Nick Hipa said it himself in the chat @2:44, Soilwork's "The Chainheart Machine" is definitely one of those Swedish metal albums that influenced a lot of 2000's metalcore bands, yet I don't hear many people talk about them even to this day. Matt Heafy (Trivium) even said that Soilwork is a big influence on him. To me they're one of the most underrated bands in metal, they have always been super unique, from the guitar playing, the songwriting, and Bjorn Strid's incredible singing and harsh vocals. Even their most accessible songs are unique to a degree. Devin Townsend even co-produced Soilwork's 4th album "Natural Born Chaos".

[@DeathMachineJoe]

I suppose Linkin Park is considering "rock" on Spotify because a lot of their material after Meteora was more on the rock side of things. I suppose they could've included a track like Papercut or Hit the Floor from one of those albums, as both those songs are kinda heavy. But they can't include something popular like In the End or Numb since those tracks are way more rock than alt metal. However, if The Hunting Party was released in the 2000s, they would have a lot of stuff to pick from that album.

SOAD, BMFV, and Linkin Park got robbed. I remember early youtube when you couldn't have gone 3 videos without linkin park or SOAD popping up somewhere, and everyone was jamming to BMFV even if there weren't montage songs.

I'd put the riff from Under A Killing Moon up against any song on this playlist.

[@alondite215]

_Crisis_ seems like an odd pick when _Watch Out_ exists. Of course, _Vheissu_ is better than both.

legit gotta pause and listen to every song said and the memories they bring you will give you chills!

Vision of Disorders Album Imprint is absolutely phenomenal.

So glad I'm not the only VOD fan here

[@SwanStudiosYT]

I love that Spotify actually knows what 2000s metal classics are but they can't even make a good metalcore playlist

[@AlloyTUBER]

Hol'up they forgot Metallica. Death Magnetic had some pretty damn nice tracks on it. And St. Anger? We don't talk about that.

[@Kenjames10]

I thought so too but there are 2 songs actually. Just didn't show on the video.

[@josuastangl7140]

I grew up with Death Magnetic and it was cool, but non of these albums have any "genre classics" on them

[@dylanfarley8136]

St Anger > Death Magnetic. Bring on the hate.

Your videos are extremely entertaining. Mainly because you're a fellow metalhead, which is also why I enjoy other KZbinrs such as Stevie T. Great video.

Actually the end of a heartache album by Killswitch engage was what got me into metal with screaming in it. The first band that got me into rock was motley Crue

[@labhusky3]

Man I've been on an Atreyu binge lately and they still freaking slap. I don't remember which one was first but it was either Atreyu or Finger 11 as my first real concert and Atreyu was one hell of a mosh pit for ~13 year old me

The majority of these songs I have on my own playlist! Nice to see the nostalgia is mutual!

When Spotify actually puts through the fire and flames

[@ghgodsexposed]

It wasn't just metalcore and nu metal popping off in the early 2000s. Melodeath was insane too with COB, In Flames, Amon Amarth, and Soilwork releasing banger after banger

This is my main playlist 😭 so glad to have nick validate me

[@tylerharrison2314]

Vision of Disorder and Bloodsimple (same members) both so good and definitely need to be on this list in some capacity. For sure give them a look. Red Harvest album is a 2000's top 10er...

[@bjornboi1175]

SOAD, Korn and slipknot on the top 3, my favorite metal bands

[@thatpower4235]
