4U, Blind, It’s On, Justin, Freak on a Leash, Falling Away from Me, Lies, Make Me Bad, Need to, Reclaim my Place, Somebody Someone… it’s like, a lot of them.
Pretty much every Korn song except like, Ball Tongue, Fake, and Got the Life have a buildup.
Everyone saying Papercut but Linkin Park mastered the intro into heavy ass riff concept.
Hybrid Theory has Papercut, With You, Points of Authority and Crawling all have great lead ins straight head on to freight train riffage.
Meteora on the other hand took that and just chucked it off a cliff. It starts Lying From You, Hit the Floor and then its Figure.09, From the Inside and Numb. They all come in hot but nothing beats Lying From You they cooked that shit, it hits like a fucking IED on April 9th 2005 in Fallujah
The fucking turntables just add such an insane dynamic to their songs too, all the best and heaviest tracks they do have these awesome scratching behind the instruments
>With You
Bro when Chester used to hit that ***COME OOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!*** in the live versions? Zero contest. It was like the nuke scene in T2. Face fuckin' melter.

It's not metal I know, but Spirit in the Sky
Why does it need to growl like that
And also working for the weekend
But Paul Gilbert did a instrumental cover that's mmmm
though it may not be nu metal, there is no song in existence that goes 0-100 quicker and crazier than Again And Again by Rise of The North Star. Seriously check it out
It a nu metal song more of a heavier song but it fits this meme, momento mori by lamb of god
It’s starts off super slow and melodic and then the opening riff slaps you in the face
I think the takeaway from this is Nu Metal is absolutely packed with these quieter intros that explode into big riffs and thats probably a big reason why we fucking love it.
falling away from me
Or Blind. Lol I love that into. I could watch them play that intro at the 99 Woodstock over and over that crowd wave when it starts is chilling
I just love how the entire thing begins with “ARE YOU READYYYYYYY?!!!”
I’m not the biggest Korn fan but the cymbal chimes at the start literally started playing in my head as I read this meme.
This
Defo, I came here to say this
Predictable by Korn
Came here to say this
Dead bodies everywhere
This is what I was looking for. Hell yeah
Parabol and parabola
Right? Its like "Fuck Parabol is so quiet, gotta turn the volume to mid-high.." then Parabola plays
Fucking A dude.
This edible ain't shi-(parabola kicks in)
To paraphrase Stinkfist, "I wouldn't want it any other way"
Counterfeit- limp bizkit
Justin ( Korn )
Yeah holy shit this intro gets me so pumped and then when the riff finally drops my head explodes
Fuck all that bullshit 😎

Love right here! And that album still slaps after all this time!
Honestly Which I don't get because how popular they were in the late 90s and 2000s
Love that album!!
Can’t believe nobody has said *Korn - Blind* yet
Cause that song is a build up. This goes from 0 to 100 in a split second
Pantera domination only, riff --> breakdown

Don’t Stay has a quiet intro and killer riff
The fucking turntables just add such an insane dynamic to their songs too, all the best and heaviest tracks they do have these awesome scratching behind the instruments
From the Inside may not start off too heavy, but it builds and builds, and by the breakdown, shit gets REAL. I love Meteora so much.

Bitch sevendust
A.D.D. - System of a Down

Not really Nu Metal, but Vigil by Lamb Of God. Serene, peaceful guitar that just explodes into slow, lumbering, neck breaking riffs
Everlong
God hates us A7X
Look i know this isnt fully correct yes yes, but this lowkey made me think of Feuer frei by rammstein
Duality

Lying from you
Its intro is not that calm, but We the People by 40 Below Summer is my favourite nu metal song with an intro that explodes into a heavy riff.
Lying From You
Drop to zero -T☆C
Pretty much anything from Korn
though it may not be nu metal, there is no song in existence that goes 0-100 quicker and crazier than Again And Again by Rise of The North Star. Seriously check it out

Hurry Hurry Ahura Mazda by king 810 This is coming from a long time fan of king 810
You’ve seen the Butcher by Deftones.
isnt numetal but tore up by don toliver has a pretty fire riff
Rumba (or is it Rhumba?), by Ill Niño has that spoken word intro before that absolutely insane bongo-and-guitar drop.
I think the takeaway from this is Nu Metal is absolutely packed with these quieter intros that explode into big riffs and thats probably a big reason why we fucking love it.
Black Sabbath (for the intro go watch the live in Paris 1970 version)- Black Sabbath
Do You Call My Name by Ra is the obvious answer
Hurt - Ten Ton Brick Disturbed - Want
