Trent Reznor set a benchmark in the industrial rock genre whilst simultaneously providing a form of therapy for millions of angst-filled listeners.

Album artwork of 'Gore' by Deftones

Without sacrificing the brutality fans have come to expect from Deftones, Gore strikes a delightful balance. Perhaps the band's most accessible record to date.

Toxicity System of a Down

It may not be the best in its class, but Toxicity still has a charm to it. The record is a worthwhile listen for turn of the century flavour metal.
