Music Banter - View Single Post - Was Korn's debut album the darkest, most ground breaking metal album of its time?

I totally forgot about Primus! And apparently Godflesh already had the tuned down guitars and some super slow songs back in 1989. I'm listening to both these bands right now. Korn's debut album seems like a combination of Streetcleaner and Sailing the Seas of Cheese, transitioning between the funk metal of Primus on songs like Ball Tongue and Need To, to slow haunting Godflesh type songs like Clown and Predictable. I'm loving Streetcleaner. IMO Jonathan Davis had much stronger vocals than Justin Broadrick though. He just had such a powerful presence on the debut album.
