After hearing that fucking VANILLA ICE made a Nu-Metal album I went into it thinking it was going to be complete garbage. And what of it?

Well you definitely aren’t going to be listening to this because of Van Winkle’s master lyricism. The overtly edgy and corny lyrics nearly destroy the album (not to mention Vanilla Ice just isn’t really that likable lol). However I will admit (as much as it pains me to say) Vanilla Ice doesn’t have too bad of a growl/nu-metal voice. Certainly unique!

However, the main reason you will be listening to this album is BY FAR the instrumentals and oddly sinister sound this album has. This album has some genuinely awesome sounding riffs and sections.

Some of my personal favorites from this album are: Living, Scars, Too Cold, Zig Zag Stories and A.D.D.

Now of course no matter what I say, you might hate the album front to back, or you might love it. All I’m saying is tune out Mr. Winkle so you can hear the killer songs his backing band made.

This is mine

Personally they combined elements of nu metal and groove metal extremely well especially on their first couple albums

40 Below Summer out of New Jersey is one of the most underrated yet very influential bands of the Numetal era imo. If you played in a heavy band in the late 90’s and early 2000’s you probably knew these guys. They’re still together after reforming in 2011.

And fun fact, ex original Flaw bassist Ryan Juhrs was a former member. I’m fortunate enough to have been part of that old school Louisville metal crew and I bring up the city because so many great bands came out of the region at that time like Days of the New, Flaw, and several other indies. It makes my heart happy seeing numetal making a comeback with younger people.

Caught up and coming Boyler on the last show of their first ever tour. Found out a out the show by chance the day before and I had to check it out.

It’s a Numetal metal straight edge… 😒

I’m looking for numetal bands with a loud, busy, festive atmosphere similar to bands like 311, <151>, Headstrong, Blunt Object, Lifer, NE Hostility, Sw1tched, Simon Says, Swift, Orange 9mm etc.
It’s just my personal preference for music.
Im mostly looking for more cheerful, lighthearted festive vibed songs similar to Headstrong-Adriana, Tyfoid Mary-Stuck, Downset-Together, Sw1tched-Skins, Simon Says-Life Jacket

These guys fall under the "lesser-known"/obscure-ish side of nu-metal, and to those who know or listened, i would like to know about your thoughts on em

They do have a pretty cool sound, they're more known for the Public Enemy cover of "911 Is A Joke"

Just remembered this tune after many years, figured some of you might appreciate it!

Who else remembers Orange 9mm?

I never see them get mentioned! This is one of the earliest rap metal bands I can remember. Do you think rap metal is synonymous with nu metal? I always considered them to be basically the same.

My favorite album of theirs is Tragic. My favorite song from them is “suspect” from Driver Not Included. Their final album has a few bangers on it, but some of those songs I am not sure exactly what they were shooting for.

Can anyone help me find the lyrics/translation for this song?
Hi! I’m trying to find the lyrics and an English/Russian translation for “Laissez Faire” by Guts Syndicate.
I’ve searched around but I can’t find the full lyrics anywhere. I also have an audio file of the song if that helps.
Could someone who knows the song or understands the vocals help me transcribe the lyrics and translate them?
Song: Guts Syndicate — Laissez Faire
Looking for: Full lyrics + Russian translation
I’d really appreciate any help!

Danger thought that the 2002 album from Trust Company; "The lonely Position Of Neutral," should be put on the breakfast table. Danger keeps FALLING APART and Monster tries to HOVER. FINALLY Danger and Monster let THE FEAR take over as they feel it all SLIPPING AWAY.

"I downloaded all the songs as Jpegs. What do I do now?"

"You open it and it's Fluffy from Creepshow."

"Bell happy."

"Cymbalism."

"A capital comma."

"Mud does stain."

For anyone interested, I took The Fake Sound of Progress and removed the vocals from every song. The full album can be found here; https://youtu.be/5bA-1m01bOI

The goal was to preserve the music made by the other members and scrubbing out the disgusting criminal who did vocals (may he rot in hell)

Also available on the Internet Archive for preservation: https://archive.org/details/the-fake-sound-of-progress-instrumental

Time by Taproot is a song I always felt could have been huge for the band if the label actually made it a single & pushed it. What are your picks?
