List of groove metal bands

Groove metal is a subgenre of heavy metal.[1] It was often used to describe Pantera[3] and Exhorder.[4]

Characteristics and origins

Pantera's Cowboys from Hell album from 1990 was described as "groundbreaking" and "blueprint-defining" for the groove metal genre.[5] Tommy Victor of Prong claims that the attitude of groove metal came from Bad Brains.[6]

Groups

The style has been associated with bands such as Spiritual Beggars,[7] Soulfly,[8] Gojira,[9][10] Throwdown,[11] Trivium,[11] Lamb Of God,[10] Machine Head,[12] and Byzantine.[13] Some bands have avoided being labelled as a groove metal band. Veteran thrash metal band Annihilator left Roadrunner Records in 1993 specifically to avoid being caught up in the groove-metal trend being promoted by the label. Subsequently, the Canadian band have not played in North America ever since their departure from the label.[14]
