The experience was overwhelming for many. Binyam Mohammed now a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay said men held with him at the CIA’s “Dark Prison” in Afghanistan wound up screaming and smashing their heads against walls unable to endure more. “There was loud music (Eminem’s) ‘Slim Shady’ and Dr. I heard this nonstop over and over” he told his lawyer Clive Stafford Smith. “The CIA worked on people including me day and night for the months before I left. Plenty lost their minds.

Lastly Opeth continued to break out of the Black Metal box smash it up and use it for kindling as they released a serious of awesome albums none more impressive than Blackwater Park from 2001. As The Crow Flies overthe Origins and Evolution of Heavy Metal – Part ThreeSo while it is undoubted that metal continued to thrive in this time with the continuing growth and evolution of the Black and Death metal scenes the integration of disparate parts of the alternative spectrum into the metalcore scene as well as old warhorses like Iron Maiden managing to come back and actually produce some of their best work winning over new fans in the process the true question has to be was the nu-metal that filled the charts and the dance floors of the time really metal? If so then metal saw an unprecedented period of diversity and success and if not then it had it’s soul ripped out and trampled back into the murky underground where it belongs!I’ll actually sidestep the question by saying that the creative validity of any scene is moot and there are good and band bands in any style with worth being found in the application rather than the approach. I am primarily a fan of guitar based rock music including metal – but there are metal bands I like and bands I don’t – the only sensible path is to evaluate each on a one by one basis. For me insofar as you can define nu-metal as a cohesive genre it fulfils all the criteria to be considered as true metal. It has riffs loudness attitude was controversial in it’s beginnings and eventually became a standard. The detuned approach to guitar playing comes direct from Black Sabbath and where is it written that metal songs HAVE to have solos and the vocals can’t be rapped?Of course there were bands of little substance or passionate merit in nu-metal just as there are in any scene – the likes of Coal Chamber and Slaves on Dope come to mind but I personally regard the Deftones and System of a Down as two of my favourite all time bands. That said I guess it could be argued that they were the least ‘nu-metal’ of the big bands of the time.

“At the end of the day a vocal line is still a vocal line” Totman says. “You can do as many technical notes as you want on a guitar but a vocal line going over a chord progression isn’t that different in any kind of music. People can say ‘fuck pop music’ ‘fuck punk music’ or ‘fuck metal music’ but if you break it down to the chord progressions and the melody lines they’re all quite similar. “I play a few new games but video games now have an actual band playing or an orchestra. You don’t have video-game music like in the old days” says Totman who at 29 has played his fair share of Zelda. “I used to record the songs off my Commodore 64 onto a cassette tape and listen to them on the way to school.
