Nü-metal is a type of music mostly formed by the group KoЯn. The music is heavy, fast paste music with some sort of twist to the music. The newest form is a combination of metal and dubstep in the album Path of totality, the album has been reviewed at 5 out of 5 stars on multiple sites. (artistdirect.com) Dubstep is mostly focused on beats, a form of techno and bass. KoЯn takes this and makes into a very popular music, with a mixture of the drum, bass and guitar with help from Skrillex, Datsik, Feed Me, Excision, and 12th Planet . KoЯn formed in the 1990s and got big quick, leading into the post- KoЯn era of metal. With Jonathan Davis unique voice that took the world by storm. His voice landed his voice a major part in the movie “Queen of the Damned”. He wrote most of the songs featured on the movie along with the lead singer Disturbed. . KoЯn has had a rough history though. They’ve gotten in trouble with drugs and even trashing a hotel room in a party. This causing one the guitarist Munky to leave to band to go to rehab and raise his kid, KoЯn had to make some major adjustments. They hired a new guitarist and been low key with law but still trying to bring out the newest type metal music possible. They give you a explosive mix of rock and dubstep in their concert that reviews are loving. . KoЯn has had a strong following and been hear with great bands and artist such as Limp bizkit, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop dog, Disturbed, and NWA. We may never know what they come out next or their new sound might be, but KoЯn will always be one of the most popular and best metal bands to ever play.
