Where has Nu Metal gone?

The beginnings

I was young and ignorant. In fact, my love of music can be traced back to my childhood, at least from what I remember, I had a good idea of what music was around the age of 4-5 and even had a favourite popular song.

Of course, I was first introduced to Pop music, like almost every normal child in the 80s. It was a completely normal phenomenon at the time. In fact, I think that the Pop and Rock music of the 80s was the most original, diverse, epoch-making, stylistically groundbreaking and unrepeatable.

Pop after Rock. I mean Glam Rock…

Then came Glam Rock, through which I began to get to know Rock music better. Of course, it wasn’t the English Glam Rock bands of the ’70s that I was into, I’m thinking of artists like Bon Jovi. Yes, do you remember the days when Bon Jovi used to wear those awful clothes with the horrible dreadlocks? Well, I caught that Glam Rock era as a child. Even now I often smile when I think of those days. Of course, I still smile when I play a good game of kasyno hell spin.

Gothic was my salvation

Just as I was influenced by 80s Pop music as a child, I was fortunate to be introduced to Depeche Mode at the same time, which brought something new to me besides the distinctive synthesizer sound, and even a Gothic sound and feel. Of course, at such a young age, I didn’t even know what I was listening to, nor was I familiar with these concepts, but I was always drawn to the dark and sombre elements that make music considered gothic by experts.

Later on, of course, the Gothic Rock genre became close to my heart, but I always liked music that had a heavy guitar instrumentation and a strong synthesizer sound. But I also often hear heavy synth sounds when I’m spinning on kasyno hell spin Slot games as a relaxing break.

When I first met the band HIM in 1999, I immediately felt like I had finally come home, because they had everything I needed: the gothic of the Cure and Depeche Mode, the edgy metal sound of glam rock, and the melodies I love so much in pop music. I thought I really had it all when it came to my favourite music, but I soon realised that I was insatiable when it came to music, and I’m not ashamed to admit that today, as a matter of fact.

If we’re talking millennium, then Nu Metal

I discovered the Nu Metal style at the same time as the Finnish band HIM and I can tell you that although the two styles of music are completely different, my taste has embraced both. I might have been very lucky, but it’s for sure that both styles had a huge influence on me later on.

I got all the romance from Gothic music, and the crushing guitar, alternative drumming styles and Hip-Hop sound that Nu Metal provided for me through the songs of Korn and Limp Bizkit.

But my love of Nu Metal doesn’t stop there. The truth is, Nu Metal’s style was influenced by so many that it couldn’t survive for long. It was also influenced by Trash Metal, and the many alternative artists from such diverse backgrounds. The Nu Metal style was too new and not strong enough to cope with all these sudden changes, so it quickly got lost in the sea of musical styles.

I hope kasyno hell spin will stay around for a long time and our long friendship will not end soon.

I, personally, miss it very much and would be very happy if it was still a living and thriving style of music today, but today I have to find other favourites for myself. True, it often happens that I listen to an old Korn album.
