Capuchin Monk Sings in Heavy Metal Band Fratello Metal. This story will really throw a twist on the âwhat is Christian musicâ debate!

Nu metal. Nu metal (also known as nÃ¼-metal and aggro-metal) is a form of alternative metal that combines elements of heavy metal music with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, alternative rock, funk and grunge. Nu metal bands have drawn elements and influences from a variety of musical styles, including multiple genres of heavy metal. Nu metal rarely features guitar solos; the genre is heavily syncopated and based on guitar riffs. Many nu metal guitarists use seven-string guitars that are down-tuned to play a heavier sound.
