- CHAOSEUM is a metal band from Switzerland that is making waves on UA-cam among the metal community. Specifically their latest music video for "Smile Again" has been getting a lot of traction with over 4M views on UA-cam. This song is both praised and criticised for sounding very much like the metal giants KORN! So is CHAOSEUM just a KORN RIPOFF or in fact a beginning of a Nu Metal revival which according to fans of "Smile Again" is sorely needed!

Quick speech. In the interviews with the lead singer ” ck Smile ” he Said that they are inspired by Korn and other early 2000s bands and he wants to bring the nu metal sound back.
First time I heard “Smile Again”, I said “Korn has a new song?” But when I watched the video I had the same reaction as many, Somebody Someone rip off. Then I heard Chaoseums other songs and instantly loved it. “Hell has no way out”, “Into my split” are amazing songs. The whole album is great. I became an instant fan. 🤘🏼
People kept spamming this song on a big Facebook nu Metal group and honestly I got sick of hearing about it, and hadn't listened until watching this. They seem alright, I don't hate them, anything that keeps nu Metal alive is OK in my book.
Oh damn I made you listen to it! 😂 Well that’s how these things go… I mean the oversharing, especially it’s not everyday that something related to NU Metal goes viral.
@@saysthemanbehindthemask All good, I was kinda curious but had forgotten about it. Then saw your notification so was like, eh fuck it let's see
Cool! Thanks for sticking around for such a long time man! You’ve been subbed to me for years now! I Appreciate your support always!
Dude I feel the same way, I felt it was hyped up then finally decided to give them a listen they're actually pretty decent and added their album to my daily playlist.
Tons of dope riffs and tons of Korn influence, but to me their not rip offs they kinda pull it off in their own way.
Also like the dude said in the video, Korn won't be around forever so we need someone to carry the torch, maybe it's these guys...who knows.
I have never heard of this band until this video. Now, I'm going to have to check them out. Honestly, I feel like Nu Metal is LONG overdue for a revival. Most genres or subgenres of music have, why not Nu Metal? This proves that Nu Metal has been more influential than most people thought and I think that's a good thing.
In terms of revival I gave my point of view already... I am on the fence about it because KORN is still on my playlist whenever I need it and I don't know if there's anything that we didn't already hear that can be done within this sub genre. But Nu metal's influence has really been huge and it's been very evident for the past couple of years. It's coming back harder and harder. If the album Limp Bizkit will hopefully release will be good I think it will tip the scales completely. I mean Durst has been making waves big time... so Nu metal is on the tips of many people's tongues. It's interesting really!
@@saysthemanbehindthemask It'll be interesting to see that's for sure.
@@saysthemanbehindthemask I mean yeah nu metal is one of the most influential genre in metal in my opinion, I think we still have a chance to see new things in nu metal with bands like: tallah,slaughter to prevail (death core band with a lot of nu metal influences),tetrach and maybe spirit box.
I don't think nu metal will be mainstream again but could revive (at least in metal community) and get it's deserve respect. Be
I love this band. We’re all inspired by someone. It’s pretty cool to see a revival of nu metal.
Have you heard Tetrarch? Also a lot of different but very clear Nu Metall inspiration.
I discovered those two bands around the same time through UA-cam suggestions.
I more or less bought their albums straight away.
Chaoseum feels like a new version of KoRn, but a lot of their other songs are very much their own. Especially their older songs are nothing like KoRn.
Tetrarch is a good mix of everything Nu Metal and I really like them a lot. They are also very young, so I hope they'll get a bright future and keep giving us awesome music.
These guys must just keep doing what they are doing. Its good. I like it A LOT. Sound like or doesn't sound like I dont care, besides, do you want CK Smiles to cut his vocal cords or something not to sound like Jonathan Davis? His voice is his voice. ROCK ON BOYS!!!! Keep on doing what you are doing and Ill keep listening
NU-METAL Revival!!! Obviously KOЯN was a huge influence on them and that's awesome, Al bands have influence, they have one song that sounds like them, all their other stuff is awesome also. Hope they swing throy WI or close too cuz I'm definitely going
I’ve heard of Chaoseum and listened to their song. They seem interesting, but I hope to see these guys have their own style. Not saying they should get rid of the KoRn sound overall; I think the instrumentals are top notch and stand out. The vocal delivery, though, can get people to think they’re nothing more than a KoRn clone, even the instrumentals can, at time, can be heard as something of a modern KoRn B - side. I don’t know what these guys will do next, but I wish them the best. I think if they keep the sound they’re doing now while blending in a new style that is particularly their own, they might stick around. But if they tend to sound a little too on the KoRn rim without changing anything, they might, somewhat, fall into the route of Flymore.
Glad I saw this video before the music video, just checked the music video and I'm seeing more than just KoRn, can't pinpoint it but maybe Orgy, Mushroomhead, Mudvayen stuff like that maybe even a little Spineshank etc. ... but yeah its a lot of KoRn and I have a headache which might be affecting my memory and recall.
That said the singer looks like the lead singers of Coal Chamber and Hed PE (Planet Earth) smashed together.
Edit/PS: Didn't hate it. (but I'm assuming the next song will make or break them, ie.if they'll be able to keep around the people that liked Smile Again or not.)
Listen it once and felt in love with it! Won't lie, the Joker look hooked me to listen the first time. I'm not a big fan of Korn. I just love what i hear. Wish them a long life and hope them come to Quebec so i can meet them!! And guys ( and girls), just love the music, it's more simple and more fun!
Have you heard of Chaoseum? They have been going viral over the past few months with a sound that you may find VERY FAMILIAR!
Could they be the revival of Nu Metal or just another KORN Copycat? Let's talk about that!

