Groove metal is a subgenre of heavy metal. It was often used to describe Pantera[2] and Exhorder.[3]
Characteristics and origins
Pantera's Cowboys from Hell album from 1990 was described as "groundbreaking" and "blueprint-defining" for the groove metal genre.[4] Tommy Victor of Prong claims that the attitude of groove metal came from Bad Brains.[5]
Other groove metal bands have incorporated thrash metal,[6] hardcore punk[7] and industrial music.[8] Ian Christe credits Sepultura's Chaos A.D. and Pantera for creating the death metal-derived music of groove metal and influencing later groups in the genre during the 1990s.[1]
Groups
The style has been associated with bands such as DevilDriver, Chimaira, Spiritual Beggars,[9] Soulfly,[10] Gojira,[11][12] Throwdown,[13] Fear Factory,[13] Lamb of God,[12] Machine Head[14] and Byzantine.[15]
Notes
- ^ a b Christe (2003), pg. 264, "As close to death metal as any other gold-selling record before it, Chaos A.D. stripped down Sepultura's sound into a coarse metallic loop. The CD sold half a million copies, and alongside Pantera the band forged a streetwise, death-derived groove metal that inspired an upcoming generation of mavens in the 1990s."
