      Part 2013 of this epic n-part adventure!

      As with the previous thread, this is a place to discuss musical releases from this bold new year. So, is there anything you're looking forward to? Anything you love that's already out? Anything absolutely terrible? Speak your minds!

      There's a lot I'm looking forward to this year. So far, I'm keeping my eye on:

      ! Dillinger Escape Plan
      Exhumed
      Kongh
      Rotting Christ
      Suffocation
      Portal
      Intronaut
      Kvlertak
      Devin Townsend
      Carcass
      Toxic Holocaust
      Skeletonwitch
      !T.O.O.H.!
      Triptykon
      Absu
      Godflesh
      Cynic
      Gorguts
      Mitochondrion
      Cobalt
      Coffinworm
      Ghost

      The only thing I know that's come out in the past few days is Fen's latest album Dustwalker. I didn't even realize these dudes had anything in the pipes. I just put it on recently and have yet to finish it, but it's shaping up to be one tough slab of 2013:

              Kongh's latest album, "Sole Creation" just leaked and holy Zappa is it good. I've only gotten one listen in, and it's different from my expectations, but still amazing. It's a long way to the year's end, but this is another strong contender already. Here's the clip of one song the band premiered at the end of last year. None of the rest has made it to youtube yet:

                  I'm not really sure if I'm looking forward to anything this year.

                  Music has seriously been disappointing me this decade. It's as if we can't get out of the 60's, 80's, and 90's era. I have haven't really been hearing of anything new.

                  Last "new" thing that I've enjoyed was Kendrick Lamar's Good Kidd Maad City and Kid Cudi.

                  Perhaps the only thing I'm looking forward to is Atoms for Peace, but even then, it's still the same ole electronica music we've heard in the aughties era.

                    What kind of music do you like? I can't imagine you can't find anything to like.

                      I like all kinds of music:

                      I love Rock: From Korn to God Speed you Black Emperor, to Radiohead to All Shall Perish, from MGMT to Grizzly Bear.

                      I like Hip Hop: From Kayne West to Nas, to Kendrick Lamar to Kid Cudi

                      I love soundtrack music: From anything Trent Reznor as created to Thomas Newman. Can't forget Stewart Copeland.

                      I love Trip Hop and Electronica: From Bjork to Massive Effect, from Amon Tobin to Nero

                      I love jazz: Beck Brothers especially.

                      Point is… I haven't found anything that screams new! I'm getting pretty bored and disheartened. I dont wanna keep hearing the same stuff! The last time I've heard rock be drastically new was when nu metal came on the scene.

                        The thing with new and interesting music nowadays is that it's out there and not that difficult to find. You just need to put a bit of effort into it. Interesting things are happening all over every genre thanks to the speed of communication nowadays. Bands have exposure to a greater range of influences and can take those in to their styles. At the same time, other bands can use the database of what is available to hone in on a more personal sound or sharpen what exists. While there aren't as many new genres per se, there are many unique, difficult to classify and/or just standout good bands.

                        If you're giving me the whole decade to look through, fuck there's a lot to choose from. Rock-based stuff is my domain (mostly metal), so here's some stuff from that area and after 2000 that's unique, not too far underground and quite awesome. Stop me when you've heard this one before:

                        Dredging random stuff off the top of my head. Maybe I can gather some more stuff for you later, but the point is that music is thriving now more than it has ever been.

                            I have no doubt that you're right… But I also think that in the decades 1PceXperience mentioned there was sort of an accelerated development of music. But I would chalk it up to technological inventions such as amplified, recorded and synthetic music. Well, it started earlier than those decades, like in the 50's or 40's.
                            Man, me, I'm so oblivious to current music it makes people sad and cry. 😢

                              1pcexperience there are a lot more genres you could easily get into and most of those bands you listed were the most obvious choices possible… "from nas to kanye west to kendrick lamar to kid cudi?" Google good hip hop and you'll immediately find those. You can't really say you know much about a genre if what you know about it is pretty limited

                              anyways

                                Thanks everyone for sharing your music and trying to help a fellow music lover expand on his horizons. I have listened to each song that you've listed for me and have a comment to make on each of them. I will address each of your songs below using quotes, but first…

                                I just want to outline the core issue that I have. I have no problem with finding good music from new bands/artist. If anything it's hard not to find good music nowadays.

