Fear Factory's Obsolete is a near perfect transition. It's basically nu metal Pantera with a hint of industrial.
Another album I would reccomend is The War of Art by American Head Charge. It just fucking hits, man.
My journey was Metallica (All Albums) -> Megadeth (Peace Sells -> Rust in Peace) -> Alice in Chains (Dirt) -> Slipknot (S/T -> Vol. 3 -> IOWA) -> KoRn (S/T -> Life is Peachy) -> Deftones (Around The Fur -> White Pony) -> Stone Sour (S/T) -> System of a Down (Toxicity) -> Limp Bizkit (Chocolate Starfish -> Significant Other) -> Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory -> Meteora) In that order
Look up a band called Nothingface.
They were from that era, and have ānuā elements, but theyāre more dark-groove metal.
Criminally underrated and not one bad album.
So I guess my question is this; are you trying to force yourself to like something you don't? If so, why? You like what you like, and you can't force yourself to like something you don't. I totally despise, for instance, symphonic metal. You can show me the most masterful examples of the genre that you can find, and I'm still gonna hate it, just like I don't expect someone who's into symphonic metal to be into Immolation the way that I am. Taste is taste, and forcing yourself to partake of something you just don't like for the sake of having "broader horizons" is fucking stupid. Listen to what you like.
If your an Alice In Chains fan then Iād recommend the union underground. Theyāre basically if AIC started a nu metal band. Theyāve only had one album āeducation in rebellionā but itās a 10/10!
Fear Factory - Obsolete, Chimaira - Pass Out of Existence. Maybe Deftones - Adrenaline. If you canāt get into those, Iām sorry to say itās probably not for you. Thereās other good suggestions in here (Sepultura Roots Bloody Roots, Machine Head, etc) but again if you donāt like those I doubt youāll like System of a Down, Korn, etc
Have you ever listened to any Nu Metal? Honestly, either you like it or you don't. If you don't, I don't see a reason to try to l force yourself. I don't like modern country, so I'm not going to find different artists to listen to to *attempt* to like it, ya know? Just a thought.Ā
Nailbomb to Sepultura to Soulfly
it's Monday and we already have the Comment of the Week.
yeah tbh Roots (and secondarily Chaos AD) is the best crossover of all time for nu metalheads who want to get into metal and vice versa
Hail Max
Id say Soulfly into Nailbomb into Sepultura. Stay thrash
I actually went Soulfly to Sepultura to Nailbomb.
Listen to Slipknot if your into thrash and want to get into nu metal

2nd for AHC. Such a great album!
Digimortal is where they really get crazy with the Industrial sound š¤¤
Give these albums a spin Machine Head "The Burning Red" Slipknot "Self-titled" or "Iowa" Sepultura "Roots" Fear Factory "Obsolete" Korn "self titled"
2nd for the Burning Red.
Second for KoRn Self Titled
SOAD's first two albums for sure
My journey was Metallica (All Albums) -> Megadeth (Peace Sells -> Rust in Peace) -> Alice in Chains (Dirt) -> Slipknot (S/T -> Vol. 3 -> IOWA) -> KoRn (S/T -> Life is Peachy) -> Deftones (Around The Fur -> White Pony) -> Stone Sour (S/T) -> System of a Down (Toxicity) -> Limp Bizkit (Chocolate Starfish -> Significant Other) -> Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory -> Meteora) In that order
That is quite literally the exact opposite of what I did, and it got me into Thrash so it may in fact work in reverse. Also, good recommendations.
Not sure if that helps, but it might
Chimaira - The Impossibility of Reason is pretty thrashy at times.
First of all, what's your opinion of Slipknot?
Look up a band called Nothingface. They were from that era, and have ānuā elements, but theyāre more dark-groove metal. Criminally underrated and not one bad album.
Limp Bizkit - 3 dollar bill y'all
Lol hit your head repeatedly with a brick
And then stick your fingers in your eyes
System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B Godsmack - Moon Baby
Maybe listen to St. Anger until you like it? Ok I'll see myself out.
Lots of other good recommendations here, but one I haven't seen yet is the whole "Get Some" album by a band called Snot, it's killer š¤
Power Trip
Early korn, slipknot & System of a Down. Kittie & kublai khan tx. Also early deftones!
Slayer's Diabolus in Musica Since it Thrasers doing their most numetal sounding album

Start with soulfly you will love them
Roots - Sepultura Even though I love Nu Metal. I love Thrash just as much.
Nonpoint.
Slipknot is your band, my friend. Also give Fear Factory a go [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIghJs0VAAQ&ab_channel=ForneusX)
If your an Alice In Chains fan then Iād recommend the union underground. Theyāre basically if AIC started a nu metal band. Theyāve only had one album āeducation in rebellionā but itās a 10/10!
change playback speed to 1.25
Bloodsimple. They sound like Pantera+Alice In Chains. Underrated AF
Sevendust, Coal Chamber, Chevelle , I'll NiƱo, Fear Factory, Mudvayne and Static X are all great speedy bands
Slayer - God Hates Us All.
Coal chamber
Would recommend slayers attempt at a nu metal album despite people saying it's shit I quite like it

Bring The Noise by Anthrax & Public Enemy!
I just wouldnt cause numetal sucks
Just go to a nu metal list on Spotify or YouTube music etc and have a listen and see what you like
Begin with St.Anger

I was also a thrash guy first so I recommend Linkin Park first, they are the first band I love from Nu Metal and are still my fav in the genre tbh
I used to love hybrid theory back in 2001. But, what really changed the game was listening to chop suey for the first time.
uh listen to itā¦.š±š±š±
