Too busy listening to reggae.
Obscure reggae from Africa, mind you.

Sepultura - Roots was only groove album. Everything before was thrash, everything after was bad.
5FDP - Keep that nu-metalcore garbage out of this thread.
Devildriver - Have nothing to do with this thread.

How did I miss this thread???

GROOVE METALZ FOR LIFE.

And how is it red-neckish at all?

Santana

^wanna name a few bands?

OPP

The Haunted (one could argue that they're more thrash, but it's in between). Listen to rEVOLVEr and Versus. The Dead Eye is more experimental.

Rikets also. They're like industrial groove. Really badass stuff.

Santana

Thanks

Mastodude

Yeah I don't consider Chaos to be thrash but I could see how it could be because there's some pretty fast stuff.

Pantera

Episode

A lot of the bands put in the Groove Metal category can also be put into different genres.

LoG-Metalcore
DevilDriver-Melodeath
MH-Thrash Metal

OPP

DevilDriver is the first band that comes to mind for me when I hear "Groove metal"

Santana

Groove metal just seems like "metal" to me
like bands like LOG or gojira or devildriver

OPP

It's pretty distinguishable imo. It's like a slowed down version of thrash the way I see(hear) it.

Pantera
