How come heavy music slowed down so much in the 90s? Think about

hegelian dialectics applied to music
every thesis will have an antithesis
metal had been a challenge to go as fast as possible for about two decades, resulting in power, neoclassical, and thrash. suddenly, that was just flooded. naturally, innovators went the opposite direction and created doom metal. soon, a million doom subgenres were spawned, groove was spawned, and death metal moved into a mid tempo range when it wasn't death doom generally.
now that both sides are flooded, stuff like djent has surged just trying to go as fast as possible.

Have you ever read any Hegel that isn't the preface to phenomenology of the spirit? Second sources don't count friendo

Anon isn't wrong.

Try being in a band that just spent an entire decade trying to be the fastest and most technically insane band in the world. Try being in a scene where everyone has that mentality.

Suddenly you fold and say, "alright, I'm bored with this. Let's make something else."

>fastest and most technically insane band
it's funny you say that when tech death started in the 90s, showing that tendency continued it just got pushed to the niches

It was due to Sepultura.

I don't know, black metal is quite fast.

Very few people seriously listen to black metal compared to the average Metallica or Pantera listener.

Black metal has always tried to be as rebellious as possible, anyway. They would look on other bands changing to fit the current trends as "untrve" or poseurs.

Just because groove metal/nu metal became a thing in the 90s doesn't mean that genres like death metal and black metal weren't continuing to define themselves and creating more extreme styles and sub-subgenres as it continued to evolve. Also, Hardcore isn't metal.
