Nu Metal/Crossover in 2022 (so far)
List is not a ranking |
| 1 |  | Becko
You Are (Not) Alone
Primary Styles: Emo, Electronic, Anime Core
This Italian guy of Hopes Die Last shows his Otaku Pride on his new album |
| 2 |  | Bloodywood
Rakshak
Primary Styles: Rap Rock, Indian Folk Metal
Their lyrics are half English half Indian. At least they do something in the genre that hasn’t been done before (as far as I know). They call Linkin Park a big influence on their music but Bloodywood uses more politically charged lyrics |
| 3 |  | downset.
Maintain
Primary Styles: Hardcore, Rapcore
They started when mixing hip hop and hardcore was still a new thing (though they came after RATM, Biohazard and Body Count) and they are still around. As Ice Cube would say: They’re just tryin’ to maintain |
| 4 |  | Flaw
Revival
Primary Styles: Covers, Alternative Rock
Sputnik user turnip90210 wrote a devastating review on this cover album |
| 5 |  | Future Palace
Run
Primary Style: Alternative Rock
Wasn’t sure whether to put them on this list or not. But I thought some of the songs on here show nu metal influences (for example Flames and Heads Up) |
| 6 |  | (hed) p.e.
Califas Worldwide
Primary Styles: Rap Rock, Punk, G-Punk
Singer Jahred Gomez is the only (hed) PE member on this collaborative release. Some of the collaborators include Johnny Richter (King Klick, Kottonmouth Kings), HR (Bad Brains), Shifty (Crazy Town), John E Necro (OPM), Sad Silence (Analogue Forest), Lio Mori and Ipcus Pinecone (The Villebillies) |
| 8 |  | Hollywood Undead
Hotel Kalifornia
Primary Style: Rap Rock
The 8th album from the band that has it’s roots in the crunkcore scene (if anyone remembers that...) |
| 9 | | Hyro The Hero
Kids Against the Monsters
Primary Style: Rap Rock
This Ep only has 4 songs but is still filled with well known guest vocalists such as Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), AJ Channer (Fire From The Gods), Chad Gray (Hellyeah, Mudvayne) and David Draiman (Disturbed, Device) |
| 10 |  | Infected Rain
Ecdysis
Primary Style: Metalcore
The Moldovans have some nu metal influences (which may also appear in form of dreadlocks on lead singer Lena) but overall this is more metalcore |
| 11 |  | Korn
Requiem
Primary Style: Nu Metal
14th album by the nu metal OGs |
| 12 | | Manafest
I Run With Wolves
Primary Styles: Alternative Rock, Rap Rock, Christian Rock
I just found out this Canadian one man band released their first album back in 2003 |
| 13 |  | Ocean Grove
Up in the Air Forever
Primary Style: Punk
3rd album from this Australian band |
| 14 |  | Paleface
Fear & Dagger
Primary Style: Deathcore
I’m maybe the first person to put this band on a nu metal list but the vocals reminded me a lot of Slipknot |
| 15 |  | Papa Roach
Ego Trip
Primary Styles: Rap Rock, (Pop) Punk
To say opinions on this were mixed is putting it nicely (Jesper L. gave it a 1.5 in his sputnik review). But you know what people say: Roaches survive everything |
| 16 |  | Sicksense
Kings Today
Primary Style: Rap Metal
This EP is the band’s first release. Vicky Psarakis from The Agonist is part of the group that mixes male and female vocals (something I don’t see very often in the nu metal genre) |
| 17 |  | Skillet
Dominion
Primary Styles: Alternative Rock, Christian Rock
When they had their big break through with Comatose and Awake, they sounded a bit like old school Linkin Park without the hip hop elements. I think that’s why people call them nu metal |
| 18 |  | Vein.fm
This World is Going to Ruin You
Primary Style: Metalcore
Only their second LP. They are surprisingly popular on sputnik |
