Adema
built 636 days ago
Adema was released in August of 2001 and is considered by the music industry to be a test of hitmaker and new Arista president Antonio Reid's ability to succeed outside of the R&B genre. Expectation for Adema to fail was high but the band proceeded to deliver an eponymous debut record, produced by Tobias Miller and Bill Appleberry, that had soon clocked up half a million sales in North America, peaking at no. 27 on the Billboard charts. That success led to a coveted main stage spot on the Ozzfest tour and certified gold record the following year.

The band’s eponymous debut, Adema, was released in August 2001 to moderate success. Its two major singles, "Giving In" and "The Way You Like It," received significant airplay on rock radio. All the lyrics were written by Chavez,[4] and the album was produced by Bill Appleberry (7th House) and Tobi Miller (Wallflowers guitarist).[2] It was certified Gold, and the band received a spot on the main stage during the Ozzfest tour. They kept playing live with the Music as a Weapon, SnoCore Rock, and Projekt Revolution tours.[5]

Furthermore, Adema's song has been chosen to be the first single off the soundtrack and a video for the song is currently in the works; "Cry Wolf" film director Jeff Wadlow is directing the music video which features footage of Adema as well as shots from the film.

A new world of powerful, emotional hard rock is about to unfold and captivate all who stray into Adema's orbit. Back with new singer Luke Caraccioli ‘Planets’ deals up a memorizing display of devastatingly catchy modern rock songs that will stay with you long after the CD has ended. Perfectly executed hard hitting, harmonious vocals are backed up by infectious, rocked out guitar riffs and a superbly driving drum and bass feel. This is essential music that seeps in through the pores and becomes your newest addiction.

The first thing you need to know about Adema is that they don’t like being called nu-metal. In fact, according to drummer Kris Kohls, the nu-metal genre itself is little more than a media invention.

Adema comes from a broken home, dying to break into the business he found himself in FMW. His love for blood and violence got the attention of the 'Walking Hate Crime', Syanide. Syanide took Aeries under his wing, showing him how to become a true Aryan. Adema is here to show people that the era of Blood and Violence has only just begun and that the Aryan Antichrist is here to stay.
