Anyone remember about five years ago when I kicked off an absolute shitstorm by admitting that Sepultura's Roots was probably the main album that made me want to play guitar when I was a kid? And that I thought a lot of that early "Nu-Metal" and Nu-Metal adjacent stuff that was coming out on Roadrunner Records back in the mid 90s (by which I mean Sepultura, Machine Head, Fear Factory, Nailbomb, Thorn, Brujeria, first Couple Soulfly albums, first two Slipknot Albums, first Ill Nino album, second VOD album, Merauder, etc.) was actually pretty fucking okay? 'Cos boy I sure do... I legitimately lost friends over that shit.
Flash forward to present day and whaddaya know, the cool kids are doing it and there's a full on Nu-Metal covers comp on The fucking Flenser.
And seriously, no disrespect to the label or the artists involved 'cos some of these covers are pretty fucking great, but as far as the rest of the world? I would Like my apology now.
