listen to look no further
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
influential new metal bang for this list
we considered any band that is primarily
classified as new metal that means that
any band that hasn’t consistently
explored the nu metal sound like
disturbed will unfortunately be left off
the list
these may not be the best but they
represent just how far the metal genre
has come
number ten drowning pool
we start off the list by letting the
bodies hit the floor
founded in Texas in 1996 drowning pool
quickly rose to stardom in 2001 with
their platinum albums sinner sinner
became the perfect representation of the
band’s style at the time which can be
considered a blend of hard rock and
alternative metal
over the years the badness had a
revolving cast of vocalists with each
one only staying with the band for an
album or two despite the constant lineup
changes the band has maintained a
consistent level of quality
number nine trapped
are you headstrong we didn’t think so
our first but not last california-based
new metal band trapped burst onto the
scene with their first official single
headstrong off their self-titled album
the song showcased traps twist on the
new metal genre being considered one of
the best hard rock songs of the 2000s a
driving force in the popularity of new
metal in the early 2000s trap shows fans
just how expansive the genre really is
number eight
Evanescence formed in Arkansas
Evanescence’s introduction into the new
metal genre was with their monumentally
successful debut album fallen
that album alone sold over 17 million
copies showing just how popular the band
became in such a short amount of time
featuring the theatrical vocals of Amy
Lee Evanescence created some of the best
new metal out there being described as
purely gothic
while Evanescence has been compared to
new metal acts such as Linkin Park and P
OD the band has created a style of their
own which has left the legacy for future
new metal bands to follow
number seven p OD
point of delivery no not metal annoy
payable-on-death is more like it
founded in 1992 in Southern California
this Christian rock band has had an
ever-changing style over the years
originating in rap metal they slowly
transitioned to the reggae influenced
new metal style that they are most known
for
most prevalent on the band’s fourth
album satellite listeners welcomed the
transition with open arms as it quickly
became Quixote’s best-selling album with
12 million record sales and three Grammy
nods later it’s no wonder why they’re
considered one of the best new metal
acts out there
cut my life into pieces this is my last
resort suffocation no six Papa Roach
this could be our last resort forming in
the early 90s in Vacaville California
Papa Roach didn’t gain mainstream
success until their sophomore album
infest
the album introduced listeners to the
band’s original aggressive rapping and
hard rocking style through tracks like
last resort and between angels and
insects
although papa roach’s change their sound
quite a bit over the years
it is the rap metal sound that they are
most associated with which helped in
selling over 20 million records
worldwide
number five death tones
the oldest entry on our list california
experimental rock band Deftones are a
prime example of clashing genres
gaining influence from rap and
psychedelic rock to even the electronic
genre trip-hop
there is simply no way to classify the
band style
while they were considered nu-metal
until the release of their third album
white pony many now believe that they
have moved past the label to something
entirely new
a career spanning more than 20 years and
seven albums now is no time to slow down
number four Linkin Park it starts with I
don’t know why it doesn’t try the place
where new metal meets the mainstream is
where you will find our next entry
another California bands Linkin Park
swiftly rose to fame on an international
scale with their first album Hybrid
Theory
along with their second album meteora
the bad blended new and rap-metal to
make a more radio-friendly tone
while you can arguably say they went in
a different direction with some of their
latest work 60 million record sales
underneath their belt show that this
isn’t necessarily a bad thing
although in the end we just hope these
guys return to their roots I’ve put my
truck
number three Slipknot
who are behind the masks some badass new
metal rockstars that’s who
hailing from the great state of Iowa
this seven member group yes you heard
that right seven have become synonymous
with the masks they hide behind
known for their aggressive musical style
and chaotic live shows the band has
earned themselves countless grabbing
arms and has sold out the world’s
largest venues
while they are classified as nu-metal
the banners distance themselves from the
genre describing their sound simply as
metal metal how metal
number two limp Biskit there’s no way we
could have forgotten the biscuit these
Jacksonville Florida rockers made a name
for themselves and quickly became a must
listen in the new metal genre
whether it be vocalist Fred Durst’s
angry and rhythmic lyrics or their
elaborate stage shows with their use of
uniforms and face paint there are plenty
of reasons to love them
they must have the new metal formula
down pat as it has nabbed them three
Grammy knives and over fifty million
records sold worldwide despite not being
quite as popular as they used to be the
legacy these boys left will just keep
rolling
before we rock out to our top pick here
a few honorable mentions
always
number one corn many fans consider corn
the pioneers of new metal and there’s no
denying that they are here to stay
corn gained recognition by stretching
out the metal genre and wrapping it into
something of their own
they owe much of their success to the
incorporation of non-traditional
elements on early works like freak on a
leash as well as later works like their
collaboration with dubstep artist
Skrillex and kill the noise whatever
they’re doing they’re doing it right as
