It’s time to head back to 2005, a year when nu metal was on its last legs but still managed to deliver some unforgettable albums. In this video, we’re ranking every major nu metal release of 2005 — from legendary bands like System of a Down, Mudvayne, and KoЯn, to deep cuts from the likes of D’espairsRay, Bloodsimple, and more. We’ll cover the best, the worst, and the weirdest moments from a transitional year for heavy music. #numetal #korn #systemofadown #limpbizkit @kornchannel @DisturbedMusic @systemofadown @limpbizkit
