Been listening to a lot of early Discharge recently so put on Grave New World knowing only that it was poorly received and it’s glam metal! I don’t know if their later albums follow more in the crusty d-beat side of things or more metal but what other bands had only one or two albums where they moved to a different genre before going back to what they were known for. Will accept debut albums which were completely different to any follow ups
Suffice to say if you started from the proggy, punkish rock of Cave In’s Antenna and then worked backwards to Until Your Heart Stops, you’ll be in for a shock. The latter is a incredibly heavy metalcore masterpiece sprinkled with noise, with very few melodic vocals and a constant barrage of riffs and shouting.
KoRn entered the world of dubstep, created its magnum opus, realised there was nothing left to be achieved with the genre, then returned to redefining the world of metal.
