#180 Alt - Nu Metal Vol. I

“It wouldn’t pain me more to bury you rich than to bury you poor…”

One of the quintessential principles of the Bunkerpoon creed is to arrive at a philosophically logical conclusion regarding any and all things metal, regardless of genre or subgenre.

To put it plainly: “there’s Thrash, and then there’s Metal.”

Similarly, there’s ALT METAL, and then there’s NU METAL (“ALT…and NU.”)

You’re gonna wanna break out your extended-release relaxers and get ready for a “triple uncorking” before leaving the peace and tranquility of your comfort zone and becoming completely boxless & genreless. Be sure you “don’t spill your White Claw” while writing us a nastygram and JOIN US for a stroll through somewhat uncharted territory: it’s ALT + NU METAL, Vol. 1.
