I wonder (or at least could only hope) if the Scandanavian bands that have gone this drop-D "chugga chugga" route over the last few years would drop this shite if they knew that nu-metal has largely fallen out of favor (at least here in the states)
Um, yeah. Name one nu-metal band that sounds like Children Of Bodom, please.
New track's not bad.
Drop D Tuning automatically equals "Nu-Metal", duh. It's the same reason why people say stupid shit like Exodus' Shovel-Headed Kill Machine isn't true Thrash Metal.
The reason Shovel Headed Kill Machine isn't thrash metal is not because its in drop d, but because its largely groove without... thrash riffs.
Sorry, but I've seen them play the material live and it's chock full of Thrash riffs. Sounded the same as the Bonded by Blood songs they played, not as good of course, but that's the only difference. Modern Exodus is not groovy, not at all. You can say it sucks, but calling it groovy is a fallacy.
If when they play the album live, they replace the groove riffs with thrash riffs, then you're correct (k, the album is part thrash, but there's a shitload of groove on there too- more than the thrash, from what I remember). And though I have only listened to the album three times, and even granting that the album is thrash, there is no possible way it sounds anything like Bonded by Blood.
