The 100 songs that changed metal (by Metal Hammer)

74. Within Temptation – Ice Queen (Mother Earth, 2000)

In the 90s, symphonic metal was more a glittering garnish than a scene in itself, something bands from Therion to Celtic Frost would sprinkle on their music to make it sparkle. And while the genre would start coming together into something more tangible towards the end of the decade, it wasn’t until a few years later that a song would emerge to put symphonic metal on the map.

That song was Within Temptation’s Ice Queen. A complete volte-face from the gothic doom of the Dutch metallers’ 1997 debut, Enter, it appeared on the follow-up, Mother Earth, in a flurry of lavish arrangements and fairytale histrionics. Buoyed by vocalist Sharon den Adel’s crystalline voice, it pushed metal towards a new frontier, quickly whipping up a buzz in mainland Europe. Ice Queen can take credit for being symphonic metal’s first major hit, pushing women to the forefront and influencing a brand new generation of bands.

81. Evanescence – Bring Me To Life (Fallen, 2003)

Evanescence’s debut single, Bring Me To Life, turned vocalist Amy Lee into a megastar. Arriving in 2003, when mainstream music was dominated by hyper-masculine men and overly sexualised pop stars, with her billowing long skirts, corset tops, arm socks and steely self-confidence, Amy redefined what a female artist could be, becoming a role model for millions of misfits and dreamers everywhere.

Despite its crunchy guitars and a rapped verse, courtesy of 12 Stones’ Paul McCoy – which Amy has since said she was forced to add by their label – Bring Me To Life’s cobwebby, goth fragility also brought something fresh to nu metal’s dick-swinging party, extending the mainstream’s flirtation with the genre for a little longer – as of 2019, it’s sold more than 3 million copies and has passed more than a billion streams on YouTube and Spotify.

82. Arch Enemy – We Will Rise (Anthems Of Rebellion, 2003)

We Will Rise was a huge song, not only for Arch Enemy but for the new generation of 21st-century melodic death metal they spearheaded. Guitarist Michael Amott had already laid down the melodeath blueprints with Carcass, while Arch Enemy themselves had already made three albums with singer Johan Liiva, but neither they nor anyone else had made an anthem quite like this.

As well as propelling the genre as a whole to greater heights and popularity, it provided a bigger platform for Angela Gossow – a hugely influential figure and one of the first prominent female vocalists to not only try but absolutely nail an extreme metal style. “Her emergence as a metal vocalist was, without hyperbole, revolutionary,” Svalbard’s Serena Cherry told us recently, and we’re not arguing.

84. Nightwish – Nemo (Once, 2004)

Nightwish didn’t invent symphonic metal, but alongside peers Within Temptation and Epica, they popularised it and packaged it to the masses. By 2004, the Finns had already established themselves as a major player in Europe, but with the sumptuous Nemo, they broke through on an unprecedented level.

No longer a niche concern in the geeky corners of the metal world, symphonic metal, in all its lavish, overwrought glory revelled under a global spotlight. Nemo’s fantastical magic, sparkling piano refrain and stirring melody has endured – it’s still the band’s best-known song – but its lasting image comes via its gothic music video, and then-singer Tarja Turunen singing in the snow in a blood-red coat. Nemo showed metal at its most fragile and beautiful.

95. Babymetal – Gimme Chocolate!! (Babymetal, 2014)

If elitists were tearing their hair out at the likes of Ghost, Bring Me The Horizon and Limp Bizkit being considered ‘metal’, then they might as well have just reached for the clippers for this one. The sight of three young Japanese girls rocking choreographed moves and singing sugary-sweet, J-pop-infused choruses about chocolate over heavy metal riffs was as shocking as it was delightful.

Babymetal hadn’t just broken the mould for metal, either; they’d given the West a fuller glimpse into the uniquely Japanese phenomenon of idol culture, and given the cutesy world of Kawaii a bigger global platform than ever. Overseen by band mastermind and producer extraordinaire, Key ‘Kobametal’ Kobayashi, Babymetal were unlike anything our world had seen before: equal parts hyper-polished girl band and full-on heavy metal experience, with their mysterious Kami Band backing musicians as formidable as any ‘proper’ metal band you could name.

