Nu Metal didn't start with KORN...

Originally formed in 1993, Korn have and most likely always will be cited as the first Nu-Metal band with the very first Nu-Metal album. That would be their debut record in 1994, self-titled. The record was a commercial success and also helped to launch the career of one Ross Robinson. An American record producer that is often nick-named the godfather of nu-metal.
Robison went on to work with the likes of Slipknot, Deftones, Sepultura and Limp Bizkit amongst others. If not for Korn though, we may never have even heard of him. Korn though wasn’t exactly ground zero for what we now know as Nu-Metal. Maybe from a commercial stand-point of course but it goes much deeper than that and in this video we’re going to explore the True Roots of Nu Metal.

Biohazards urban discipline also was monumental to the influence of nu metal. No doubt for sure Mr Bungle was a huge catalyst for some of those earlier bands, even korn and slipknot mentioned them being some of the biggest influence

[@rodrigocasco1989]

Deftones doing a cover of Helmet's "Sinatra" from Strap it On is enough proof that the album did influence one of the pillar bands of nu metal. The drop tuned stacatto riffs from Meantime were also a huge influence!

[@covidcityrockers2146]

JUDGEMENT NIGHT SOUNDTRACK!!!

[@giorgamblis]

Great vid like always, but you can't be talking about rap and metal/rock fusion without mentioning Biohazard, especially their seminal 1992 record Urban Discipline. The way they brought everything together had never been done so seemlessly before. Also, the sountrack for Judgement Night from 1993 featuring all rock/hip hop collabs, most notably Just Another Victim with Helmet and House of Pain and Judgement Night with Onyx and Biohazard, definately deserves a mention.

[@shonkyindustries]

Was wondering how Biohazard were missed. Sadly I sold the Judgement Night soundtrack years ago, Just Another Victim was the standout to me.

[@richardotten6467]

Suicidal tendencies had a lot of influence on the nu metal and also the hardcore punk scene

[@rawmeato]

Yes, they are absoulutely number one band he forgot to mention. Their song Institutionalized was played in 1982 and released in 1983 and I definitely see it as the first fusion of metal and rap. It influenced Limp Bizkit, who cited some lyrics in the song Stuck of their first album and Body Count, who made a full cover.

[@Cycopace]

Mike Muir was rapping in Institutionalized, Join the Army, Trip At the Brain et Go N Breaking long before it became trendy

[@aotctd]

No one from suicidal tendencies etc scene is or was interested in Nu Metal *L M F A O*

[@gazomusic]

Excellent Nu Metal video again. Surprised no Pantera and Sepultura were mentioned. I know Sepultura took influence from Korn to do the Roots album. But Chaos AD, also had a part to play in leading up to Nu Metal. And Pantera's groove is also an influence into the groove style riffs in Nu Metal.Can't wait to see some follow up Nu Metal Videos. Maybe even focusing on the newer bands coming out now incorporating Nu Metal influences.

[@chrismunoz7859]

Sepultura were out way before nu metal and don't need to be in the category regardless of a later album take influence from the genre. Pantera like sepultura were out before and kept to metal.

The Urban Dance Squad definitely deserve a mention - late 80s band from Holland who fused live distorted guitars, rapping & turntablism.... tracks like Fastlane with cameos from Flea/Rollins in the video....who also heavily influenced tom morello to start RATM. Judgement Night OST should be in this video as it influenced the NuMetal scene. I also think Living Colour need to get some credit for forging the way into NuMetal...... they were basically doing NuMetal before Korn, both albums Vivid & Times Up have elements of NuMetal - but Stain is when they really went to town..... but sadly never get credit for how groundbreaking they were/are.

[@tomireunanen8033]

Fear Factory and Korn actually have a link between them, since Ross Robinson had worked with Fear Factory and used that tape (that was later released as Concrete) to find bands to work with. As far as I know, Korn really liked what they heard and thus, Robinson got the job to produce Korn's self-titled. Love the fact that this documentary finally gives props to Mr Bungle as well, since it's very clear that they had a huge impact on the nu-metal scene. The guys of Korn actually call the chord they use on "Blind" as the "Mr Bungle chord". (from the main riff of My Ass is On FIre)

[@trakkaton]

The Tritonus, interval of the devil, forbidden in the middle ages, famously used by Black Sabbath.

