Pantera - who made a turn toward that chugging style in 1992 - were definitely accused of ripping off Helmet on "Walk."

this little way of riffing opened up so much in the 90s and I have no idea how contemporary band like Wrong just wants to do Helmet cosplay

(but not 90s, soz)
That Galactic Cowboys "If I Were a Killer" tune also touches another mid 90s sonic thing with the AIC harmony in the chorus. Hadn't heard that one before.

Just a remindah that Unrest did it first, better, and with a sense of humor! (my theory is that Wharton Tiers played the Helmet guys the tape, when they came into Fun City to record their first alb):
