Happy to see some love for Nu Metal! I get the sense that we're finally far enough away from it to appreciate the ways in which it was groundbreaking and exciting rather than edgy. We also seem to be getting a lot of groups/artists that are taking the best parts of it and freshening them up (a la Gonemage, Vein.fm, Loathe, etc.).
To add to the list, this week I'm also going to check out Orchards of a Futile Heaven by The Body & Dis Fig (honestly, this might not even be metal knowing The Body) and Of the Last Human Being by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
This Gonemage is Roots in a very, very weirdly upside down parallel universe. I'm confused, since I'm not certain if either Sepultura or Gonemage is in the upside down. Maybe both. Maybe none.
"(how the fuck does he still sound like that?!)”
YES, THIS

I'll just go back to Master of Puppets.
Really liking the Borknagar and JFAC albums this week.
