On July 20, 2017, the universe lost one of it’s brightest stars. Chester Bennington didn’t have an easy childhood, but he did have talent. He was passionate about music, he was intelligent, and he made the people around him smile.

From an early age he was destined to become a star. His dream started in high school and he would bring hope to millions of lost souls around the world after he joined the hugely successful Nu-Metal band, Linkin Park, and this is their story.

Although Linkin Park played a big part in the success of Nu-Metal, there are 2 bands that are generally considered to be the founders of the iconic genre, Korn, and Limp Bizkit.

These artists formed in 1993 and 1994 respectively. With Korn being from Bakersfield, California and Limp Bizkit residing in Jacksonville, Florida.

They were essentially responsible for not only a new genre of music but an entirely new sub-culture that would dominate the early millennium. A subculture that would ultimately be Linkin Park's gateway to success.

Although other bands such as Slipknot and Deftones were also considered to be founders of Nu-Metal, it all started with the self-titled debut studio album released by Korn, on October 11, 1994.

Nu-Metal had basically taken aspects of every dominant genre from the last 50 years which included Rock and Metal, Rap, Hip-Hop, 80s electronica and even DJ style sampling, and combined them all together.

Nu-Metal also brought with it a new variation of anger. Whilst previous genres had come across as aggressive and angry, Nu-metal expressed a more nihilistic approach to anger. Something Linkin Park fans very much recognised in Chester Bennington's lyrics.
