METAL MORNING 7 - GROOVE METAL

[@OlaEnglund]

Morning everyone ! Hope you have a great Sunday!

[@budaroddy]

Same 👌😎👍

[@joehernandezjrjr1144]

1:11am in Dallas Tx have a wonderful Sunday!!

[@oldfart6938]

Enjoy’ing coffee before wife n kids wake up watching Ola.. perfect! Keep it up

[@MeOwOgai]

Its Sunday already??? 🤯

[@SinnGread]

for that clarity you heard at Metalica ...go check out Meyers Sound Lab. Speakers, and controlers.

[@jayess7350525]

Ola - "I mean, I can talk about Pantera all day!" Louise - "I know, haha!" *please help me*

[@tracyhightower9829]

No one ever seems to remember Helmet when talking Groove Metal. They were contemporaries of Pantera and Prong and definitely as influential.

[@cullenjames7542]

And one of the tightest bands ever.

[@onionheadguy7094]

True they are labeled as alternatkve metal but they definitely have some groove metal songs and monster ass riffs!

[@Thrash_HxC]

Best snare tone ever no one does it quite like them imo.

[@geyer1974]

Best ever groove Section, Henry Bogdan and John Stanier fuckin ruled!

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

Wouldnt they be remembered more if they were so influential?

[@holdenmcgroin5003]

Ola should make a new series, called "Will It Chug: Tone Edition." Where he basically recreates tones from famous metal albums and checks if it can chug or not.

[@kirmitdfrug9824]

I am sure tones from metal albums chan chug ngl

[@basshnter1997]

@aryan20000 He does a great job recreating classic metal tones.

[@ehoc42]

That’s just combining two segments he already does lol

[@jezerpacheco2013]

@aryan20000 love his channel, love the vibe

[@tyrantstomper]

Excited to hear the Django Reinhardt chug tone

[@LightCyrus]

Prong! Sepultura! White Zombie! Pantera! What a golden era for metal.

[@zenistermister9695]

Hellyeah 🤘 That time in metal was amazing. Absolutely priceless.

[@janneranta7373]

PRONG!! Unconditional, Beg to Differ, Lost and Found, Prove You Wrong, Rude Awakening, Avenue Of The Finest... Such an awesome band. Tommy Victor is a riff master.

[@elancaster3989]

Agreed

[@ericgreathouse5701]

Fuck an A

[@janneranta7373]

@Wylie Wildt Rude Awakening is in my top 3 Prong albums. I like Beg To Differ and Prove You Wrong more. I got into the band when Beg To Differ came out and Prove You Wrong made me an even bigger fan. Never liked Cleansing as much, but Rude Awakening was so solid. A good mix between the newer style (more industrial) and old hooks (especially in the choruses).

[@jordanjonz]

Everybody always forgets Power Of The Damager. That album fuckin cranks!

[@janneranta7373]

@@jordanjonz That's also a good album. Prong doesn't really have bad albums. It's just that some albums are even better or are classics (Beg To Differ and Prove You Wrong).

[@epicmetalness]

guys, plz checkout my second newest video and let me know if you think i fall into the groove metal slot or what genre you think i fall into

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

This always comes on after my band practice, nice way to come off the high of jamming. Think about my bandmates and friends. Good stuff.

[@mason3872]

Yep, jamming is an immediate adrenaline rush. Nothing feels better than hanging out with a friend and playing a bunch of music with them, you know?

[@HasseC]

Dogman with Kings X? Great episode, as always!

[@Guithulhu]

Great show today, Ola. There was another Groove Metal 90s band many people missed that didn't get the recognition they deserved. Pissing Razors. If you've never heard them, give them a listen.

[@phillipsalstrom175]

Dude, got tell you how much I appreciate you bringing your wife on so frequently, it’s the only thing that gets my wife to watch with me! She is learning and starting to enjoy metal!! Thank you both!!

[@NickWebbSax]

I think groove is something that's almost sprinkled into bands as one ingredient rather than being something that lots of bands are ...

[@jackharrisguitar]

My favourite genre! If it ain’t got groove, it ain’t got SH!T! 😍

[@dinofond]

Whoa Ola you left out King's X the OG of OG groove metal. Another Texas band real tight friends with Pantera. Check out the Dogman Record I bet you will like it.

