I have added clarification. Also, the parts about Annihilator have no citation and I have explored it. It is more fit for their own band page. ;-)
This makes more sense for reader's sake.

List of groove metal bands

Groove metal is a subgenre of heavy metal. It is often used to describe Pantera[5] and Exhorder.[6] At its core, groove metal takes the intensity and sonic qualities of thrash metal and plays them at a more "groove" oriented tempo with many bands making only occasional forays into fast, standard thrash tempo.[7][8]

Characteristics and origins

Pantera's Cowboys from Hell album from 1990 was described as "groundbreaking" and "blueprint-defining" for the groove metal genre.[9] Ian Christe credits Sepultura's Chaos A.D. and Pantera for creating the death metal-derived music of groove metal influencing later groups in the genre during the 1990s.[2] Groove metal bands have incorporated thrash metal,[1] hardcore punk,[3] and industrial music.[4] Tommy Victor of Prong claims that the attitude of groove metal came from Bad Brains.[10]

Groups

Further information: List of groove metal bands

The style has been associated with bands such as Pantera,[11] Lamb of God,[12] Sepultura,[13][14] Soulfly,[15] Gojira,[11][16] Throwdown,[17] Machine Head,[18] Byzantine,[19] Trivium,[12][17] Anthrax,[12] Korn[20] and Spiritual Beggars.[21]

Groove metal is often accredited for (and mistaken for) the creation of the Nu-metal style.[22] Unlike groove metal, nu-metal introduced far more downtuned riffs (often as low as A and Drop C tuning on guitar) with a frequent absence of guitar solos, and also introduced rap/hip hop elements such as rapping and use of turntables.[23]

  2. ^ 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."
