I mean the music sounds literally industrial. The sheer scale of the sound, the metallic percussion and some of the ambience used. Skin ticket instantly springs to mind but also prosthetic amongst others. Its not a sound Ive associated with any other group.
And I dont think music should be defined by the time it came out. It should be defined by the content and each of these bands are too different. Rage are generally slower blues influenced and more obviously hip hoppy. You can clearly here classic rock influences in wake up (from Led Zeppelin's Kashmir) and the solo in settle for nothing...youd never hear anything like that in Slipknot. SOAD have obvious Eastern roots showing throough in their music.
