If it would make this a safe space for no wave fans,
it's more like being told there's delicious ice cream in the conference room, and then coming in and finding a bunch of grunge bro-core turds

I think of Swans "Like A Drug" as one of the earlier strikes of this sound, and the closest sonic link between Prong and Swans.

I've never thought of these riffs as modal so much as thrash breakdowns eased into mid-tempo or slower.

I think I'm still kinda unclear on the theme because I was about to post "Possum Kingdom."― billstevejim, Thursday, April 13, 2017 10:50 PM (yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. This is an interesting mish-mosh of a thread. I hate almost all of the music in it. I feel like Biohazard has a role to play in this, but none of the three songs I checked out on youtube fit the criteria and that's all the time I have to listen to Biohazard today.
I'd never heard that Fishbone before though and it's great.

Helmet definitely had a unique take on that type of staccato power chord riffing, but there definitely was other bands that were also doing a spin on Malcolm Young too. 'Walk' by Pantera is a 90s riff tune that came along same time that has that big ker-chunk that the nu-metal bands did too. I think a big part of why that stuff worked was that the simple rhythm could get a pit to go bonkers. That stuff is all over your moshpart/breakdowns in metal and hardcore.
― earlnash, Friday, 14 April 2017 12:25 (seven years ago) link
Oh yeah, of course Pantera.
― how's life, Friday, 14 April 2017 12:26 (seven years ago) link
Pantera - who made a turn toward that chugging style in 1992 - were definitely accused of ripping off Helmet on "Walk."

"Possum Kingdom" is a good one, I never thought of it that way, but yes

I really want to do a DJ set of post-Helmet groove alt metal and post-Onyx yell-rap
― SSN Lucci (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 14 April 2017 13:43 (seven years ago) link

(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):
