I remember Slipknot as being the radio-friendly stand-in for hardcore, with MTV-ish radio hits like Duality. But damn, I forgot how HARD they went on the first couple albums. This is a great example of why plenty of death metal fans in my age range cite them as a gateway drug.
Nice! I love genre crossovers like that. Winds of Tragedy did that for me recently for black metal. I’ll have to check out Vulture Industries and Blackbraid
I’ve never heard of Winds of Tragedy before, but I just checked out Our Time is Gone and it’s a pretty great song, I’ll have to check out the rest 🙂