Cynics moaned, but with the likes of Rob Halford, Metallica and Corey Taylor throwing in their support, the trio quickly transcended their ‘gimmick’ tag to become a legitimate force in the modern metal landscape.

99. Spiritbox – Holy Roller (Eternal Blue, 2022)

Spiritbox were already firmly established as Ones To Watch by the time Holy Roller, the first single from Eternal Blue, exploded like a hand grenade in the summer of 2020. Once those first, colossal riffs rang out, however, it was clear that the Canadian troupe hadn’t just levelled up considerably – they had successfully repositioned themselves as one of the most exciting and vital bands of their generation.

Backed by a memorable video inspired by Ari Aster’s disturbing Midsommar movie, Holy Roller was the perfect crystallisation of the last decade-plus of evolution in metal, packing djent, metalcore, nu metal and more into a massively crushing (but seriously catchy!) three minutes. “This song was never intended to be a single,” explained vocalist Courtney LaPlante later. “Our mission statement was, ‘Let’s make the most ridiculous song that we can.’”

[spoilthevines]

my brain has chosen to combine two of my biggest hyperfixations of recent years and i am now sitting on a beautiful beautiful concept for an rdr2 au set in the 90s hardcore scene in california*

no but imagine dutch as a manager of a diy hardcore band in the age of every major label suddenly looking to sign the next nirvana and promising the world to bands only then to fuck them over beyond belief and try to make them marketable according to what the labels think is marketable (make micah the pushy label a&r)

mix that with the rise of nu metal and the toxic cis het masculinity of it all and how certain bands literally split up because they couldn't handle their queerer weirder audiences get fucked up at festivals by the nu metal bros

make arthur the frontman (javier is lead guitar, john is bass, bill is fhe drummer) who is very uncomfortable with all this on multiple levels

and i haven't settled on the plot wheels yet but charles is either hired into this as a tech (even though he's a really fucking good musician), OR arthur used to do rhythm guitar as well but now they want him to focus more on performance and "arthur will you stop hiding behind that guitar of yours already" and charles is a session musician they hired for a tour to play arthur's rhythm guitar parts

and we are really fucking golden

don't even get me started about how easy would it be to borrow from larry livermore + green day biography to explain why arthur and john have been around for so long

or on the opportunities for all the side characters (o'driscolls and colm easily morph into a version of epitaph records and brett gurewitz and rancid which makes it easy to draw another link between brody dalle and sadie)

* not in the historic precision sense but in a vague rockstar sense because i have no intention of actually being accurate or figuring out how these characters would fit into the existing dynamic of the scene

Movie Review | Half Past Dead (Paul, 2002)

In most prison movies, prison is a pretty bad place to be. Not in this movie, which is set in a state of the art prison called “New Alcatraz”. Here, the prisoners get to play video games in their cells. And even when they’re on death row, they get to chill out with a screensaver of their choice and get to pick the method of execution. Yes, I know, carceral state and death penalty and all that, but putting aside greater moral and policy questions, staying at this prison doesn’t seem so bad. And even the warden played by Tony Plana, who in most prison movies is a sadist on a power trip, seems like a pretty chill guy here. It probably explains why the prisoners don’t revolt or try too hard to escape when some bad guys break into the prison, but instead work together to take them out. Whatever the warden is doing is clearly working.

This movie pairs Steven Seagal and Ja Rule, who make a great team because they’re both bad and have no chemistry. (It’s like jazz. It’s the rapport you don’t see.) Interestingly, Seagal tells Ja Rule “You’re bad” at one point, by which he means “good”. Ja Rule earlier teaches Seagal how to say “aight”, Seagal attempts a Russian accent for maybe a single line, Tony Plana speaks some Spanish and calls Seagal a “homeboy”, you add in a whole lot of Dutch angles in the cinematography, and this is a real cultural melting pot of a movie. The boys also bond when Seagal does donuts with his car, which causes Ja Rule to be launched out when the door opens. Anyway, I don’t think Ja Rule is entirely devoid of screen presence, but he does deliver most of his lines by tilting his head for some reason. He also calls somebody a “biatch”, which is not a term I’ve heard in spoken out loud in almost two decades.

