Huh. Nice. I was always under the impression that Realm of Chaos, War Master, and The IVth Crusade got the lion's share of the love.

Among old***s probably but I think Those Once Loyal got big cause it came about during both the alt metal craze and a death metal revival period. Also it being their last album probably has something to do with it.

I guess I also both remember when it was the new album and don't particularly keep up on the metal zeitgeist.

idk Korn and Deftones were still scoring big and Nickelback was in full swing, thus the "alt metal (and nu metal) craze". Old-school revivalism saw a resurgence in opposition to nu metal. Death Angel for instance came back after a two and a half decade long hiatus around the same time as well.

Old school death metal was kinda behind that revival though. Thrash revival was it's own thing and ruled that scene at the time and death metal revivalism was more or less a logical afterthought that didn't have nearly the same level of consciousness. I mean thrash revival was a downright bandwagon of stupidity.

And at that point nu metal was dead. Linkin Park had peaked, Deftones had peaked, Korn had peaked a long time ago. Nu metal was a recent corpse but definitely a corpse. Maybe not even a recent corpse as the early 00's kind of kept the whole thing limping along with Linkin Park's surge in popularity.

Yeah I used "old-school revivalism" as a general term. It was definitely death metal backing it the most.

I mean See You On the Other Side sold 220k in the first week alone and Saturday Night Wrist charted quite a bit both in North America and Europe. Not their heyday sure but both bands were still doing relatively well (until Deftones went on hiatus in '07). The best Linkin Park were doing was riding the last waves of Transformers money so I'll give you that much.

Nu metal wasn't dead but it was weak. This allowed these other metal revivals to pick up more steam, albeit not in the mainstream unfortunately.

Forgot I had their second newest album. Seems pretty solid as far as I've listened to it.

Yeah that was extremely poor word choice on my part. When I said "was kinda behind" I meant "the old school metal revival happened because of thrash and then there was a death metal revival that came behind that revival because it just made sense for it to happen even though it wasn't the focus".

Nah by 2005 when Those Once Loyal came out nu metal was totally dead. Stick a fork in it and the fork can't get through cause the corpse is so stiff. Nobody cared, it wasn't on the radio, nobody buying underground metal ever cared, it was simply dead. If Linkin Park managed to push units after the death then it's because they stopped sounding like Hybrid Theory.
