Support NeoGAF

[Stormhammer]

Hard to really pick for me, so I'll just name some of my favorites:

Ill Nino
Mudvayne
Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory and Meteora)
Flaw
Otep (Sevas Tra is a classic imo)

 

[Rival]

Korn but I used to love a lot of that type of music. Now most of it I find to be unlistenable.

 

[FuuRe]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Incubus is definitely nu-metal

Redefine, new skin, etc...

Also Evanescence is a great band I haven't seen named in here

 

[Mass Effect]

Deftones and 311? Come on people. Both of those bands have been around since the early to mid 90's and are definitely not nu-metal.

Deftones' first album (Adrenaline) is often considered one of the pioneering nu-metal albums. I mean have you listened to it? It's literally nu-metal personified. Even Around the Fur is pretty nu-metalish.

In what world is Incubus metal at all? I like incubus but would not file them in the metal genre. Unless they have some newer stuff that I haven't heard before that is much heavier.

SCIENCE is definitely nu-metal and so are parts of Make Yourself (Pardon Me for example). Like Deftones, they kind of fell out of the genre after their first few albums though. For the best I'd say.
