Tallah not being anywhere on that list is crazy. They have *several* songs that should absolutely be on there.

[@lennydean8090]

Tallah is so slept on its unreal.

[@FlobsterforLobster]

Literally the greatest band I’ve found in a long time. I haven’t missed them Live since I found them and they’re unreal live.

[@lightningmonky7674]

They're pretty good but I'm not sure where the worship comes from, can someone explain? Is it the unconventional vocals?

[@FlobsterforLobster]

@@lightningmonky7674 Phenomenal musicianship and super high energy live shows. Max portnoy is just like his father but is very much inspired Joey J. Derrick has some sexy riffs. Justin is a god tier vocalist and will blow you away alive. All in all just a solid band.

[@StarlordStavanger]

Tallah hu akbar

[@nighthawk9532]

I need some “New” Nu metal bands tbh

[@The_KlaVra]

Darknet, amazing band and even better lads, their album Trashworld is SICK.

[@SamBrockmann]

Lies. No one needs that.

[@Purplecreature36000]

Splutter is legit just a russian shoegaze slipknot and deftones You might like their stuff you might not

[@nighthawk9532]

@@SamBrockmann nah there is good Nu metal, I’ve heard better stuff then this whole playlist that they think is “Nu metal”

[@SamBrockmann]

@@nighthawk9532 , there really isn't though.

[@alice__drummer]

I love how nu metal is all either KoRn, Linkin Park, deftones or bimp lizkit Edit: I’m not saying these are the only Nu Metal bands or only main ones, that’s just what it seems like in this video

[@davidlontoh]

Four Nu Metal Gods

[@cha0skur0]

what abotu slipknot

[@chrisd9700]

*bizk limpkit

[@funkydonkey11051989]

what about Coal Chamber, Static-X?

[@InfiniteEditsHD]

remove LP and Bizkit, theyre rap metal. Add Slipknot and thats what nu metal is. 3 bands noone else

[@rubevanderwielen9323]

I always tell people metalcore is my favourite genre and, sure, it is, but deep inside, I know I can't let go of nu metal (btw by doing some kind of internet hype russian roulette, spotify has decided that nighmare by FATN should be my go-to song this year)

[@TrollogyExpert]

" can't let go of nu metal " many such cases.

[@christiandauz3742]

Ironically many Metalcore acts are incorporating Nu-Metal into their style I Prevail, BMTH and Spiritbox No LP ≠ No BMTH. Imagine Oli at 11 years old seeing LP Live and deciding to be a musician after that!

[@altpath]

The current vocalist of adema is the old guitarist from orgy, the same guy that co-wrote "blind" from Korn.

[@tigana]

There seems to be some overlap to be fair

[@FanaticBright]

I am offended that there aren't any post human survival horror songs from bmth here, that record is pure nu metal

[@noparkingnoparking]

truly one of the best nu metal albums ever made

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

Teardrops is just Linkin Park style song, one of my favourite BMTH songs also. It definitely should be there

[@henrywalton5967]

But there's a guitar solo, IT'S NOT PURE

[@jaygz4690]

Too old id guess

[@MvsicAdd7ct]

​@@jaygz4690 Yeah, 2020 was 4 years ago.... Oh, no (SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR OOOOHHH OHHHH OOOOHHH OHHH)

5:34 10 Years being underrated 🙃

[@Storm23PS3]

Can't believe he didn't know who 10 Years was

[@RyTrapp0]

@@Storm23PS3 Still struggling to figure out if that was just for the dad joke or not LOL

[@MerkFreeks]

Nik not knowing about 10 years blows my mind. They're a really good band. Been around since like 05?

[@warbreaker88]

They released their debut album in 05’, but formed in 1999. But yea, how does Nik not remember Wasteland?

[@Cliffjumper38]

@@warbreaker88 The Autumn Effect is their third album, but it is their major label debut. Their actual first album is from 2001 and is called Into The Half Moon, which has a different singer and has a lot of Deftones influence on it which there's some awesome songs on it, like Try Again, What The Fuck, When Will You Breathe?, and others. Killing All That Holds You (their second one from 2004) is also great, which Wasteland, Through The Iris, and Insects originated from KATHY with a more raw, less polished sound to it.