[@benjaminspudich8519]

Great video your dog is precious to love everything you guys do!!

[@ilovegreenock]

Waldemar Sorychta's playing is one a kind and his tone is unique.Also Grip Inc live shows were bad ass back in the day!

[@gradientblue]

had the pleasure to meet and work with him for a few days on an EP of my old band! really great person and such a great producer.

[@ilovegreenock]

@@gradientblue it's really difficult to find info about him do you know his last whereabouts musically speaking ?

[@steveforwarduk]

we both love Louisa and the dog is sheer cuteness! way to go Ola! we love Metal Mornings!

[@tonyhunter7344]

Great selections. Thanks for spotlighting Groove Metal. Down is also an interesting example. You can hear the Pantera influence.

[@patfix]

Orbit Culture has some of the best grooves these days. Maybe not a ‘strict’ groove metal band but they definitely groove.

[@Gary_a_normal_human_being]

Def one of my favourite bands

[@coogie75]

Yeah totally I was just thinking where's Orbit Culture in this video!!

[@richarddeeble09]

Quite a bit of 90s metalcore was very groove metal influenced. Earth Crisis - Gommorah's Season Ends, Vision of Disorder and One King Down had a big groove metal influence on the riffing. Also Turmoil, though they were a bit more rhythmically complex. Lots of the heavier hardcore from the era gets overlooked and it was great

[@ninjaneer1974]

Thought I was the only one on the planet who knew of vision of disorder. Got that cd outside a Type O show in Chicago.

[@diabeticmonkey]

Not to mention Slayer. I couldn’t imagine Firestorm without Raining Blood

[@Beyond-Antares]

Earthcrisis breed the killer's had some amazing riffs, one of my fav albums around '97/'98 There were a lot more groove metal bands if you'd consider bands like Sevendust, Soulfly,brujeria, hed pe, skunk Anasi, Glassjaw, skin lab and ultraspank.

[@PseudoPulse]

@@ninjaneer1974 V.O.D. is a killer hardcore band!!

[@firdeye2681]

Ola always brings a smile to my morning

[@alistairclifton1286]

Anthrax with John Bush...a lot of that was groove metal....Dime played some killer solos on those albums.

[@simonnomis3175]

Volume 8 Is a great album imo

[@leegollin4417]

Paul Crook

[@leegollin4417]

Groove metal turned into either Nu Metal or went the Djent direction.

[@leegollin4417]

Pantera totally robbed Exhorder. Indeed.

[@leegollin4417]

Pantera happened to Seputura.

[@jameslunsford4746]

I've been a subscriber for a minute and your channel is still one of my all-time favorite channels to watch🤘🤘

[@jaimgom]

Grip Inc.! I remember, back in the Headbanger's ball days, Biohazard were hosting the program for Dynamo 1995. When Danny got to interview Gus and Dave from Grip Inc., Dave realized he was the drummer in Biohazard and said "Yeah, you got that groovy sound, we took a bit of Biohazard".

[@timothymckane6362]

Prong's "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" was one of my favorite songs from that band.

[@michaelhansen7562]

Pro-Pain has some groove rips! Not sure I would box them in "groove" but they have some absolute slappers

[@bishfish1514]

I glad you put prong on here its good to know you now them they are sick

[@gruesomecthulhu9598]

This one hits home. Thanks you guys.

[@alphaenemyplus8376]

Thanks for including Prong! So underrated.

[@gibsonmesa00]

GRIP INC. was one of my favorite bands in the 90s!! After Dave Lombardo left Slayer, I had to hear his new project. Definitely a very under appreciated band. Every album sounds different but sounds like Grip Inc. RIP Gus Chambers. 🤘🏼😑

[@rickbrunet2559]

Ah yeah. PRONG was def awesome!!! Thanx Ola

[@420Ard]

Grip Inc. is great! Definitely overlooked. Waldemar is an amazing guitar player and producer! Gus (RIP) had a very distinctive voice that fit the music very well and Dave... 'Nuff said! Some 'must listens': Hostage to Heaven, Rusty Nail and Human? (awesome solos in that song!).

[@Kadoogan83]

Ola, this may be a little outside your wheelhouse seeing as its hardcore, but one album (from the 90's) that is most definitely groovy is "Look My Way" by the band MadBall.

