Our Mission

Nu-Metal Preservation (NMP) is a community-driven digital archive dedicated to the preservation of music from the nu-metal genre and its related sub-genres. Our focus is on locating, documenting, and preserving physical and digital releases, especially rare demos, regional albums, independent CDs, and other media at risk of being lost to time.

Many physical releases are vulnerable to damage, scarcity, and disc rot. By organizing verified information, preserving high-quality scans, documenting sources, and tracking missing materials, NMP helps keep this music accessible for future listeners, researchers, collectors, and fans.