[@altpath]

They were touring since the 90's

[@NShomebase]

@@warbreaker88 Probably because it was neutered radio filler.

[@SayHelloToTheRobots]

Tetrarch is one of the sickest new nu metal acts

[@mitchthemetalhead2589]

Spotify is clueless for not having Tallah on the list. They should be 1-10 honestly, best Nu-Metal band since the O.G.’s (Slipknot, Korn, Mudvayne, Linkin Park, Nothingface, etc.). Both of their albums (Matriphagy and The Generation of Danger) are masterpieces!

[@nu-metalfan2654]

That Indigo Blaze track actually went hard. I looked them up they are an Australian act that are heavily, heavily influenced by Beastie Boys and Limp Bizkit. I just listened to another track of theirs and it’s pretty much a Beastie Boys song. It was basically Watcha, Watcha, Want?.

[@indigoblazeband]

Hell yeah cheers for checking us out mate 💪🏽

[@eEnzo0]

Wargasm has also some different nü metal tracks, apart from that track with Fred Durst. I've seen them in Hamburg at Babymetal concert and they are quite decent.

[@drnick0]

Totally agree with the editor (is it Caleb?) .bHP fkn *slaps* as someone who was in midst of the nu-metal scene in the late 90's/early 00s, its fills me with joy that there current bands that are keeping the nu-metal vibe alive ❤🤘

[@IsaacTuduriLlabres]

New Metal is the musical equivalent to Mr. Burns dressing like Jimbo on the school...

[@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000]

And still better than ur favorite genre

[@IsaacTuduriLlabres]

@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 Nah... you're genre is for whiggers who refuse to grow up... 😉

[@IsaacTuduriLlabres]

@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 Nah... that genre is for posers who refuse to grow up...

[@SEVEN_DUCK]

I might be biased but Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust easily has the best voice in the genre. I wish they had more popularity. Drumming by morgan rose is tight af They consistently have banger riffs too courtesy of clint lowery and john connolly

[@dxfifa]

Sevendust should have been as big as Korn if there was any justice.

[@nurplepain3636]

LAJON IS THE GOAT!!!

[@williamsummerson1204]

LaJon is an amazing vocalist.

[@brazenatheist1676]

Yeah, easily one of the highest energy, heavy as fuck shows I've ever been too was sevendust with nonpoint opening for them.

[@lightningmonky7674]

They have a cool band name, maybe I should give em a listen

[@daedra888x]

omg ty for listening to my song thieves of virtue haha admittedly it was just a scrapped demo I mixed to have sumn to release not expecting it to go anywhere, but I will def say I think the ‘new nu metal’ songs with trap metal vocals mixed with metalcore choruses is not rlly my favorite I guess it’s nu metal idk just feels more like pop rock n I hope the little rapper solo acts like myself can progress the genre better together. Anyways much love ty again haha :p!

[@StevenZissimos]

Surprised that you didn't cover Alpha Wolf. Their latest track is a straight banger.

[@MyBroSux24]

Actually suprised Alligatoah is on this list! His new album dropped this friday, and i love his shift/experimentation with Nü sounds as a German rap artist. The whole record is such a trip back.

[@szolssfgame8722]

.bhp is my unexpected finding of late 2023. Their whole debut album is lit

[@Dreamingofthisplace]

silly goose are dope asf they from my city and I got to do vocals with jackson at a house show once. super chill guys.

[@MichaelFromTheAttic]

The second one is literally a copyright free instrumental you can buy online💀For real, it's called End It All by Bad Kid.

[@illMetBySunlight]

Spoopify is almost on point with this one And yeah, Wes always has bonkers riffs, damn shame the new LB album is so short

[@MostMetalRowan]

The lack of Tallah and Alpha Wolf is disturbing.

[@mayalansky]

Is Alpha Wolf nu-metal?

[@embertheraccoon37]

​@@mayalansky I think the last two singles will be able to answer that question for you.

[@StevenZissimos]

​@@mayalanskythey've always been nu-metal inspired. But they've fully embraced that nu-metal sound in their latest tracks.

[@loust1264]

bring back the noise was pretty nu ​@@mayalansky

[@mayalansky]

Alright fair enough I haven’t listened to them recently

[@kombatchief]

Drowning Pool actually makes bangers. Soldiers is great. The Heresy is a vibe but a bit repetitive.

