Fear And The Nervous System
Fear and the Nervous System was an alternative metal/industrial rock band formed by Korn guitarist James Shaffer, James "Munky" Shaffer. The band released Fear and the Nervous System (album), one self-titled album in 2012 and disbanded in 2014. History In early 2008, Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer announced plans to release a new project entitled Fear and the Nervous System (probably a reference to Michael Powell's 1960 film "Peeping Tom"). The record was said to be released in late 2008, through his own label, Emotional Syphon Recordings. The songs are being recorded at Music Grinder Studios in Hollywood, California. In July 2008, Wes Borland described the recording sessions: Shaffer also described the recording sessions as really unorthodox and more like a jam session than a regular recording session. The band also used different guitar tuning, tunings to make the music stand apart from Shaffer's previous work with Korn. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alternative Metal
Alternative metal (also known as alt-metal) is a genre of heavy metal music that combines heavy metal with influences from alternative rock and other genres not normally associated with metal. Alternative metal bands are often characterized by heavily Downtuned guitar, downtuned, mid-paced guitar riffs, a mixture of accessible melodic vocals and Screaming (music), harsh vocals and sometimes sounds that are unconventional within other heavy metal styles. The term has been in use since the 1980s, although it came into prominence in the 1990s. Other genres considered part of the alternative metal movement included rap metal and funk metal, both of which influenced another prominent subgenre, nu metal. Nu metal expands the alternative metal sound, combining its vocal stylings and downtuned riffs with elements of other genres, such as hip hop music, hip hop, funk, thrash metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Alternative metal began in the 1980s with bands like Faith No More, Li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
