Groove metal, sometimes also called neo-thrash or post-thrash, [1] is a subgenre of heavy metal music that began in the early 1990s. Heavily influenced by thrash metal , groove metal features raspy singing and screaming , down-tuned guitars , heavy guitar riffs , and syncopated rhythms.
- Pantera – Vulgar Display Of Power (1992) The groove metal blueprint may have been slammed down on Cowboys From Hell, but it was Pantera’s sixth studio album that defined the genre once and for all.
- Exhorder – The Law (1992) We could waste a few weeks arguing whether it was Pantera or Exhorder that truly first coined the groove metal sound (NB: it was Exhorder), but even the most devout Dimebag acolyte would have to admit that both of the New Orleans crew’s first two studio albums rip like absolute bastards (and last year’s Mourn The Southern Skies was even better!).
- Machine Head – Burn My Eyes (1994) Pantera aside, no one defined groove metal with more singular intensity than Machine Head. Widely hailed as a classic upon its release, Burn My Eyes had all the necessary swagger and precision, but it also boasted absurd levels of none-more-punk energy, a very obvious debt to hardcore hip-hop /and/ some of the biggest hooks metal had ever heard.
- Mary Beats Jane – Mary Beats Jane (1994) The opening band on Machine Head’s first European tour as headliners, Mary Beats Jane introduced the world to the raging fury of Peter Dolving, later of The Haunted.
Groove Metal Essentials. If thrash severed heavy metal’s roots in hard rock, then groove metal succeeded in stitching them back together. Exhorder, Sepultura, and Machine Head all played critical roles in the music’s early development, but Pantera deserve the biggest shout-out.
