** As you might have seen with Pantera's example above, groove metal '''can''' get to level 11, although it's rare. Other than "Suicide Note Pt. II", another level 11 example is "Black Label" by Lamb of God.

* CarefulWithThatAxe - It is fairly common in groove metal for vocalists to suddenly scream at random parts of a song. Music/{{Pantera}} were rather well-known for making liberal use of the style, most notably in "The Great Southern Trendkill"

* DeadUnicornTrope - Groove metal is a rather ill-defined genre; no one's really sure if it is a spin-off of thrash metal or a more "bluesy" variant of metal, or something entirely different. While musical characteristics such as slow-to-mid-tempo riffs, bluesy solos, string bending and gravelly vocals are often used, there are so many exceptions that fans often argue about some bands that do not fall into the usual stereotypes.
* GenreBusting[=/=]GenreRoulette - Groove metal is fairly notable for the ease of fusing it with other heavy metal styles such as ProgressiveMetal, PowerMetal, ThrashMetal, DeathMetal and NuMetal. Consequently, it has become common practice among groove metal bands to produce material that showcase seemingly disparate heavy metal stylings, as such with the case of Music/{{Meshuggah}} (produced TechnicalDeathMetal alongside their usual groove songs) and Music/{{Nevermore}} (overlap with PowerMetal and ProgressiveMetal).



* HarshVocals - Grunts, rasps, and growls are very common in groove metal.



** The hardest bands in the genre are Lamb of God and Chimaira.
* TheScrappy - Amongst metalheads (especially on Metal-Archives), groove metal is pretty unpopular, though it doesn't get as much hate as metalcore or nu-metal. Within the genre, Hellyeah and Damageplan probably get the most hate due to a perception of not living up to [[Music/{{Pantera}} their drummer's legacy]].

Groove metal was most popular in the early nineties, after which it got replaced by NuMetal, which itself occasinally took influences from Groove Metal (some bands more than others). There are also several {{Metalcore}} bands considered to also be groove metal; these include LambOfGod and Shadows Fall.

'''Do not''' confuse the genre with FunkMetal, which is a sub-genre of AlternativeMetal that focuses on bass playing and rhythm. The two genres, however, occasionally overlap, such as in the case of Soulfly.

First of all, who played groove metal first? Let's not get into that. Mentioning Pantera, Exhorder and "stole from" in the same sentence is guaranteed to cause InternetBackdraft, so let's not have discussions about who stole from whom. [[hottip:*:[[{{Irony}} The members of Pantera and Exhorder are friends.]]