                                The music you guys shared with me was good, but I'm not looking for good music. I'm looking for new music! The list I provided of my taste was just about 5% of the artist and bands that I enjoy. There's PLENTY more where that lists comes from. Anyways let me address each of you individually.

                                @Wagomu:

                                The Devil Townsend Band: My God! I had a blast listening to this. god knows I wasn't expecting to hear bluegrass in the mix either. Very excited to have been exposed to this song. Thx. While it was fun, it wasn't the first time I've heard a band performing a song with multi plus genres. Back in 2008 I was jamming to the Mars Volta**.** There song "Day of Baphomet" is a 12 minute ensemble that switches from hard blues, flamingo, and jazz.

                                Lightning Bolt Dracula Mountain: It's a cool song to just zone out to. Lightning Bolt reminds me of Buckethead and bit of Slipknot.

                                Convergence Sadness Comes home: The problem I have with a lot of heavy metal bands is that they're either hit or miss. When they're hit they get my blood rushing. Mudvayne and Lamb of God always get me going. When they're a miss… it's just too boring. I wasn't really feeling this song.

                                Xiu Xiu Chocolate Makes you Happy: While the artist himself may not be that mainstream, the song pretty much sounds like it is. It created this image in my head of hipsters with short shorts on riding around in a video with excessive solar flares.

                                Alcest Sur L'Ocean: It's okay. If I were driving in the car and this song came on, I'd keep it playing. It has such an early 90's feel to it, and not the kind I'm too fond of. If I wanna enjoy some slow tempo tunes I'll listen to GSYBE or something along the lines of Apollo Sunshines' "We are Born When we Die"

                                Thanks again for sharing

                                Stone Sour RU486: I like Stone Sour… Corey Taylor is a beast, but I'm WAY much more into Slipknot. Now I know that Stone Sour is a more tamer version, but I already listen to bands that fill that crave. American Pearl is one of those bands I speak of.

                                River City Extension Down Down Down: Not really liking this tune. It's not rubbing me the right way. I do like those kind of somber chipper (I know that sounds like an oxymoron) songs though. "Catch Yer Own Train" by the Silver Sea is a song of this category that I'd chose to listen to. Walkmen is also a good band.

                                Gojira Explosia: YES! Very good song! The drums and the bass really got my adrenaline going. And that breakdown 2 and half minutes in? That totally sold me on this song. Seriously a good share! Thx 🙂 I do already have a lot of bands like this in my arsenal though. Fall of Troy and All Shall Perish are just a couple to name. Oh and Otep. Can't forget about Otep!

                                Witchcraft Deconstruction: I see that this song is from 2012. This is exactly the issue I have with bands today. This song is just a complete rehash of what we've heard since these past two decades. Please music.. give me something fresh and new! PLEASE!

                                @Bucephalus:

                                1pcexperience there are a lot more genres you could easily get into and most of those bands you listed were the most obvious choices possible… "from nas to kanye west to kendrick lamar to kid cudi?"

                                You definitely got it wrong. I only listed a couple of hip hop artist that I like. You assumed that that was my boundaries. I grew up listening to Big Daddy Kane and Pete Rock.

                                Trust me dude. I'm a young black male, I've grown up in an all black neighborhood where I went to all black schools my entire life. I also attended an HBCU for my college education. I grew up with my peers arguing over hip hop politics.

                                "Biggie is better than Tupac" "Immortal Technique and Papoose is proof that underground is better than mainstream" "Dipset goes harder than G unit" "Big L is the most underrated" "Jedi Mind Tricks and Non Phixion are the truth" "We need a group like the Fugees and A Quest Called Tribe to come back to save hip hop" "Wu Tang will forever be the greatest" "No one gives MF Doom his props"

                                Trust me pal. I know my hip hop and most of the new cats are just rehashes of the 90's era. Joey Badass is a prime example of this. I'm not looking for good artist. I'm looking for new ones. The only ones that have really added a new flavor this decade are Kendrick Lamar, Kayne West, A$AP Rocky, and Drake.

                                    i honestly think the only 'big' hip hop artists who didn't basically rehash something from previous decades are Spaceghostpurrp (ASAP Rocky and Main Attrakionz can be thrown in here too, but ASAP fucking sucks and he stole his whole shtick from Spaceghost), Lil B, Zeroh, Shabazz Palaces and maybe Kanye just in the limits of sampling. And really creating something new in hip hop is incredibly difficult so I don't really know what you'd be expecting in that respect.

