Best Nu Metal Bands

Nu metal fused aggressive hard rock with hip-hop influences, creating a sound characterized by heavy distorted guitars, rapping vocals, and often politically or socially charged lyrics. Its popularity peaked in the late 1990s and early 2000s, launching bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit to mainstream success. While its mainstream popularity waned, nu metal's impact on subsequent rock and metal subgenres remains undeniable.
