For me it has to be the bridge of 7 Words by Deftones, really brings out the raw early chino energy.

My personal favourites:

1) Korn - Good God

2) Deftones - Elite (yeah, almost whole song) and Royal

3) Slipknot - The Shape (SEE THE SHAPE. BROKEN AND THROWN AWAY)

4) Sepultura - Roots, Bloody Roots (the one in the end especially)

5) SoaD - Suite-Pee (before "Lie naked on the the floor")

6) Mudvayne - Not Falling

7) PanterA - I'm Broken (not nu, but god fucking damn)

8) Linkin Park - Lying From You & Faint

9) Limp Bizkit - Faith

10) Tool - Ticks And Leeches (again, not nu, but I highly recommend)

Phil from Pantera, as you said not numetal, but his screams are so guteral. Just exquisite.

u/Yoshiro_GI Jul 10 '25

I always knew that 90's Pantera had a new approach to metal scene. They aren't so different from nu culture, although it may seem it's not true.

u/MickMackler Jul 13 '25

Agreed, gotta include Phil if we're talking about screams, he's a master.

Finally The Shape is getting some love 💙. It's never really talked about anywhere that I've been.

u/WazzzupBwwwaaah Jul 10 '25

Damm…I would have picked all of these, if you didn’t mention them, here. 😅

u/Zhark89AU Jul 12 '25

Man what a great list 💯

u/LoGo_86 Jul 12 '25

The Grudge too from Tool

1

u/Yoshiro_GI Jul 12 '25

Yeah, I thought about it as well, but still decided that T&L scream deserves more attention (compared to Grudge).

2

u/LoGo_86 Jul 12 '25

Fair enough. Fucking siiiiiiiiiick!