[@ThomasMetal75]

Hell ya!

[@musiconyourowntermspodcast6128]

Thank you for bringing up Grip Inc! I have been a massive fan since 95 when I saw them on Headbangers Ball's coverage of Dynamo. Such an underrated band!!

[@RNAMusic]

I loved ROOTS. Only saw Sepultura once in the 90s and they were AWESOME.

[@oskar7string]

Glad to see Grip Inc in the list, that makes justice to their legacy. Incredible work from Dave Lombardo and the master guitarist and producer Waldemar Sorychta. R..I.P Gus Chambers

[@felixgrimm408]

I grew up in the 90ies, too. And I was listening to records from Infectious Grooves and Freak Kitchens "Appetizer" - which are both groovy and funky (and violent funky ;-))! Also: What about Suicidal Tendencies?

[@joecarl5473]

Custom pops look amazing!!! Good morning ola and crew!!!

[@ianmcgillivray4935]

PRONG is a very underappreciated band. I used to crank Cleansing until I couldn't see straight.

[@tomturner2656]

Ola=true pantera fan. Let the solo finish on psycho holiday before clicking forward. My man 🤘🏽

[@duartelucas8129]

That Pantera song you put at the beginning of the video seems Celtic Frost!

[@neckcheese1356]

I used to work at a Subway that was connected to a music store. The owners of the music store would let us claim any of their in-store plays that none of their employees wanted at the end of each month. Grip Inc. was one of the best albums I scored from them. Listened to it a ton back in the 90's, and still pop it in from time to time.

[@AncientNecropsy]

cool, you mention the band Prong: so underrated but i think i can give a lot of credits about them. i remember on 1994. i listened the song called "No question" by prong. I was impressed of those pinch harmonics. i remember i thought. What the hell this guy is doing? How we can do that? They inspire me to do the first picking harmonics on the guitar.

[@jessewalters9107]

Why I like Watching Ola ... Well it's because all the other guitar channels are way to uppity and Ola likes to have fun and it's entertaining keep the good content coming loving these new series ... hope you all have a swell and blessed day ... horns up

[@palix5925]

LOW from Testament is so fucking heavy. I love that album. It was my bridge to death metal from thrash metal.

[@StephenBecker]

Dude, that Testament album was my intro to them. It SLAYS! Still holds up today!

[@jparkerriffs]

so many good bands and riffs, cool video!

[@johnm3842]

I discovered Prong when they opened up for Pantera in 94!! Philly spectrum. Amazing concert and so glad I was able to see Pantera!

[@marshallbinkley9186]

Love all the bands you listed, but Props for GRIP Inc. Loved them.

[@yankeerose9011]

Good morning beautiful friends! ❤ Let's rock our Sunday heels off!🤘

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Nice start Ola but IMO you can't talk 90's groove metal without also talking about Pro-Pain, Life of Agony, Crowbar, Grope & Pissing Razors! And Ola start with the first Grip record, bad ass!! Ostracized is a BANGER!!

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Up here in Oshawa we LOVE groove metal and stoner metal, it's Canada, we're all baked to the gills when we play :)

[@ThrashXCV]

I definitely understand that surreal feeling, when I saw Black Sabbath in 2013 it was so mind blowing my mind practically turned to mush for the whole show. I was so in the moment when i go to recall how I felt in certain moments during the show its all just a haze. most of the other major artists i've seen tour regularly and thankfully mid florida gets hit relatively frequently, so its less of a dire situation. but I'm pretty sure that it was THE last tour they hit florida before they disbanded. My band went on to open for thrash gods Havok 4 days later all of it was a blur. one of the best weeks of my life.

[@alfredogonzalez8573]

Throwdown’s album Venom and Tears opens with Holy Roller and it totally sounds like the second coming of Pantera. The whole album is sick! Highly recommend

[@diabeticmonkey]

It’s a shame that they couldn’t follow that album up

[@jmac24]

Deathless was a good album but man Venom & Tears is a great album! The cover of Worlds Collide was fantastic

[@mikemitchell7529]

Loving this new(ish) series, all the best Ola

[@nethbt]

PRONG is underrated, heavily underrated

[@dmphax]

Yep, way ahead of their time.