                                    As for electronica and rock, I don't really know why ANYONE who would ever think there isn't new stuff going in those genres.
                                    Jazz, I guess, yeah, but that's sort of past its hay day. Check out Colin Stetson and Albert Ayler. They're good and sort of new I guess.

                                      I forgot all about Spaceghost. A$AP did take away from his whole swag.

                                      Electronica music always evolves due to the freedom artist have with incorporating abstract sounds into their music, but it has yet to evolve to anything new. Last time I've heard Electronic music push forth in boundaries was Amon Tobin's "ISam" album released in 2011.

                                      I really haven't heard anything new from rock. I've heard rock bands implement more sounds within their music but not anything I can consider new. Animal Collective is getting close tho

                                      I will check out the artist that you've recommended. Thank you for sharing 🙂

                                        Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to sound hostile.

                                        Animal Collective has had an excellent run for a pop band (Sung Tongs, Feels, Strawberry Jam is one of the finest trios of records ever, not to mention Person Pitch which is amazing), but with Tomboy and Centipede Hz sort of sucking, I wonder if they have peaked already.

                                        Electronica is always awesome: check out Chuck Person (or Oneohtrix Point Never, his main project), Tim Hecker, Leyland Kirby/the Caretaker, Hype Williams, Bvdub, Deepchord, Andrew Chalk, ECO VIRTUAL, d'eon, Jar Moff, 骨架的, (everything past here is awesome instrumental hip hop/electronica) Flying Lotus, Shlohmo, Teebs, Clams Casino, Keyboard Kid, Samiyam, etc.

                                        At the moment Rock is a big melting pot of genres, but I think it's producing a number of fantastic bands who reinvent and mix together styles like shoegaze, dream pop, garage, punk, surf, pop rock, drone, etc. for some really interesting music

                                          What do you mean by not being new? I almost never listen to a new band and say "I've heard this before". Maybe it's just a different state of mind. Sure, some things may sound similar but nothing is really able to be completely new nowadays.

                                            @1PceXperience:

                                            Thanks everyone for sharing your music and trying to help a fellow music lover expand on his horizons. I have listened to each song that you've listed for me and have a comment to make on each of them. I will address each of your songs below using quotes, but first…

                                            I just want to outline the core issue that I have. I have no problem with finding good music from new bands/artist. If anything it's hard not to find good music nowadays.

                                            The music you guys shared with me was good, but I'm not looking for good music. I'm looking for new music! The list I provided of my taste was just about 5% of the artist and bands that I enjoy. There's PLENTY more where that lists comes from. Anyways let me address each of you individually.

                                            The Devil Townsend Band: My God! I had a blast listening to this. god knows I wasn't expecting to hear bluegrass in the mix either. Very excited to have been exposed to this song. Thx. While it was fun, it wasn't the first time I've heard a band performing a song with multi plus genres. Back in 2008 I was jamming to the Mars Volta**.** There song "Day of Baphomet" is a 12 minute ensemble that switches from hard blues, flamingo, and jazz.

                                            Lightning Bolt Dracula Mountain: It's a cool song to just zone out to. Lightning Bolt reminds me of Buckethead and bit of Slipknot.

                                            Convergence Sadness Comes home: The problem I have with a lot of heavy metal bands is that they're either hit or miss. When they're hit they get my blood rushing. Mudvayne and Lamb of God always get me going. When they're a miss… it's just too boring. I wasn't really feeling this song.

                                            Xiu Xiu Chocolate Makes you Happy: While the artist himself may not be that mainstream, the song pretty much sounds like it is. It created this image in my head of hipsters with short shorts on riding around in a video with excessive solar flares.

                                            Alcest Sur L'Ocean: It's okay. If I were driving in the car and this song came on, I'd keep it playing. It has such an early 90's feel to it, and not the kind I'm too fond of. If I wanna enjoy some slow tempo tunes I'll listen to GSYBE or something along the lines of Apollo Sunshines' "We are Born When we Die"

                                            You'd best clear the corn out of your ears, son. If you want to find the new, you've got to look for the new. You only reviewed the music you were given based on taste, but what did you find in it? It seems like you were only searching for connections to what you've heard, which is a typical thing to do in addressing new experiences. Everything has a foot stuck in the old, that's inevitable. We build upon our influences.

