    I was born in 1989 and didn’t get into metal until I was 10, by way of Korn and Limp Bizkit, so I didn’t experience most of this when it was new, but I do love the 90s alternative metal era. Really felt like an “anything goes” era where crazy leftfield ideas could get popular and start trends. If there’s one thing I like a lot about metal, it’s that it inspires so many different weird little splinter subgenres, and the 90s era was the genesis of that.

      Also born in 1989, however I didn't really get into rock/metal until I was in my late teens/20s. Grew up in a house with just my mom, brother and me, and we only really listened to country music. It wasn't until we all moved in with my dad that I started hearing more genres of music, and wasn't until I was living on my own with my husband that I really started exploring my musical tastes. Found that I'm WAY more fond of rock/metal etc. When people talk about all the great music that everyone else grew up with, I feel cheated out on having that experience like everyone else. So at 33 years old, I'm listening to music I'm sure most people would say I'm too old to be listening to, but dammit I got a lot of catching up to do. LOL.

    Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Progressive Death Metal, Black Metal, Nu Metal, Deathcore, Metallic Hardcore, Metalcore, Beatdown Hardcore, Grunge, Post Grunge, Groove Metal, Post Hardcore, and putting Grindcore really on the map and hardcore as we now it today.

    Type O was such a unique band. From a production standpoint, the guitars, bass and synths often conflated so you couldn't quite tell them apart. They always knew when less was more and even used drum machines on a string of albums when that could have been ridiculed, but it all paid off. They always self-produced too. Pete Steele's genius, self-aware lyrics and songwriting set them apart completely from so many bands - goth or otherwise - who took themselves far too seriously. On the other hand, Steele was one of the first people I remember seeing in interviews who would openly discuss his mental health struggles and suicide attempts. A very articulate and intelligent guy whose words and lyrics have helped me a bunch over the years.

    You nailed it Finn. I´m 40, I started listening to metal back in 98. I was 16 or something. I rather my Nu metal above everything else, but, even I have heard everything you just used in the video. I dont listen to Carcass, but man, Heartwork is such a good song!. And when you talked about Fear Factory... dude, FF is definitely the definition of 90´s metal. They were so great back in the day. Their new stuff is good too, but Soul of a New Machine and Demanufacture are the greatest industrial metal ever. Machine Head and Pantera. Yeah, Pantera changed everything. To me, Pantera is the greatest metal band of all times, although I have never really been into them, but we cannot deny the impact that their music has had on metal.
    Another great bands to include may be Deftones, Slayer (although I don´t like them), Alice in Chains, RATM, Nine Inch Nails and Biohazard, among many many others. A second part should be done Finn.

    Thanks for this video. The 90s were also my teenage years and you´ve brought back so many good memories. I agree that the 90s were probably the most innovative decade in metal. So many people who got into metal in the 80s will disagree, of course.
    Hey Finn, is it possible that you were born in 1978, just like me?

    1988 English kid. I spent the mid 90s thinking I knew it all with Metallica and iron maiden, then a Welsh kid turned up at school in a slipknot hoody in 99. Game changer. I moved on to korn, soulfly, machine head, (enjoying them all as I transitioned from cd Walkman to mini disc player) then just as my new krew started getting into tool.. I discovered pantera.. phew! That was a Close one. I then spent my late teens embracing the SCENE with my new fringe and met my wife at a deathcore club at the age of 23.
    BTW that Welsh kid is still my best friend at the age of 34..

    They’re not quite a 90s band, but one band id really love to hear your opinion on is Torche (floor too).

Probably my favorite band of all time, Meanderthal being my favorite album of all time

      In my community, slipknot carried that “bad stigma” all the way up until the release of post-Jordison material. Not that he had anything to do with their “commercial” sound…rather coincidental timing. Also in my community, unfortunately, if you love Korn you’re kind of placed in the same category as a Juggalo. However, Korn in an undeniably important band in metal history, as well as Slipknot.

    Jane's addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual is such a diverse great album. "Three Days" and "Then She Did" are long epics, kind of like "One" or "The Grudge". People mostly hear the singles which are good but different, so I feel like many miss out on their best songs. Multiple artists at their peak together.

    The 90s was such a unique time for rock. Because on the rock stations I may hear Psycho Circus by Kiss play, and then immediately after that it would be Dragula by Rob Zombie, followed up with Mouth by Bush, and then Without You by Van Halen and up next Paranoid by Black Sabbath. It was such a diverse time for rock music.

    Totally agree that Fear Factory are a great band, that their stuff holds up no matter how old, that Demanufacture is a solid classic, that they pioneered making thrash chords syncing with double kick drums promonent in metal as well as combining harsh death growl vocals with clean singing so overtly.

    i also don't like a lot of melody on death metal, but i remember being in highschool and discovering the song Heartwork and feeling like the melodies and harmonies were somehow putrid sounding, like they we're beautiful but like the super wide vibrato and the extreme detuning, i don't know made them sound somehow like wrong and it fitted the vibe perfectly

  • @bdr113080
    @bdr113080 Рік тому

    Pantera, Korn, Corrosion of Conformity, Type 0 Negative, White Zombie, Body Count, Rage Against The Machine, Fear Factory , Coal Chamber, Powerman 5000 and Machine Head or my favorite 90s metal bands. You add to the fact that bands that started in the 80s like Metallica and Sepultura we’re in the prime of their careers, even Ozzy Osbourne made his solo career come back in the mid 90s, it really made the 90s a great decade to listen to metal. Just months apart from each other in two different concerts in the same venue, I got to see Ozzy , Metallica, COC, Type 0 Negative and Sepultura.
    It was also the decade that gave us Ozzfest and I will always argue that the first three or four Ozzfest were the best in a lot of the bands in this video, got to be a part of that festival.

    One I felt kinda personified 90s hard rock and metal was Helmet. This weird mashup of post grunge, groove, and the template sound for a lot of nu metal. Maybe they could be part of a list called “also featuring” since they had an amazing ability to be second or third on the bill for any rock show with 4 bands or more.

    90s metal will forever be my favourite time in metal. My teen years as well. Went to Lollapalooza 93 and saw Alice in Chains, Tool, Primus... absolutely incredible! Saw Fear Factory 3 times supporting Demanufacture, each show was crushing! Glad someone in your comments mentioned Prong, another incredible band who are highly underrated. Long time Carcass fan, for me though, Heartwork enhanced Carcass, although Necroticism is my favourite.

    You’ve got to remember Michael Amott was in Carcass when Heartwork was released. And we all know he went on to form Arch Enemy. So without that record, At The Gates, and In Flames, the Massachusetts bands would’ve never taken off. Almost all of them have stated they were massive influences on their sound.
