I agree with everything you said, except one thing:

retzam said:

Lacuna Coil sounds like nu-metal anyway

Huh? You'll have to explain this one to me...

Nu-metal, a marketing trend that began with Korn, is a subgenre that was mostly constructed by record labels, rather than organically by actual bands or fans (unlike every other style of metal). It's very trendy, homogenized, unmelodic music where good composition and musicianship are meaningless (unlike every other style of metal).

Clearly, there would be no System of a Down without Korn. But Lacuna Coil's music shows ZERO influence from the whole nu-metal/metalcore shitfest in the US over the last decade, they've developed completely independently of that trend, and they would sound exactly the same had Korn never existed. They are gothic/atmospheric metal, which couldn't be further from the noise of nu-metal.