                                            Of course the Devin Townsend works in a prog framework, but its unique embrace of styles gives birth to a variety of new sounds, which he's expanded upon witin his own discography.

                                            Lightning Bolt isn't the first aggressive band. They aren't even the first band to attempt a deconstruction of musical conventions (I don't know where you see Buckethead, since the dude's a virtuoso all about conventions and Slipknot is structured as hell). What the band does do is go a step further than anyone else. They strip off structure and sound altogether, rebuilding rock purely with sweat, noise and rhythm.

                                            Converge are a band that have been a huge influence of metal and hardcore throughout the 00s. This song displays their idiosyncratic sound and approach to songwriting. They use dissonant melodies and technical instrumentation to make a sound that's intelligent, well-built and incredibly aggressive. Not only that, but they aren't afraid to reach outside and freely pull from other styles to bolster their own. This song runs their chaotic technical hardcore up against some really heavy metallic bluesy riffs which works to the benefit of both parts.

                                            I'll grant you that I picked a more accessible Xiu Xiu song, but what you missed by convincing yourself that it was just being any other indie band is that it was working against that in a very subtle and unique way. The song is overly-sacchrine, with touches of sickness on the edges. They apply principles of dissonance to paint a smile so hard it disturbs you. This fits well within the song's themes of delusion in bulimia.

                                            Alcest's sound works together a post-punk sound with metallic touches and influences to create… atmosphere? And a unique on at that, too. They're a perfect example of a band that can invert their influences and apply the sensibilities of certain music to places one would dar not fathom they could go. The fact that you were hard-pressed to describe it is a proof of their success.

                                            Now I don't want to get into a discussion on each individual song. What I want you to take away is that there are a lot new and interesting things going on in music and that you might just not be seeing the forest for anything but the postcard you bought at the gift shop.

                                              it is sort of naive to expect new genres to just pop up out of nowhere, but I can sort of feel him on the hip hop comment. Hip hop is at this weird, awkward transitionary stage right now and it doesn't really have any idea what it wants to be. Something will develop soon though.

                                                "No music is never really…new" I hear this phrase at least once a month.

                                                How I define, or rather, how I perceive new music. To me, new music is not defined by the little intricacies that musicians place in their music to make it different than their peer's. To me new music is all about the embrace!

                                                A musical embrace is about the embrace of a certain attitude while creating sounds that match up to those attitudes

                                                Grunge's Embrace: Grunge is like the embrace of expressing one's feelings and frustrations while simultaneously being nonchalant about them. It's not about forcing you to feel a certain way. They're guitar solos could be symbolic of a weeping guitar.
                                                Nu Metal Embrace: These guys want to be heard! They aren't nonchalant. They embrace the angst side of life. Being pushed to the edge and still being ready to come back for more. They have a grudge against the status quo, and yet, at the same time they manage to fashion pop culture without seeming hypocritical. They're sound was eerie and had a low tone to it while managing to stay upbeat.

                                                !

                                                Click this spoiler if you want more examples of musical embraces:

                                                ! A tribe Called Quest: These hip hop heads embraced community. They showed us the urban world and urban politics. At the same time they were about fun and being chill. They were attributed with a mellow and high pace sound.
                                                ! Gangster Rap: This side of hip hop embraced the grittiness of the ghetto. It focused on the surviving through poverty and doing things (no matter how bad they were) in order to progress. They're sounds were aggressive.
                                                ! Industrial Music: This genre embraced noise. It presented the chaotic side of life in an orderly society. It was about release and exploration.
                                                ! Shock Rock: It was the embrace of eccentricity while at the same time it was the embrace of patronizing a specific attitude within society.
                                                ! Trip Hop: It was the embrace of beauty within a somber world.

                                                Music to me is more about the emotion rather than the structure. What type of feelings can we explore. What are the different ideas and attitudes we can embrace. THIS, a new embrace, is what I'm waiting for!

                                                Many of the music you guys have suggested, while they do indeed sound different from their peers, doesn't reveal to me a new embrace.

                                                Honestly, the only new embrace that I've seen this year, comes from a "new" sub genre, that one can hardly say produces good music. Actually… you could even say it sucks. The genre is called tumblr something [forgot the proper title LOL]

                                                !

                                                @Bucephalus:

                                                Why is it naive to expect a new genre, when new genres have been surfacing all throughout the past century? New genres have been popping out "from no where" for the past 100 years.

