'''Groove metal''' (also known as [[post-thrash]] and sometimes "power groove") is an subgenre of [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] that originated in the early 1990s, popularized by bands such as [[Pantera]], [[White Zombie]], and [[Machine Head]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.seniorfitness.com/Groove_metal_link.html| title = Groove Metal | accessdate = 2010-06-16 }}</ref> The style is characterized as a slower, more "groove-like" and syncopated version of thrash metal, with growled, often [[hardcore punk]]-influenced vocals. There is some debate as to whether Pantera or [[Exhorder]] started the genre, as both bands began to play the style around the same period of time. The popularity of the genre began with Pantera's 1990 album [[Cowboys From Hell]], and has since been highly influential to many [[heavy metal music|metal]] bands ever since. Groove metal is mainly an [[United States of America|American]] phenomenon, but many bands outside the United States, such as [[The Haunted]] from [[Gothenburg]], [[Sweden]] also play groove metal.

Many bands combine the sounds of groove metal with other genres of metal. White Zombie, [[Prong]], and [[Fear Factory]] combined groove metal with [[industrial metal]]. The Haunted and [[Devildriver]] often combine groove metal with [[melodic death metal]]. Some thrash bands from the 1980s began to slow down and play the style in the 1990s, such as [[Sepultura]] on their 1993 [[Chaos A.D.]] album. Groove metal is also a leading factor in the current [[New Wave of American Heavy Metal]]. [[Lamb of God]], one of the main leaders of the movement, play groove metal with [[thrash metal|thrash]] and [[metalcore]] influences. Other bands in the current American metal scene that are influenced by groove metal include [[Byzantine (band)|Byzantine]], [[Chimaira]], [[Living Sacrifice]], and [[Throwdown (band)|Throwdown]].

Groove metal
Stylistic originsHeavy metal music, hard rock, dance music and hip-hop[1]

Groove metal is a subgenre of heavy metal.[1] It was often used to describe Pantera[2]. Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post described the music as a, "marriage of hard rock with dance music and hip-hop"; and stated about groove metal: "This gives the loud, crunchy guitars a black-flavored dance pulse and gives the wailing vocals the punchy rhythms of rap and funk. The masters of this new sub-genre is Korn."[1]
