Out of the explosion of nu-metal were bands like Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn and more.“I was really into metal back then, and it was influencing the stuff I was writing as well.

It was amazing to see what new bands were coming out then. And each one had a different version of metal, if you want to call it metal.

Different versions, instead of just going on and screaming into the microphone and everything sounding the same. Really good, different bands coming out.
