Nothing special? Nonsense. Aria did much more for Russian heavy metal than Metallica, and Iron Maiden is generally a stronger band than Metallica. Their music is much more complex, and their philosophy is deeper. And I'm not even talking about their contribution to metal.
That was a long time ago, and I listen to all kinds of rock music, so Metallica has done more for rock music in general than Aria has for Russia...
Note: let's not forget that rock music was brought to us from abroad, and without the Beatles, there would have been nothing.
The reference is so-so. What problems are mentioned as alternatives? It's all pretty stale.
Nu-Metal is one of the latest varieties of heavy rock. While traditional Heavy Metal and Thrash, in particular, are based on straightforward, fast rhythms, Nu-Metal is characterized by slow, groovy patterns. The vocal line is usually not melodic; hip-hop-style rapping is often used. As in all other branches of the genre, the guitar carries the main load, but along with the standard "guitar-bass-drums" ensemble, additional musicians and expressive means can be used - DJs, several vocalists, and samplers. "Faith No More" (album "The Real Thing") and "Helmet" ("Meantime") are considered pioneers of Nu-Metal.
Metallica doesn't have many songs that really address important issues; it's mostly lyrics.
I don't listen to music for the lyrics, so lyrics aren't the most important thing for me.
Exactly. Pop, rap, and heavy metal. A terrible combination.
No, it's called experimentation, originality.
Slot, and I haven't listened to anything else except for a few songs by Amatori. By the way, I liked HOW the guys play, but WHAT they play is impossible to listen to. Have they even heard of melody? And their covers are really good. So, if Slot is considered average... Ugh, I'm afraid to imagine weaker bands. I might die from a sonic shock.
Don't imagine, I can name Tokio Hotel :smile48: :smile48: :smile48:
Ah! Nu-metal! Sorry... But what is this style anyway? If it includes Korn and Linkin Park? At least I've heard that they are representatives of this style. Even though their music is completely different. True, in Linkin Park, there is what I said in the previous post, and in Korn, there are long, drawn-out, and boring passages.
style Mallcore:
The name (also incorrectly associated with NU-metal) given to post-grunge bands,
whose albums can be bought in malls. These bands have strong hardcore
elements in their music (aggressive vocals, lack of heaviness). Mallcore can also be easily identified
by the lyrics, which are aimed at teenagers. The meaning of the lyrics ranges from attempts at suicide,
childhood grievances, to meaningless longing. Good examples of such bands are Korn, Linkin Park,
Machine Head, and Drowning Pool.
Rap and hardcore don't mix. The guitar wasn't invented for rap, and rap wasn't invented for heavy music. It's like playing R&B to classical music.
Listen to Clawfinger, at least the song Confrontation; it's a perfect combination of rap and hardcore.
You say it's not dying out? Well, name a few young, promising bands, both here and abroad. From our side, I'd probably mention Arda and Kharizma. I'm listening.
+1 for a well-expressed opinion, even though I don't agree with it.
I don't know about Russian bands, but I can name some promising Ukrainian bands: Tol, Anna, Karna, Merva.
