Daily Heavy: Mudvayne - Not Falling

Mudvayne have consistently put out some of the best nu metal and alternative metal I've heard.
This song really showcases more progressive elements to Mudvayne's usual compositions.

For instance the first verse has a nice offbeat feel to the guitar and vocals as well as a supremely groovy bass line.

I love how mid-scooped guitarist Greg Tribbett's tone is, as well as how present Ryan Martinie's bass is.

Rock and metal bassists take note - Martinie is one of the best in the business - just listen to all the slapping and popping me manages to fit into the chorus behind that pounding guitar riff.

And then of course the vocals - Chad Grey has always managed to combine those insane screams with semi-dirty vocals so well and the two vocal styles are intertwined a lot in this song.

Mudvayne are really an essential band to listen to if you like Korn, Deftones or Slipknot.

There's something so visceral about this band's music - try listening to this song's chorus without wanting to headbang!
