Wait, Now\u00a0Korn<\/em>\u00a0Invented Dubstep?! Here Are Five Other Nu-Metal Groups Who Could Also Make Dubstep Comebacks<\/h1>\n

It’s been a controversial week on the dubstep front. First, there’s a\u00a0libertarian<\/a>\u00a0dubstep guy, and then we had to deal with a spin-off called\u00a0“fratstep.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Now Korn is saying they invented dub step?!<\/p>\n

Kind of. “We were dubstep before there was dubstep,” the nu-metal act’s frontman told\u00a0Billboard<\/em><\/a>\u00a0recently. “Tempos at 140 with half-time drums, huge bassed-out riffs. We used to bring out 120 subwoofers and line them across the whole front of the stage, 60 subs per side. We were all about the bass.”<\/p>\n

Korn perform tonight at Hollywood Palladium, and have a new album out today,\u00a0The Path of Totality,<\/em>\u00a0which features folks like Grammy nominee and dubstep hero\u00a0Skrillex<\/a>. (Or, is he fratstep? Now we’re just getting confused.)<\/p>\n

As to Davis’ claim that Korn’s the forefather of dubstep, we suppose that depends on if you believe the essence of dubstep is bass and rapid-fire, thrashing repetition. By that logic, there’s a case to be made for other nu-metal acts from the late ’90s too.<\/p>\n