[@monerboat]

The 3 second cameo of dead zone blind channel was enough for me to look it them up in play them on repeat! Thanks niknoc

[@Ki11Th3mA11Kid]

10 Years is FIRE

[@_ck06]

I always love when Blind Channel ja mentioned in any video i love them

[@Afterhours.101]

Uhhh 10 years is phenomenal

[@Marin_SinceApril]

I hope Nick finds my Band one day on spotify. Would love to feat. him in our song and do a dual guitar solo before a breakdown

[@Anambor69]

I saw .bHP play at the Bloodstock festival and they were a super young Polish band. They kicked ass, I thoroughly enjoyed them.

[@typischandrea]

I knew From Ashes To New since 2020 and I love them 🥰❤️‍🩹

[@hyperstasisband]

That’s interesting Nik . we are starting our journey maybe one day we will be on that playlist. 🤔

[@alisoncorrigan1558]

Thanks just listening now good shit keep it up🤘

[@rezashojaei9170]

Creature's chorus was the most Linkin Park-ish thing I've heard recently.

[@zabacinjsh]

This brings me joy ngl, been anticipating a revival for a while now and been checking bands trying to get it rolling since 2016

[@FireToTheThrone]

10 years is like... early 2000's. Surprised you didn't know them as they're one of my favorite bands of the time. Wasteland and Beautiful are amazing songs

[@me3kr0b]

The fact you didn’t know 10 years makes me feel so old lol

[@michaeltaaqui]

I just have one question now: where's tallah?

[@MrWeedy1600]

You guys should really check this band BHP. Nik played a snippet of their song Crownless, which absolutely rip

[@redshiftit8303]

Drowning Pool, holy shit!!! Thanks man, Ryan McCombs will be back as lead vocals, sick...

[@phreshxmetal]

I've never thought of Deftones as nü metal before

[@TheWereyCar]

Of all the bands I never expected Nick to not know, 10 years tops the list wtf

[@DarkCloudVA2]

10 years definetly needs more recognition. They usually put out some bangers

[@saturnz13]

i found out Silly goose dropped a new single from this video.

[@sized2137]

havent watched it yet but i hope BHP was mentioned

[@Storm23PS3]

How do you not know 10 Years???

[@monstanna]

That’s my favorite Spotify playlist currently. They have Wargasm. I think „new“ means released within 5 years maybe

[@noparkingnoparking]

New Nu Metal bands that people should know- PALEDUSK Ocean Grove (flip phone fantasy album specifically) WARGASM UK trust me

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

8:02 how in the world Lost is not in Number One spot? this song should deserve the best recognition in Nu Metal history of the charts in my opinion.

[@altpath]

10 years goes way back. They're on the second family values tour CD (the big festival korn used to do).

[@ahoychoy5344]

It's good to see that old nu metal bands still makes song. I grew up listening to nu metal and seeing the bands that I used to listen to adapt to the new style of metal nowadays is really great to see.

[@indigoblazeband]

Up the blaze! Cheers for giving us a lil rip brother 💪🏽

[@samuelwood8010]

Silly Goose is sick. They came by a Palaye Royale concert once and played outside after it finished, super hard band

[@letsscarejessi4742]

As a German I feel personally attacked that Alligatoah featuring Fred Durst is shown but not listened and reacted to in this video

[@ayemoruz2956]

so basically to spotify the New NU metal is just rap+phonk+ metalcore breakdowns

[@lol-hy4mk]

10 years is great

[@Storm23PS3]

Yes...

[@LandstrykereiFjordene]

I didn't expected RED by SiM in this playlist. This song is more on Post-hardcore like side

[@thelukephone]

Also, check out the album "The Autumn Effect" by 10 Years. Great stuff!

[@besii24]

I think this is Nu Metal now

[@DiZzAzZtErPrOdUcTiOnS]

Canohead is worth checking out for some new nu metal that stays pretty true to the origins.

[@jasonsandoval9435]

Diamond construct is sick and some stuff could maybe qualify as new nu.

