Yes, the bouncing bass bass is back, as Roots examines the funk metal explosion that bridged 1980s thrash metal with the alternative metal and nu metal of the 1990s. Prepare for a lively, unbrutal hour of freaky, kinetic funk and metal conjured by Infectious Grooves, Funkadelic, Primus, Ignorance, Scatterbrain, Mr. Bungle, 24-7 Spyz, Sweaty Nipples, Maximum the Hormone, and much more. A maligned and overlooked dayglo breed of metal gets its due—on Roots!

Figure out how the funk metal phenomenon fits into the full metal story—read SOUND OF THE BEAST: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, by Roots host Ian Christe.