[@tragicallymalicious1]

Wow I've been lucky. After listening to Ola and Louise's live show experiences, I realized I've seen some pretty epic stuff myself. Too many to pick from. I saw Maiden on their first US tour opening for Rainbow, I saw Metallica on their first headline tour (omg it was amazing), I saw both versions of Pantera, was there when Phil overdosed on stage. I got to see Dream Theater on the Scenes tour, and I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and shake his hand backstage. Those are just the highlights.

[@russellzauner]

Hell yes. I love that this gets covered. Ya left out Living Color lol as well as primus, skid row, down, nailbomb, and biohazard just off the top of my head And if you actually got to see a Pantera show back in the day, one of the cool things was if you wanted to drink with the band you usually got to at some point :-) +1 for mentioning TAD - BROOOOOO memories, hello from Portland Oregon...

[@benachurch]

Woah…. What is that Tele inconspicuously facing out of the rack behind Ola?? Every time it cuts to the wide front shot you see the solar t and that Tele left and right!!.. was that the design basis?.. either way that Tele on the right with the stop bar / tuneomatic looks faaaarking sweet!!! 🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻

[@NihonNoMajin]

When Louise said "I know" after Ola mentioned talking about Panters all day gave me a chuckle 😄.

[@Pete_Logic]

Great list Ola! Very kick ass done! A band I get reminded of when you talk about groove metal is Bad Brains! The song “Gene Machine” was great! But a little out of the metal/groove more punk metal groove . On a different note, loved that you got to see TAD!

[@corey_deroche]

Nice job guys. I enjoyed the show.

[@RobKingRC]

Grip Inc. takes me way back!!! Awesome..

[@theblishknovk]

Burnt By The Sun needs to be added to the list. Amazing groove metal.

[@kevinw4523]

Awesome Bull Terrier! Ola, your awesome too!

[@Zeinzu2]

Please keep the POP! figures up on the desk for all the videos!!!!

[@frederic_viennot]

thank you both so much ;)))

[@Hicks-g1m]

I always start my day with Ola and metal morning 🤘🎸

[@jostert]

Gojira made me pick up the guitar. playing for one year now.. 2 hours a day

[@smithers_ds]

Basically like Pantera: The Sign Of The Southern Cross - Of Mountains and Moonshine (album), I believe from 2009. I believe they don't exist anymore though.

[@jonathanquarnberg9136]

I also feel the same way as Ola about Pantera. I live in the United States and I have never heard of them being referred to as "Jock Metal". Although I could see how the energy of their music could get someone pumped up before a workout.

[@doctoribanez]

Whoever sent those figurines is awesome. They are pretty great

[@stormnis]

Great video. I didn’t watch it in one go only because you mentioned so many great bands I had to go listen to them and come back to the video. When Pantera came out I was really into thrash and Panrtera blew my mind. I started listening to Obituary after that and Pantera was like in between death and thrash for me. Tone wise, Vulgar Display of Power was a billion times heavier sounding than bands like Metallica/Slayer. Plus the guitar solos were way more exciting. Today I thought maybe Pantera ‘s sound is Dime channeling his love for EVH and thrash?

[@emirrodriguezlopez7325]

Buen vídeo ola llevo todo el verano y este año siguiendo te aquí me fascina tu canal y saludos a tu metal banda de death metal melódico

[@denverrandy7143]

No CrowBar?Great show Ola,awesome as always!!!

[@ZakkiLowe]

Skinlab was one band that I have always considered groove metal. And a modern band that I think has serious groove elements is Bermuda. Both Skinlab and Bermuda are some of my absolute favorites.

[@rodrigo.vs7]

In terms of program approach it reminds me Beavis and Butthead watching vídeos. What good times to remember! Congrats Ola and Louise on a such great job!

[@hexadb]

Would Suicidal Tendencies and maybe even Infectious Grooves fit in here? Also - Helmet! 😁🤘

[@CinKaiDRocks]

Grip Inc an amazing band.their mix of industrial atmosphere and groove is so fucking good. Very good at creating internal imagery.

[@mud027]

Nice tele in the rack guys and that solar tele style looks killer too

[@mrrandomcarp2799]

the tele on the racj behind Ola is the Joe Duplantier signature Charvel model. Thing is absolutely killer

[@JimDewdGuitars]

@@mrrandomcarp2799 thank you I was trying to figure out what it was. It's definitely a beast of a guitar.

