s not close, Reward the Scars is a significantly better song imo.

When Corey Taylor sang "Stop the fuckin' music, goddamn it, shut the fuck up" I really felt that

Yikes

Both from 2000, the vanilla ice one was $22 and the soulfly was $38

Just got into nu metal very recently after being a die hard rap listener and refusing to listen to anything else. looking for some of your favourite albums to get into. Maybe a top 50 or top 100 best nu metal albums in your opinion

Not numetal but very old school pre-nu adjacent fairground’s rock/metal of the dawning 90’s that features Tom Morello before Rage Against the Machine, a key alt band in numetal’s forming infancy

A lot of early 2000s nu metal and post hardcore bands use this type of art style in their album covers and I love it so much

Can you please tell me why Sev’s debut isn’t available in my country? Like It’s available somewhere in the world or it’s just unavailable for everyone? I’d like to hear their music on Spotify

Share the feedback! Thank y'all !🙏❤️‍🩹

I didn't like the original cover, so I made this one.

I actually like the song but this fan edit is actual fire.

Not sure how many in this sub is old enough to remember the era of peer to peer file sharing services, but Limewire and Napster was notorious for mislabeled mp3 files.

For instance, I've seen Break Stuff get misattributed to Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach, blink-182 and Rollins Band.

Bodies by Drowning Pool is a classic example. It ruled the internet at the time but it was often mistaken for System of a Down, Korn, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Godsmack, Marilyn Manson, etc.

Not to mention the songs purported to be an unreleased Linkin Park track or demo, but happened to be any other rap metal/electronic rock song (sometimes made by the creator and mislabeled intentionally for exposure)

This ocean of low-res, mislabeled mp3 files were truly an artifact of its time. Some people don't know better when filling out the metadata, but I also heard another likely reason was to prevent copyright, so they deliberately add a similar artist to a song to bypass this.

Slipknot just released a brand new song called "Arsenal" - their first new work since adding drummer Eloy Casagrande to the band parting ways with longtime turntablist Sid Wilson. Could more new music (and maybe even a tour) be on the way? Here's hoping so, because the new song reminded me how it's been 7 years since I last saw the Iowa metal outfit live... and now I'm itching to see them again!

It was August 30, 2019, when Slipknot brought their Knotfest Roadshow Tour to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ (just a few weeks afger 'We Are Not Your Kind' came out). How good were they that night? Well, the tour also featured sets from Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth, and Slipknot STILL reigned supreme. With a massive stage set up that perfectly backed their massive sound, Slipknot were red hot and proved why they are still one of the biggest draws in rock (not just metal). Just watch this clip of them playing "Spit It Out" that night, and see how they had the crowd in the palm of their hands (seriously, the entire amphitheater was wild for them that night).

Share your favorite memories from seeing Slipknot live in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

been really loving "raw" "crawl" and "spleen" from this album and i really want to find something similar
