Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Nu-Metal is essentially a mixture of several different genres (most notably Grunge, Hip-hop, Alternative Metal, Rap Rock and Groove Metal). It is characterized by downtuned guitars with liberal use of palm muting, vocals that range from screaming to rapping (often in the same song), stop-and-start driving bass with a "funky"/slapped quality, hip hop-influenced drumming, varying degrees of electronic manipulation and roughly equal prominence of all instrumentation. The lyrics usually focus on personal crises and painful experience.
Its exact origins are generally agreed to start with the band Korn, whose surprise success in the mid-1990s caused a wave of bands to play a similar style and get massively popular with MTV audiences despite a lukewarm critical reception. Many of the early bands were from California, like Alternative Rock and Alternative Metal. The producer Ross Robinson is associated with it; he produced Korn's first album. |
