Primer 55

Tupelo, MS, US · 1997–present · active
Mississippi nu-metal outfit Primer 55 brought a southern-fried edge to the late-'90s heavy rock scene, combining down-tuned riffs and rap-influenced vocals on their TVT Records debut 'Introduction to Mayhem.' Though overshadowed by bigger names in the nu-metal explosion, their raw, groove-heavy sound earned them slots alongside Coal Chamber and Sevendust during the genre's commercial peak.

Profiler

Bristol, England, GB · 2017–present · active
Profiler are a Bristol heavy band who update nu metal with modern alternative-metal production and metalcore-adjacent punch. Built around vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans, the group favors thick groove riffs, clean melodic hooks, rap-influenced cadence, and breakdown pressure that connects early-2000s influence to current heavy music. Their EPs and debut album A Digital Nowhere show a band interested in internal conflict, identity, illusion, and overload, with songs such as "Miserable," "Alpha Nine," "Glitch Theory," "Animo," and "Operator" moving between bounce, melody, and aggression. Profiler fit metal-adjacent scope through nu metal, alternative metal, and heavy touring context, while their cleaner choruses keep the music accessible beyond core audiences. The band does not simply copy the first wave of nu metal; it tightens that language with sharper production and a more anxious modern mood. Profiler's strongest tracks work when the rhythm section locks into a head-nod groove and the vocals shift from vulnerability to bite, making the music feel both familiar and current.
