In this context, it is all the more remarkable that a representative of the genre has managed to achieve commercial success. We are talking about Nasty, the most successful and influential Beatdown band in the world. It's their particularly nasty grunts, exceptionally groovy downtempo breakdowns, and incomparably hardcore riffs that have earned the band such great attention over the years.
