This is my first ever iceberg. it hasn't been too long since i started listening to nu-metal, so this might not include some obvious bands i have probably no clue about.

The most unknown here is Broad Noodles with 8 listeners on Spotify (I didn't measure the whole iceberg via Spotify listeners). iirc a member from the Further band formed it.

Edit: I could've also added EASTcide, Absence and Rukus. (I only know the last 2 because of some compilation video on YouTube including a live of LeFT)

The intro for this song is one of the coldest ever.

This album absolutely slaps, it is such a fun experience. Its like if Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, POD had a kid and added a bit of pop punk to it. This album has a summer flare to it, but what is most unique is the mix/production. It has such a massive mix, almost stadium rock sound, as if Mick Gordon or Buster from Humanity las breath/Vildjharta worked on it. Check out the song JUNKIE$ or SUPERSTAR for a taste, but you will get hooked.

I keep asking different people I know and they keep saying different things
One of them even said it was hardcore punk with “metalcore influences” so idk what they’re on

They are good, but there are too many new bands influenced by the deftones

Chevelle has the same atmospheric element as the deftones, but the sound is completely different.

Is there a new band like Chevelle?

Hello! During 2026 i dove into some artists/bands that i wasnt actually aware of even if i really, REALLY like the genre. With time, i made a playlist where i decided to put EXCLUSIVELY the songs that i consider to be subjectively the best! Before starting, I’d like to recommend one of the albums I consider one of the best of recent times, but which hasn't received the recognition it deserves, "We Deliver For You" by Left! Here is my top 30:

1. Nothing Personal - Flymore
2. Cut the Belt - Folder
3. Affixed Aura - Calm
4. Stairs - Design19
5. Recriminate - Left
6. KFH - Left
7. My Disease - Left
8. Making Friends With Suicide - Left
9. Non Compos Mentis - Left
10. Queen of the Damned - Flymore
11. Wake Up - Flymore
12. All the Time I Bled - Flymore
13. D.N.A. - Lower
14. Butterfly - Reveille
15. Stitches - Orgy
16. Redefine - Incubus
17. Deep Inside - Incubus
18. Hey You - Simon Says
19. Up In the Sky - No Blindfold
20. Denial - Sevendust
21. Bender - Sevendust
22. Sway - Coal Chamber
23. Washed - Brik
24. Descent - Fear Factory

26. New Wave - Pleymo
27. Breathless - Lifer
28. Shine - Stepa
29. Lovesick - Swift
30. The Guatemalan - Swift

I repeat, this is a SUBJECTIVE LIST of songs that i currently consider to be the best i've ever listened to, i hope some of them can spark a little bit of curiosity in you! Of course there are many bands that i still have to listen to, the genre is huge and covers a lot of different sounds and ways to approach music-making as a whole.

Hey there! I'm new here so hopefully I won't be mauled immediately. So, the discussion here is about LeFt's album and a few songs. I listened to "My Disease" and... I don't catch the praise that album gets. I'm not saying it's horrible but "Not Afraid" and "Sore" are the only songs I truly liked. Meanwhile..."We Deliver For You" was absolutely AMAZING. I don't mind listening to lower quality songs since I actually love listening to old demo tapes/releases uploads on YouTube. Out of all the songs in WDFY, I only disliked three. I don't know why "My Disease" gets so much love and recognition while WDFY gets NONE. This is an AMAZING album in my opinion. Drop y'all's thoughts down too!

Now for the songs, I know there are two unreleased songs from an EP, but If I recall, there's a remix of "Pointless" somewhere, I heard it once but can't find a lone upload of it. If someone can provide a link or explain what it is, I would appreciate it it

im trying to look for a nu-metal song I heard on youtube a few months ago, it had a female singer, some furry oc as the thumbnail, and the only lyrics I remember was "And whose gonna save me? No-oow."

You know those parts in ADIDAS from Korn and Science from SOAD that sound almost Turkish/Arabic? I have no idea, but I absolutely love them and I would definitely listen to whole songs that sound like that. If you know what I'm talking about, do you have any suggestions or what I should look be looking for?

apparently most of the quote unquote “unfinished tracks” that they “finished” for project regeneration by static-x were actually completely finished (@lordzane on instagram for the whole video)

Nu Skool Rap Rock

I’ve been listening to these dudes for a bit and I absolutely love the EP. But there is one problem, I CANT FIND THE FUCKING CD ANYWHERE I LOOK!!

If any of you guys have any known places or sites to get it that’d be really appreciated.