[@joshuahoogeveen3273]

At first I was shocked you had never heard of 10 Years, then I remembered I discovered them last year. They have some real hidden bangers! Mushroomhead is a throwback too.

[@starsystemdebula]

With every new video, Nik looks a bit more like Salad Fingers

[@DeagleLas]

Finally, you're awake. Love you for that, JCaleb. Any Skyrim reference will warm my heart.

[@ChickenboyGaming]

BLIND CHANNEL LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@staylitent]

Dude Drowning Pool album "Sinner" where "Bodies" is included is fire imo you should give it a try

[@Quickzzz]

Silly Goose is sick, they drive around in their van and tour in like parking lots of concerts or inside of food chains. basically the new WHAT THE FUCK IS UP DENNYS?!

[@redd780]

bhp are sick, saw them two times

[@bradh6529]

10 years are great! They supported three days grace a year or so ago

[@Hellseeker1]

Earche My Eye by Korn is the best Nu Metal song ever made.

[@originalkulaid]

My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live

[@andywhite5284]

THE SKYRIM STATS LOL

[@itspietime4u]

The aussie accent out of indigo blaze threw me

[@berkerrang4149]

The singer of Dir en Grey has a new nu metal band named Petit Brabancon that goes hard too

[@The_Stark_Contrast]

check out the riffs in the songs Blue Stark Kachina and The Ascendant by VIA. Perhaps some New NU!

[@pierremaiden]

we will know that Caleb lost his job when there is no more Skyrim references in the edits!

[@jim_sd20]

I just listened to Deathphonk and Nik Nocturnal’s “I”. It melted my inline fuse to my subwoofer 😂😂

[@RollingDutchmann]

Why did Ronnie's rap remind me of the trap/rap line in Ariana Grande's 7 Rings? 😂

[@alexandruv]

New Nu Metal band - Ashes Like Rain

[@Chaz4543]

Its not a band its 1 guy.

[@alexandruv]

But it's nu metal ain't it? 🤷 Even more impressive

[@c4bb4g32]

Mushroomhead mentioned 🤩🤩

"As a deathcore vocalist, I can confirm that ten years is old." ☠☠

Dropout Kings are great. Two last albums were fun af. And Wargasm released a 10/10 album too

[@graxy_tv]

@1:30 Nice ESO UI element.

[@Riichr]

That sillygoose was an unexpected banger if i say so myself

[@PSZEMKI]

New alpha wolf would fit there

[@jyeehaw]

Additions to the list of which bands should’ve been included; Fox Lake and liveconformdie

[@theray4002]

UnityTX not being here is a S I N of the highest order

[@securedrop1784]

Alpha wolf released a song with Ice-T

[@pissing_bloood]

Gotta say 'Swollen Teeth' is a great new Nu-Metal band. Sid Wilson from Slipknot, Ghostemane and legendary Ross Robinson are working with them.

[@LILAC_CHAOS]

Second one sounded like We Die Young by AiC

[@banannax420]

8:02 alligatoah lmao

[@thearmoda]

Saw Dope, Mushroomhead, Fear Factory, and Static-X last year everyone is still going, covid kinda just made everyone regroup and work on new shit

[@vaamphyr]

Wargasm is really fun

[@plaguekelly1750]

Silly Goose slaps. Love those guys!

[@ThatRedHusky]

I'm expecting Poopyflu to think Spineshank is new. I was 100% expecting it.

[@Brandon_Renegade]

I literally curated a Playlist called "Nu Metal Now" if y'all wanna listen to that one as well.

[@DCJayhawk57]

All the rising French metalcore bands are nü metal inspired. LANDMVRKS, ASHEN, Resolve, NOVELISTS. THEY ALSO LIKE ALL CAPS.

[@PPPasha5]

After so many speech upgrades Nik is able to beat skyrim without a single fight

[@JakeSciortino-vo7gc]

Check out Jynx, super underrated “nu-metalcore” band from New York. The guitarist is the KZbinr Johnny Wang and I’d recommend starting with their G.O.A.T. EP.

[@MrEly777]

Fuck yeah Silly Goose has great energy on stage

[@magnoliaparkband]

He was #1

[@madmaxmusic89]

Where is Tallah, Cane Hill? That new band Sleeping dog? Other bands like that?
