American comic Kyle Gordon has released a parody of early 2000s nu metal so faithful that many fans of the genre have hailed it a real banger.
Crawl To Me (Stool Sample) comes from his new album Kyle Gordon is Wonderful mocks the likes of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park with wildly aggressive lyrics such as: ‘Suck the dick, drink the piss’ and ‘Wеll, I'm about to kill you to death / How'd you like a butterfly knifе to the neck? / And if I make you dead, you won't live.’
One Redditor said: ‘As someone who grew up with nu metal this feels very accurate. the lyrics are extremely blunt and on the nose but... that's what nu metal is like sometimes…’
And on YouTube comments included: ‘This isn’t even a parody, this is just what Nu Metal sounded like. Half my friends in 1999 would have loved this shit’, ‘this is genuinely enjoyable as a nu metal song’ and ‘This sounds like something you'd hear in a 2008 WWE highlights video with 144p footage of John Cena’.