Thank you,

They have some really great stuff, I love Korn and these guys seem like they are talented.
Speaking of the nu metal revival, not sure if you're really in the loop of things but have you heard:
Tallah
Flash back
Darknet
A lot of people would add vein to this list because they have a turntablist but they're still very much a hardcore band with some nu metal elements.
Nah dude… those don’t qualify as a revival. I am aware of Tallah the other 2 don’t even come up if you search on UA-cam… which means they are very much underground. Even Tallah being the biggest out of 3 did not break 1M views on their most popular video. When it comes to reviving a genre there needs to be demand. Chaoseum is probably over 5M views on their 2 videos of the same song posted. If you are going to include every underground band and deem that a revival that would mean Nu metal never really went away… because there’s plenty of underground Nu metal bands active to this day. This band tells a totally different story too… the amount of views and likes it doesn’t just say we want a new kind of Nu metal sound like Tallah for example does… people who liked this video by Chaoseum seem to be hungry for that specific middle of the road Korn sound of late 90’s… it’s a totally different discussion. So I’d say I am in the loop even though I do not seek out Nu metal specifically as i’ve had enough back in the day. You might want to check INVERTOR they are from Russia… similar to Tallah but better in my opinion as it’s more coherent
@@saysthemanbehindthemask Fair enough, i was also just recommending some good bands, i can link Darknet and Flash back if you're interested:

Flash back:

They've been getting a lot of buzz in the underground nu metal scene, Flash back was even on the Nu breed podcast.
I'm down for a nu-metal revival
Mega !!! Weiter so! Bitte mehr davon :) \m/
lol okay! Thank you!
I think they are between a rock and a hard place now. If they go with their original sound most new fans won't stay around. If they try the Korn 2.0 route, it's gonna get old quick and they'll go by the wayside. In my opinion best thing they can do, is to fuse the two styles together best they can and see what happens. And ride this gravy train as long as they can to help build a following
True true… it’s rough… the internet is vicious. I agree… them trying to somehow combine their style with this Korn approach and hope for the best! If they play their cards right it could be interesting!
@@saysthemanbehindthemask That's the only option they really have to try and make the best of this success
I like Chaoseum very much Korn inspired band
When I hear the music of Chaoseum, the Sesame Street Theme Song pops up in my head....
Okay.... The reason why Choaseum is a commercial-music trend that is among us now is because the world of today's music is at a low of lows....
The most generic music gets all the affection/attention in all the world now....
Cannot be scared to play #NuMetal and it takes earthly devotions to stand up on stage to reveal their creativity.
You should make a video about ross robinson and his production style and his methods and his involvement in nu metal his muddy raw production which I really really like raw is the way to go and his ways of getting the best performance out any band he is working with like pushing the bands to the breaking point to get a aggressive performance
That actually is a good idea! 😉 something to think about. Thank you for the suggestion
Chaoseum lembra muito KoRn
check out Tallah, this is numetal revival done right. They add a lot of new and interesting stuff
Yes I know of them… but I don’t know it doesn’t quite work for me. They are leaning into more aggressive area of Slipknot’s sound but the song writing is simply not as good… at least comparing to early Slipknot.
They are like the new KORN!
Sort of… but do we really need one? I doubt anyone can do Korn better than Korn
A KoЯn tribute band.
This one and their song Unreal sound like Korn but that's pretty much it...their other songs don't sound like Korn. They have a lot of thrash sounding songs and even an acoustic album that's really good. Check out other songs before you judge them completely👍👍
I mean don’t get wrong it sounds sooooo much like Korn… I’m not like the most hardcore Korn fan.. but they’re definitely good. And I heard this and immediately heard Korn. I like Korn. So I don’t really mind the comparison. I actually like the song
Even if they sound like Korn.... listen to them isolated and then judge. I like the sound, i like the songs... i do not care if they sound like anyone else. If the material is good, it is good, period. Trivium sounded like Metallica in some songs, but why getting mad? Cmon...
i still wait for a band that brings back the vibes of crazy town or cypress hill... or may be Linkin Park (early days), just imagine.....
Well… honestly right now Nu Metal is on the rise. So your dream may very well come true. Check a band called Moodring, they are inspired by Nu Metal among other things. They resemble Deftones in some parts but have quite a bit of originality… far better than Chaoseum’s take on the sound and visual side of things is not so derivative
Well they sound like Korn a bit so what...how many bands want to sound like Pantera or where inspired by them....same with Black sabbath or Kiss....
I think nu metal/alt metal should have a revival but not a rehash like this track. Push things even further. Make things more experimental and dark. I think one of the last bands to be successful at this was Hollywood Undead but feel like it went into a corny direction. Hip hop and metal can mix. Need more people who know how to actually rap and write lyrics and not doing crossover just because they can. Stuff like Biohazard and Rage Against the Machine are examples of this succeeding. That's my opinion though.
Well I agree… just copy paste of old Nu Metal bands won’t satisfy me as well… but a LOT OF people seem to be on board with just copying… which is somewhat confusing to me. If this band or someone else manages to find a more unique approach to reviving this sub genre it would be interesting to hear!
It’s Korn. But without the meth and the talent.
Insult to injury, they’re not even trying to rip-off the good self-titled/life is peachy era of Korn, it’s their horrendous Skrillex colab disaster
Ehm… I don’t think it’s the Skrillex collab sound. This is definitely Issues era. I hear no dubstep in their music