                                                I also checked out Colin Stetson. Dude is a straight up beast! Wish I'd heard of him earlier. I'ma look at the other artist you recommended later on today

                                                @Wagomu:

                                                You'd best clear the corn out of your ears, son. If you want to find the new, you've got to look for the new. You only reviewed the music you were given based on taste, but what did you find in it? It seems like you were only searching for connections to what you've heard, which is a typical thing to do in addressing new experiences. Everything has a foot stuck in the old, that's inevitable. We build upon our influences.

                                                Of course the Devin Townsend works in a prog framework, but its unique embrace of styles gives birth to a variety of new sounds, which he's expanded upon witin his own discography.

                                                Lightning Bolt isn't the first aggressive band. They aren't even the first band to attempt a deconstruction of musical conventions (I don't know where you see Buckethead, since the dude's a virtuoso all about conventions and Slipknot is structured as hell). What the band does do is go a step further than anyone else. They strip off structure and sound altogether, rebuilding rock purely with sweat, noise and rhythm.

                                                Wagomu, you're getting it all wrong. The songs you gave me were indeed different from the bands that I labelled. My point is that with the songs you shared, they give me that feeling that "I've been here before". There's nothing wrong with revisiting a musical threshold, but I'm looking for a place that I've never (musically) been before. A new embrace.

                                                I never said that Lightning Bolt was the same as Buckethead, or at least that wasn't my intentions. Lightning Bolt reminds me of Bucket head. To me they embrace the ideas of "voidness" and "attractive noise." That's not to say they're the same, but they do put me (emotionally) in the same world.

                                                  Not sure I quite understand what you mean by that embrace stuff… :S But maybe I can entice you with some Alva Noto? He and some others on his label Raster Noton are sort of a sub genre of a sub genre of electronic music called glitch. Kinda droney and minimalistic... I've always though they sound pretty new. 🙂

                                                  This is from 2001, but he's still releasing new albums, last one in 2011 and I'm hoping for one this year! 🙂

                                                    I don't know what to say besides your definition of new being entirely odd and wrong. You're working with incredibly general swathes of experience, taking the first things you heard as the originators. Nu metal takes its shtick from grunge and rap and grunge takes its shtick from metal, punk and alternative. Punk, alone, was embracing the frustrations of life, angst and feelings before Kurt Cobain ever picked up a guitar. Before punk did that, folk brought those elements to music. Mind you that any of these attitudes have been covered already within most contexts, excluding time-specific problems. You can't be singing about life in the ghettos until they're a thing, otherwise you're just going to sound like Neil Peart on one of his better days. Otherwise, it's folly to think that musicians will ever invent a new emotion, that's not their job.

                                                    What makes music different is the way that it presents emotions. I can guarantee you that I could give you a Mountain Goats song more pissed off than any punk you've listened to, except you won't hear anything as loud and chaotic in its sound. That's the key, sound. Genres aren't just built on the emotions that go into them, but the sounds they use. Those big additions take a long time to start up and a longer time to be recognized. Electronica truly started around the 50s, but it took a couple decades for it to actually turn into anything. Thinks like metal and punk were recognized rather early, but that's because they were really just offshoots of rock and seen as nothing but sub genres until about a decade later each and are still considered part of rock.

                                                    If you're going to talk about structural versus emotional changes, music needs to lay down new architecture before it can actually gain a large new palette for expression. It's similar to how science requires math to lay down more groundwork to expand further at a certain point. That usually comes with advances in instruments and technology in sound. A genre, though, is a large-scale movement. There are tons of bands already paving the way to the future, like the examples I provided for you. The thing with music in this day and age is that there are so many people exploring in every direction, which makes it hard for genres and scenes to form, but is wonderful in terms creating overall diversity and giving birth to a clutch of unique new faces of music. You've just got to be willing to find them and acknowledge the perspectives they bring.

                                                    Long story short: all the emotions have already been invented and music's mission has always been to cast them in different lights. Modern music's been doing that in spades, you just need to open your mind to it.

                                                        can't think of anything that could be deserving of more hype this year (or for the next decade, really)

                                                          I've never been able to get into shoegaze. People seem to like it a lot though. I'll try listening to some stuff by My Bloody Valentine and see if I like them, since they seem to be pretty popular.

