Soulfly concert downright tribal Dec 1, 2008
Anyone expecting subtlety would be better served catching a flying mallet, as this was in-your-face metal, mostly old-school hardcore and thrash with only occasional flashes of that divisive nu metal no one admits to liking anymore. With three Cavaleras on the bill and the memory of Dana Wells, Max Cavalera's slain stepson, looming over the occasion, this was a family affair onstage as well as in the audience, a virtual sea of black T-shirts over which people surfed on their backsides once the...

Review: Chinese Democracy Nov 27, 2008
Additionally, Axl and company have borrowed much of their musical inspiration from other bands that have managed to grab the spotlight since the last batch of new GN'R music (think , , NIN, and all the Nu Metal bands that have since gone the way of the dinosaur). The jumbled nature of the album is best expressed in the production credits. (IGN FilmForce)
Metallica revives old sound Sep 14, 2008

Rock Music Menu: Rage fans mess up the music Aug 9, 2008
This was also about the time that nu metal kicked in with its tuned down guitars, rap rock vocalizations and the most disgusting display of testosterone fueled inhumanity this side of rape, which is exactly what happened at Woodstock '99. There were multiple sexual assaults during the upstate New York festival of "peace and love," not in the woods or behind some porta-potty, but in the midst of a raging crowd during sets from the most notorious of the angst-ridden new acts.

Stuff a ChinoSox in It Jul 20, 2008
The Deftones have always held a special place in my heart they re the only band I can listen to from the unfortunate period of nu metal in the nineties. I vaguely remember sometime about the guitar player being hit by a car and getting a bunch of money that helped start the band. (Suite101.com)

Sound off:Vampire Weekend brings new feel to modern day folk music Mar 7, 2008
Vampire Weekend yes, the name sounds like a nu metal band, but go Underdog on us and have no need to fear. This foursome sharply and magnificently blends folksy Paul Simon crooning with a smashingly smattering combination of African pop, particularly on the defining track of the disc, Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.

Transformers - Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture Review Jul 5, 2007
Disturbed kick out their trademark skirl and grungy grind on "The Moment" moving past their slight Nu Metal crushing blitz to deliver a chugging thunder blitz. Frontman David Draiman does his now routine vocal swerve, yelling, guttural scatting; the works. (IGN FilmForce)

Cynics might even say that all Linkin Park have done to escape the nu metal label is cut down the Bennington-Shinoda interaction on individual songs. But that would be missing the point. (iAfrica.com)
Upcoming concert lineup a little lighter this year May 25, 2007
Evanescence has set itself apart from the rest of the metal crowd with the soaring vocals of singer Amy Lee, while Korn, which last played Montage at the 2003 Ozzfest, has proved to be one of the more consistent nu metal acts of the last decade.

Aiming to inspire kids first, get political later Apr 29, 2007
In fact, in the late 1990s punk spawned some despicable offspring (emo, post-grunge, nu metal) such that by listening to them we might be forgiven for thinking that all good things had gone from it. If punk bands from the past wrote songs to channel the young's frustration against the powers that be, bands that claimed to be inspired by punk trailblazers are content with writing songs about heartbreak, adolescent misery and life in the suburbs.

WEB EXTRA: Jars of Clay offer a different sort of Christian rock Apr 16, 2007
For most people, Christian Rock is synonymous with bad music: think P.O.D.'s Nu Metal or Creed's preachy version of Pearl-Jam-lite. But with the 1995 acoustic rock hit "Flood," Jars of Clay established themselves as one of the few Christian Rock groups able to transcend the "Jesus music" category to reach a broad audience, and make great music in the process.

Pop star still rising Apr 13, 2007
It was a heady time in pop music, as the last embers of the grunge movement grew cold and the angst-ridden lunkheads of a hip-hop/hard rock hybrid dubbed ``nu metal'' were on the rise. But there was a generation of not-yet-angry or angst-ridden tweeners and young teens who gravitated to the slick (mostly), safe and carefully constructed mainstream sounds of groups such as Hanson, the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls.

Hold the Line Apr 13, 2007
In addition to some royally crappy baseball and 65 more Androballs, 1999 brought us Y2K bug fears, the death of grunge (and the birth of something even worse, called nu metal), and millions of dollars in song royalties to Prince. Nineteen-ninety-nine also saw two moves that would set the foundation for the team we know and love today: First, Walt Jocketty drafted Jose Alberto Pujols with the 402nd pick of the amateur draft.

Making it takes back seat to distributing it in music business Jan 1, 2007
But after a few years of ``new'' styles gaining prominence (reggaeton, mainstream punk and emo, nu metal, southern hip-hop), 2006 seemed to be more about the advances in digital music hardware and distribution, consumers' embrace of said distribution, strategic partnerships between record label conglomerates, and other polysyllabic buzzwords that have more to do with meetings than music-making or -listening. So, while there may not have been a big new music movement (unless you consider the... (Akron Beacon Journal, OH -- Entertainment)
