Obviously Tool could quite comfortably sit in this list, but, being as proggy and difficult to categorise as they are, we have instead pointed toward Maynard James Keenan’s ‘other’ band A Perfect Circle. Mer De Nomsis more instant, more accessible, and more fragile than anything Tool have ever put their name to, but what it shares is the classy ton...
Alternative to what you ask? Well, in Faith No More’s case, it’s an alternative to literally everything. It’s hard to think of another album that channels so many different styles of music, and nails them every time. A lot has been written about Mike Patton – certainly his ability to scream bloody murder on The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies straight...
As frontman of Black Flag, Henry Rollins has had more influence than most on alternative rock, primarily down to the dark Sabbath-y punk of the My War album. When he decided to go solo it was a sound he explored further with Rollins Band, and Weight is the best example of their bluesy, powerful alt-metal. Most famous for the single Liar, which was ...
Their influence on nu-metal is massive yet never really talked about, which could be down to the fact that Helmet didn’t just create in massive concrete block riffs, they also dealt in arty, avant-garde passages of noise. We aren’t committing to saying that Betty is the best Helmet album (it’s a straight knife-fight with equally classic records Mea...
After Josh Homme left the massively influential Kyuss , it was hard to believe he’d go on to front a band that could eclipse his previous work. He did, though, and QOTSA are now one of the best rock bands on the planet. They might be a shadow of their former selves, but the high regard people still hold them in is mostly due to the brilliance of al...
If you were in the know, then Melvins signing to Atlantic Records was the most hilarious example of the mainstream losing its mind and signing anything even vaguely alternative in the post-Nirvana boom of the mid-90s. Buzz Osbourne’s crew of weirdos always prided themselves on their incomprehensible melding of Captain Beefheart and Celtic Frost, an...
Primus have always been one of rock and metal’s most enjoyable oddities, and the idea that bass genius Les Claypool could have ended up in Metallica is hysterical, but it’s not just slappy noises and songs about beavers in the world of Primus – they can write some killer tunes too. After their initial dalliances with the mainstream they released th...
Around the time of Troublegum’s release, Therapy? were known as ‘the Irish Nirvana’, but this album proved there was far more to Andy Cairn’s power trio than just pure Seattle worship. Troublegumhas the killer pop hooks and punky production of alt-rock, but is laced with an almost gothic streak of pitch black humour and some riffs that wouldn’t see...
One band that hopped back and forth between the many alternative sub-genres of the time, yet refused to be tied to any of them, The Smashing Pumpkins are deservedly lauded by fans and critics alike. But what are they? Fuzzed-up metal riffs, punk pace, experimental indie song structures, electronica, grunge lyrical nihilism… they are one of the most...
Although they started off as a metallic hardcore band and progressed on to being some kind of Rush meets Converge space rock punks (honest), the closest Boston’s Cave In ever came to cracking the mainstream was on their debut, and only, major label release. It saw them head out on tour as support to Foo Fighters, Muse, and on the Lollapalooza tour ...