                                                            I still need to listen to Isn't Anything and Loveless.

                                                            But whatever, I'm sure I'll give this album a listen.

                                                              Loveless is an absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word. Just fucking perfect.

                                                              The new record is really great too; quite pleased.

                                                              I usually don't call an album AOTY so early on in the year, because that's stupid, but this is a pretty high standard to surpass. Then again, the Avalanches might have a new one (probably not) up their sleeves.

                                                                    Nu Metal Embrace: These guys want to be heard! They aren't nonchalant. They embrace the angst side of life. Being pushed to the edge and still being ready to come back for more. They have a grudge against the status quo, and yet, at the same time they manage to fashion pop culture without seeming hypocritical. They're sound was eerie and had a low tone to it while managing to stay upbeat.

                                                                    Nu Metal was the sound of a bunch of hilarious angry pouty white boys who wanted to be as tough as those scary gangsta black people they deep down resented, so they played really clownish metaly riffs and rapped horribly, and have left an incredible mark as the unquestioned music of choice for manchildren and anime music videos everywhere. Nu Metal is Ziggy Sobotka writ large.

                                                                    It is officially the worst genre on earth.

                                                                    Why is it naive to expect a new genre, when new genres have been surfacing all throughout the past century? New genres have been popping out "from no where" for the past 100 years.

                                                                    Because they don't spring out of nowhere. Everything new is built on top of the old. A process of sorts always leads to the new, and usually at first it sounds similar to the old and by the time it sounds new people don't even remember the early stages.
                                                                    Name one genre that popped out of nowhere. Seriously.

I swear that I've never seen a genre spawn its own replacements for "genres that define bands no one likes." Hair metal, nu metal, groove metal, metalcore, deathcore and now djent share the exact same fanbase or their generational equivalents: bros who want to be extreme but not so extreme as to defy social convention or some form of religious law.

                                                                      In 2013 news, the new Kongh album was officially released today and it is still soooo goooood. I'm awaiting my vinyl copy eagerly.

                                                                        Not to mention that Jonathon Davis did the theme song for Snopp Dogg's reality tv show back in the day.

                                                                        Let's not forget Limp Bizkit who did a collab with Method Man and Xzibit.

And Nu-Metal sat on the edge of the table drawing awesome gundam designs and vaguely urban grafitti looking things, and every once in awhile glancing down the table with slight fear. But everyone got to see him sit there and that's all he wanted (wait till dad finds out!). Also they took his pringles but that's alright. 😊

A genre that otherwise wouldn't ordinarily be caught dead with Nu Metal except that it could create crossover to suburban white kids by doing so at the time? Mostly through artists who were starting to or had already begun to wash out circa 1998 or so?
                                                                          Nu-Metal relied everything on hip-hop letting it sit at the cool kid table a little while. Meanwhile Nu-Metal is somewhere in the negative numbers in regards to how relevant it ever was and is to hip-hop.

                                                                          Honestly, those nu metal "pouty white boys" gave rock some swagger.

                                                                            How does this analogy of your's explain the supposed resentment that nu metal bands have towards "gangsta" black rappers?

                                                                            First off, every musician rides the under guise of something. As for nu metal I'm sure the whaling vocals, the screeching guitars, and the somber lyrics made it obvious that they were riding the guise of metal; not hip hop. Anytime I played a song or I showed a band's performance to someone the response was always the same: "Oh you listen to rock?" "Oh this joint kinda got a beat to it. I kinda fucks with it". No one's reaction was "this jawn kind of remind me of hip hop"

                                                                            I have a feeling you're focused more on Rap core than you are Nu Metal.

                                                                            In a documentary it was explained that Korn (godfathers of nu metal) just played what they had heard on the radio (Hip Hop and rock included). They further elaborated that they were from a small town, so the DJs at the clubs never had thought to discriminate between genres. There was no hip hop club and down the street a rock club; they just played it all together in one setting. Korn did the same and that's how nu metal came in focus.

                                                                            Nu-Metal relied everything on hip-hop letting it sit at the cool kid table a little while.Meanwhile Nu-Metal is somewhere in the negative numbers in regards to how relevant it ever was and is to hip-hop.

                                                                            LOL… what?

