This week on We Were Loud Once, Jeff and Dan are descending into the shadows, and exploring the "Goth Side" of the Nu-Metal era. While the internet loves to debate if Type O Negative belongs in the Nu-Metal pantheon (and trust us, they try really hard not to go down that rabbit hole), they’re looking at the bigger picture. How did a genre built on "The Jump" and "Caveman Riffs" suddenly get so moody and atmospheric? Soundtracks in the late 90s and early 2000s gave artists a "hall pass" to experiment outside their main album sound. Jonathan Davis and Richard Gibbs created the ultimate blueprint for Goth-adjacent Nu-Metal with the 'Queen of the Damned' soundtrack which set the stage for one of the best selling records of the decade.
