2000, the beginning of a brand new century struck fear in many as the Y2K panic spread. Luckily, no computers burst into flames, and it wasn’t the end of the world. It’s hard to believe Wilson, the Volleyball from the movie Cast Away, is turning twenty this year. 2000 was an era when illegal […]

As we saw with bands such as Mötley Crüe, Rage Against the Machine, Vio-lence, Mr.Bungle, Possessed, Exhorder, and many more that have disbanded/went on a hiatus and returned, there’s always a chance for a group to reform. They can also reappear for a quick reunion just to disappear again and sometimes come back once more, […]

Metal Hammer compiled a list of The 40 Best Nu-Metal Songs Of All Time. We are a bit surprised by this list, and it has nothing to do with the song rankings. The list seems more of a clump of hits from the mid-90s up until the early 2000s. This being instead of the genre […]

Whenever Chad Gray, Ryan Martinie or Gregg Tribbett are interviewed they are inevitably asked about a Mudvayne reunion. Back in 2016, Gray was clearly tired of being asked about reuniting with his old bandmates. However, the question was recently asked yet again on 101.1 WRIF’s Meltdown, which then Gray expressed that him and his former bandmates still […]

Revolver has released their top 20 essential nu metal albums. While we have blatantly forgotten about five bands in this subgenre, we do remember many influential records as well. Revolver’s list is surprising since they are missing a few important groups including such Coal Chamber and arguably Rage Against the Machine. Check out their list […]

Did you know the semi-title track of HELLYEAH’s Unden!able (that’d be “Be Unden!able”) is somewhat of a reaction to Pantera and Mudvayne fans clamoring for reunions of those bands? Chad Gray, who logged 14 years in Mudvayne, says he wrote the song, titled the album, and came up with that weird exclamation point in the middle of it […]

A lot of people likely listened to Hellyeah for the first time in a while after hearing that the band’s Phil Collins cover of “I Don’t Care Anymore” on their new album Unden!able featured guitars by one Dimebag Darrell. The band the former Pantera guitarist was playing in when he was killed, Damageplan, had initially started covering […]

Back in the ’90s and early aughts, the nu-metal explosion found bands, some of which had no reasons being signed, thrust upon us in the wake of Korn, Deftones and Limp Bizkit’s success. Granted, some of those bands were great, and others not so much. What they all had in common was that one of […]