[@mud027]

@@mrrandomcarp2799 Looks mint.

[@BoostedCajun]

Acid Bath is also a notable overlooked Groove Metal band from the 90’s. Tranquilized, Scream of the Butterflies just to make a few.

[@2free2snakes]

I thought they were Sludge

[@ericprater1970]

I'm 51 years old I live in Alabama to me they are grew up on kiss and Black Sabbath besides them Pantera still today are unmatched got to see them and clubs with white zombie opening had never heard the words White Zombie it was brutal RIP Dimebag and Vinnie Paul and have both exhorter early albums their new music is unbelievably awesome everybody needs exhorter in their life

[@ThrushCZX]

@13:28 Chris Kontos blew my mind when I heard this album. I was a young drummer and had been listening to GnR, Metallica, Pantera etc, but then I heard what Chris was playing on 'Burn My Eyes' (and Igor on 'Chaos AD') and was blown away. Dude taught me so much about what else could be done with the drums

[@simonrowlands8031]

Nice now I’ve got a couple extra bands to listen too good job you two 🤘🏼

[@NoCantsAllowed]

So glad to be welcoming Picks to the shows! I can tell she's been a long-time coming for ya, that she is very much loved and also very happy with you guys!

[@venelinpetrov6811]

Hi Ola, I didn't hear you mentioning the baritone guitars too much. I'm planning to buy a Solar baritone guitar, can you share some thoughts, how they compare to 7 strings?

[@mikeg.9238]

You have a good wife Ola , it's awesome how Louise nods along to your playing and is into metal. My wife is a good wife also and puts up with a lot of my crap , but she absolutely hates metal and hates me playing guitar. We have nothing in common music wise , she listens to some pop crap on corporate radio or nothing at all. When we're driving in the car together she complains non stop even when the volume is at it's lowest level possible , which you know sucks when you're listening to metal. It takes the enjoyment out of it. I tell her it's not meant to be listened to at low volumes , that defeats the purpose! Rock on bro!!!\m/

[@StormdriverOne]

I've seen many memorable shows. Metallica at Monsters of Rock and many times after that. Dream Theater on the Images and Words tour and Distance over Time with SFaM. I saw Pantera with Prong and Sepultura. Rush always put on a good show. Van Halen in the rain was pretty awesome. But the most memorable? Easy. Pink Floyd at Vanderbilt Stadium from the 2nd row. Nothing is ever going to top that.

[@muaddib667]

Ahh, Prong! Excellent

[@markrockledge8450]

I Still have My Prong C.D. you were talking about. I bought it when it came out in the 90's.

[@KaddysJamKave]

Ola, Check out Diesel Machine (evolve) album. Perfect example of groove metal released in 2020 but with the old skool feel.

[@elancaster3989]

Happy Sunday Ola from the west coast of Canada

[@ericprater1970]

How Could You Forget the band crowbar and Life of Agony On the album if I remember right River runs red

[@h.jhoanviatelabejarano4201]

Man! I was waiting for you to mention Annihilator. They're such an underrated band. Jeff Waters is a riff monster, his riffs have soooo much groove man dude. COME ON!

[@panagiotisexplorer213]

Ola did you listen power metal bands back in the day like Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Grace Digger etc. ?

[@Cannibalizer86]

I did wonder if Pissing Razors would get mention, I always thought of them as a Pantera + old school Machine Head love child haha. But still a great video Ola!

[@feliperibeiro463]

Sepultura is still the best Groove/Death metal band in my opinion. What they did in Chaos AD and Roots is something no other band ever did in the history of metal.

[@JETGuitars]

Love these vids!

[@adamplaza3935]

The Costume bands are mentioned in somany YT videos but noone talks about Lordi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great show cool mix from parts. Music History, FAQ and sometimes unboxing or ola tastes shit. If you play in south Germany sometime Ill get to the Concert. Like the solo albums too ... it feels like Jazzmetal a bit xD

[@greggdavenport20]

Oh sh*t sorry I missed this video!! Hell that's why I missed your review on Orange Amps.... Peace ✌ 😆 🤣 😂
