Korn - Korn, Follow the leader, Issues.
These guys rocked my world when I first listened to them, so my album of choise would be thier first selftitled album.
A mix between Tool and Korn is the best description I can think of, and how can you fail with a combo like that. Very moody and soothing in a way.
Heavy stuff. Dark, moody and very, very good. Even has a small spoken apperance by Henry Rollins on the track Bottom.
Formed by members of Tool it represents the more melodic and even erotic side of the band. Or, like a friend of mine once put it, music to make love to.
Enuff with the mood, more mayhem. Probobly one of the heaviest and grooviest bands I've heard so far.
An amazing band that's lost it's touch I fear with the departure of singer Max Cavalera. Arise is one of the best thrash albums I've heard, Chaos A.D. is just rock solid and Roots introduced the tribal sound you hear in Cavaleras new band Soulfly.
Techno-end-of-humanity-robots-rule-us kind of melodic death metal. The Remanufacture album is a bunch of remixed Demanufacture songs. Showing of the bands techno influences. And if you ever played the first Carmageddon game, know that the cool music is instrumental versions of Demanufacture songs...
A side project by Phil Anselmo of Pantera, Pepper Keenan from C.O.C and Jim, Kirk and Todd of Crowbar. The best way to describe it is southern blues rock with a strong metal tone. In short, damn good music. ;)
Another side project by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport and various other people. Point Blank is their only album, and Proud To... is a live recording of the bands live performance on the Dynamo Open Air Festival in june 1995. Just about as heavy, agressive and intense as it gets. They only did these two albums, hence the Proud To... title on the live album.
One of the few more hardcore oriented band I like, lots of sing along anthems about personal pride and screw the music industry etc. In all two classic "get in the moshpit, f**ker" albums.
This is a must for any fan of the heavy and experimental metal of the 70's. Lost of jam sessions and grinding guitars.
Formed by some of the members of Kyuss when they split up, with the same heavy sound but more straight up rock in the tone.
