NEXT-GEN NU MODERN METAL is the ultimate Serum 2 preset pack for producers creating the new wave of Nu Metal and Modern Metal. Packed with 50 mix-ready presets – including heavy basses, aggressive leads, DJ scratches, metallic pulses, synth guitar layers, and electronic drum kits – every sound has been crafted specifically for heavy modern productions.

If you’ve ever struggled to find synth sounds that actually work in Nu Modern Metal, this is for you. No more scrolling through hundreds of generic presets that sound thin, outdated, or need tons of post-processing. Every preset is 100% mix-ready, designed to slot straight into your productions and cut through the mix from the start.

The perfect bridge between 2000s nostalgia and modern production standards. Built for the new generation of Nu Metal, while also fitting perfectly into Modern Metal, Metalcore, and Alt Rock productions. Every sound has a purpose – there are no generic presets, no unnecessary variations, and no filler.

No filler. No fluff. Just real-world, performance-ready sounds made specifically for modern heavy music. Save time, stay inspired, and bring the next generation of Nu Metal to life with synths that are made to go heavy.
