Groove metal

Groove metal, often associated with neo-thrash metal/post-thrash metal and power groove, is a term sometimes used to describe a derivative of thrash metal, which took influence from hardcore punk and traditional metal. Groove metal bands tend to play mid-tempo thrash riffs focusing on heaviness and groovy syncopation. The sub genre took its current form during the early 1990s, developed by bands including Exhorder, Pantera, Sepultura, White Zombie, Overkill, and Machine Head. Edit this Artist photo: Icon In Me

Godsmack isn't groove metal. In fact, they aren't even metal at all.

"I'm not sure what's worse - groove or nu metal" - At least we can all agree that they're both horrible compared to technical gothic metal.

Nu metal died, but groove metal won't fucking die. I'd say groove is far worse.
