I really enjoyed this series of videos. It's nice to know those musical roots to understand where a lot of them came from and the headspace they were in when writing a lot of those songs. NOLA metal definitely has a 'dirty' sound that is inimitable. It's raw, unpolished, southern, punk, and unapologetic. It's like a crawfish boil, if you think about it. You can hear the swamp in those notes. With Acid Bath, Eyehategod, Crowbar (and others) it almost sounds like their amps were pulled from the water and plugged in before drying. Even the thrashier (by comparison) Exhorder had that southern rawness and groove that was/is unique and reflected those bayou influences.
I would have enjoyed a few more episodes.