They’re joined by Morris Chestnut as the villain, who is actually pretty good here, especially when he compliments a female judge on her accomplishments and appearance and then makes her cry for not having a husband. He’s got Nia Peeples as his main henchwoman, whose midriff is bared to sex up an otherwise PG-13 movie and spends many of her scenes having kisses blown at her by Ja Rule, which is better than having kisses blown at her by Seagal. There’s also Claudia Christian, who spends most of the movie kept out of the action and instead talking on the radio. She is therefore the female character afforded the most dignity in all of this.

Anyway, this is pretty obviously a piece of shit, but I had a good enough time with it. This falls firmly in the nu metal style of filmmaking popular in the early 2000s, which is absolutely not a good era of action cinema. (To be clear, the soundtrack contains hip hop and techno in addition to actual nu metal.) Lame gimmicks (swinging on chains, dual wielding, a state of the art targeting system introduced at the last minute out of nowhere, unnecessary skydiving scenes, characters playing dead multiple times), fast cutting, jagged camera setups mashed together to create the illusion of excitement, but as with the climax (the first of two actually), these flourishes usually just render the proceedings a spatially incoherent mess. And there’s the very obvious use of stunt doubles, which is probably excusable in the case of Ja Rule, who is not an experienced action star, but is distracting in the case of Seagal, whose double is noticeably leaner than the real thing. (Seagal is also shot in dramatic closeups, likely to hide his girth and also create the illusion of charisma.) But time has been kind to anything shot on film, and there is some pretty nice lighting and one pretty fun action scene where the bad guys parachute into the prison and blow away a bunch of guards in the rain. And I dunno, all the stupid shit that happens got some chuckles out of me. It’s very obvious why Seagal stopped getting to star in theatrical releases after this, but I had fun.

hello! ^^

could I request a masc fashion kit for a draft horse(im still questioning the specific breed but for reference id look at clydesdales and dutch drafts ^^) with mall goth/nu metal style clothes? if possible id love leather accessories like bracelets.

I'd prefer shops that are in the EU but I'm absolutely fine with shops outside EU as long as they ship to Finland.

im not sure if i need to add anything else. hope what i wrote made sense and is not too challenging to for you!!

have a great day! ^^

hello! thank you for your patience! i have queued your request, and was sure to check that each item was either from the EU or would ship to finland! it definitely came out more mall goth than nu metal, but i tried to pull from both!

Patrick Smeets (dreadlock pussy) personal diary entry 9th

[metalsongoftheday]

Thursday, April 25: Frozen Sun, “Face Down”

Mainland Europe had made a point of rejecting nu metal during its commercial peak, at least in terms of delivering homegrown acts: sure, Korn and Limp Bizkit were popular all over the world, including in Europe, but England was pretty much the only non-US country to even attempt to replicate their sound.  That made The Netherlands’ Frozen Sun a true anomaly, as “Face Down” sounded much more like Sevendust than Helloween.  Boris Bourna wasn’t Lajon Witherspoon, but his vocals certainly recalled Witherspoon’s tenor even if they didn’t have the same soulfulness. The music itself had touches of Korn and Sevendust, though the sound wasn’t quite as rhythmic.  “Face Down” was a bit of an oddity, even for its time, as it was clearly indebted to nu metal even though it couldn’t quite credibly call itself that.  Perhaps Frozen Sun sensed this as well, since they broke up in 2000 after two albums and not much attention.  Still, the band was worth noting as outliers in a continent that has mostly stayed committed to two or three particular strains of metal (power, black, melodic death) for the past 35 years.

I’m blaming Sam and Max for my newfound love of fucked up little critters

Fursonas! 3 of them! They’re all based off the ways I wear my hair and my vastly alternating vibes and these were also my favorite animals growing up and there’s info about them below the cut

Static is a Dutch rabbit creature who I lovingly refer to as the install wizard and it’s based off old web aesthetics and wizardcore

Video is a beagle and is a testament to my love of the 80s and arcades. He yo-yos (kinda like my emotional state <3)

And finally Radio or Ray. The beach bum within is your average call duck and makes a great dad deep down with activities such as fishing and boating, gazing longingly at vintage cars and cameras, and listening to 80s metal and 90s punk/nu-metal
