In case you missed the memo, nu metal has undergone a major resurgence in recent years. Be it Limp Bizkit going viral for Fred Durst’s wigs, Adidas dropping a Korn collab or Linkin Park’s mega comeback, you can barely swipe up on ‘metal-Tok’ without stumbling across some reference to the mainstream-crushing glory days of the early 2000s.
It’s not just the old dogs flexing new tricks, either. The scene is now flooded with young artists paying homage to their baggy-jeaned icons: Wargasm roping in Durst for a guest spot; Poppy dropping David Draiman monkey noises; Vended carrying the spirit of Slipknot. Few rising bands, however, have wholeheartedly embraced the scene’s sound, feel and angst-laden worldview quite as much as Atlanta’s Tetrarch.