[@Igor.J.Delgado]

The main riff of "Blind" is almost identical to Fear Factory's "Scapegoat"

[@VillageIdiotFs]

I think Godflesh & Swans deserved to be at least mentioned here. Celtic Frost had a track called 'One in their Pride' that was obviously heavily influenced by Run Dmc. And Mick Harris, originally founding drummer of Napalm Death, has had a career of experimenting with Hip hop, dub, industrial, and more since leaving Napalm, best example Scorn.

[@HenryRuins]

Fear Factory definitely is not talked about enough when it comes to nu-metal and being an influence on the genre and in metal music in general especially metalcore

[@hannoverfiste4126]

They felt they were big inspiration to nu-metal and ended up making mediocre nu-metal from the quasi-death metal/industrial metal fusion they created. I don't thinkt hey were that big influence on nu-metal, but they're the godfathers of modern metalcore/djent and the prog metal scene similiar to that stuff.

[@lruf1332]

[@thisisfyne]

I wonder, is there any possibility that the desert rock scene (Kyuss, Sleep, Clutch, etc) evolving in the same years in California contributed to bring a heavier, more distorted sound to the alternative rock/metal forming the basis of nu-metal?

[@dethyprlps9020]

Maybe a little... but Desert Rock bands (Kyuss, FuManchu, Goatsnake, Masters of Reality, Mondo Generator, Nebula, etc..) didn't have the "chugga, chugga" crunchy palm-muted tones that NuMetal bands shared with thrash/death metal before it. Clutch is from Maryland - originally mixing faster hardcore sounds with a West Virginia/Southern Rock/Blues style... leaning more groove/bluesy as they progressed. "Karma to Burn" is a great band from the same area to check out, if you like Clutch.

[@manuelmaldonadojr.306]

As a musician I can tell you hands down there are straight up guitar riffs from everything that you've mentioned but especially from the Deftones and Korn and a lot of that they got from Faith No More when I was hanging out with Igor from Sepultura and it influenced a lot of roots along with cavalera conspiracy and Soulfly and you can truly hear that style in slipknot's first two albums and this is a conversation that I had with Igor and John Martin who is the the guitar tech from Slipknot and Stone Sour and being a former New Yorker We Can't Stop without mentioning all the New York hardcore bands that were way into the scene and help pave that way

[@crazyjimheath]

cool vid , most of us didn't know the term nu metal back then lol .. i knew Korn wasn't the first rap metal , but seemed like the first band to use bass and weird guitar noise to add an organic rap feel on occasion , it was a fresh approach !!! sometimes Machine Head or early 2000's radio rock is considered 'Nu Metal" lol... early 90's had a bunch of bands doing the rap metal thing but in different ways (Biohazard , Dog Eat Dog , Skrew, Anthrax ect ) if we are talking purely rap metal as nu metal .. i guess (Korn , Deftones and Limp Bizkit ) would be the big 3 or first 3 Mainstream / Huge nu metal bands ... for a small time those 3 bands were crossing over featuring on songs with each other !! once they caught on it became a genre .. i would say early funk metal (Mr Bungle , Cyco Grooves, Faith no More) may have influenced Nu Metal bands , just as much, as rap .. then nu metal became a term for any metal crossover in the late 90's to early 2000's lololol ..Great video man..great call on Primus too !!! right on !!!

[@neverputon5878]

Really good video, Bodycount is a band definitely worth mentioning, Ice T is in the movie Judgement Night somebody had a great idea for the sound track in 1993 which is worth also mentioning a lot of bands collaborate to make what sounds like a Numetal album released with the movie summer 1993

[@ceevishus4130]

it is very true with Fear Factory, NIN, Ministry and many other early industrial. Helmet comes from the NY post hardcore scene but their music did heavily influence new metal. A lot of NY hardcore has greatly influenced many of the early nu metal bands.

You are absolutely correct about Body Count, however, some of the publicity from this band came from the song "Cop Killer", which I believe was forcibly removed from the album. There will never be another band to mix Hip Hop and heavy music like RATM. Their sound is unmatched. And anyone who tries in the future will fail. That's just my take on it.

Death Metal in general, and groove metal also definitely influenced Nu Metal. Before Korn, some metal bands detuned a bit, but only Death Metal band like Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel and a bunch of Swedish bands really tuned anywhere near as low as Korn.
