Groove metal, half-thrash, or post-thrash is a subgenre of thrash metal which took its current form during the early 1990s. Albums such as Sepultura's Arise and Artillery's We are the Dead incorporated groovish melodies to thrash metal, however it wasn't until albums like Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, White Zombie's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, and Machine Head's Burn My Eyes that groove metal truly took its musical form. Unlike thrash metal and many of the other heavy metal subgenres, groove metal is not as riff-oriented. Artists of the genre tend to use slow/mid-placed thrash riffs while emphasizing drum work and/or vocals. It is a popular belief that modern hard rock or nu metal spawned from this genre of metal, though groove metal still gains more respect among metal fans than nu metal does. It should also be noted groove metal is not considered to be thrash despite the fact that it originated from it.