                                                                            Honestly who... who associates nu metal with hip hop? I don't anyone who does. Maybe you do... but I don't.To me Nu metal is always rock. Black people in my life (from the old to the young) lump all rock music together. No hip hop head I know associates it with hip hop; only as rock music. If anything, the only rock band that was given a pass and that was tolerated was Linkin Park. Even then it was "Linkin Park is the only rock and roll band I listen to". So all this shit about it being relevant to hip hop.... was it ever supposed to be?

                                                                            If you think Nu-Metal has swagger and you're over the age of let's sayyy…. 15, take a good long hard stare in the mirror.

It takes the basic sound of metal I suppose but then takes it away from the feel of it so it's closer to punk and rap and that kind of stuff, or at least that's my understanding. I don't imagine it's popular for fans of those genres either. Hasn't Korn used Scrillex in their music as well? I've heard nu metal described as "metal for people won don't like metal".

                                                                                How does this analogy of your's explain the supposed resentment that nu metal bands have towards "gangsta" black rappers?

                                                                                Oh I'm just basing it off the usual profile of such cross-cultural bandwagoneers. People who go slumming rarely have respect for the slum y'know. On the flip side they have a similar relationship to Metal where these dudes put on lame masks and hope they come off something similar to freaky Swedish murderer bands.

                                                                                First off, every musician rides the under guise of something.

                                                                                Is it usually so horribly lame though? We have to ask ourselves that.

                                                                                As for nu metal I'm sure the whaling vocals, the screeching guitars, and the somber lyrics made it obvious that they were riding the guise of metal; not hip hop.

                                                                                What about the rapping, the large amount of hip-hop guest artists you mentioned. The cover art and titles like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Dollar_Bill,_Yall$ etc. They are kind of like people too lame for either one sorta. Also I think "somber" is too stately a word for anything ever written by a Nu-Metal band frankly.

                                                                                I have a feeling you're focused more on Rap core than you are Nu Metal.

                                                                                I could have a go at either the Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park/Korn side of things really. It's because I know so much rap I'm spearing in that particular direction I guess, that doesn't mean Nu-Metal has no sins against Metal, because if you haven't noticed the Metalheads are circling this discussion like vultures.

                                                                                In a documentary it was explained that Korn (godfathers of nu metal)

                                                                                Which reminds me, have they found Jonathan Davis yet? The Hague has had that warrant outstanding for at least a decade now.

                                                                                just played what they had heard on the radio (Hip Hop and rock included). They further elaborated that they were from a small town, so the DJs at the clubs never had thought to discriminate between genres.

                                                                                Since when was Bakersfield CA a small town? It's the 9th largest city in California! Also are you trying to pass of some crap about how Nu-Metal was the first time someone hybridized rap and rock? Because.. 1. Holy lol no. 2. Nu-Metal is not hybridized rap and metal so much as it's someone picking through their dumpsters without their permission and making a sculpture out of banana peels and gum wrappers.

                                                                                There was no hip hop club and down the street a rock club; they just played it all together in one setting. Korn did the same and that's how nu metal came in focus.

                                                                                Savannah fuckin' Georgia had a swath of different kinds of clubs, I'm going to go out on a wild limb and say a city about three times it's size in the much more culturally accessible realm of California damn well isn't as you or Davis is describing it.

                                                                                Honestly who… who associates nu metal with hip hop? I don't anyone who does. Maybe you do... but I don't.To me Nu metal is always rock. Black people in my life (from the old to the young) lump all rock music together. No hip hop head I know associates it with hip hop; only as rock music.

                                                                                My point exactly. But I DO (or did, no one gives a fuck about this music anymore lol) know people the other way around! Which is a whole heap of my point.

Their album in 20…11 I think it was? That was by far the best release that year. They're a perfect outfit and I am pretty goddamn pumped for more.

It's making me seriously consider importing it in from Sweden, but Sweden still hasn't gotten to me on my copy of that Kongh LP (last I heard from anywhere, the package was stuck in Poland (I double checked, and the note says international could take 6-10 weeks, what the hell is that?).

The link puts it better than I can, but this EP is composed of a couple doomy tracks from the Phantom Limb days and was released as a tribute to Pat Egan from Relapse Records, who recently died, leaving behind a wife and a daughter. All proceeds from this EP are going to his daughter's college fund and helps support the family of a man who was very instrumental in bringing a lot of underground groups to the attention of the metal community.

                                                                                                      Basically, Pig Destroyer does doom for a good cause. Get on it!
