Background

After Mark Chavez, again went into retreat with themselves because of the certificate of his famous half-brother and big grain - singer Jonathan Davis, he simply was not good enough, he set out to look for the matching ribbon colleagues. After Mike Ransom as first joined him, were joined by him nor Tim Fluckey, Dave DeRoo and Kris Kohls last ( "They asked me if I wanted to import the demo. , I thought to myself, I watch at this. When she have then played me the first two songs, it almost blew me away. "). The well-established formation of this demo was then sent to various record companies, whereupon finally Arista Records penetrated against the other more than twenty labels offered and took the band under contract. Thus Adema managed the feat to grab as metal band a record deal without ever previously even to complete a single gig.

Reception

Ademas debut was recorded fairly divided. While Marcus Schleutermann the quintet from Bakersfield attested from the Rock Hard with 7.5 of 10 points a strong idea, " the only of the unconvincing hate lumps ' Drowning ' and some arrogant - stupid lyrics like ' Blow It Away 'or' The Way You Like It is ' diminished ', judged the music magazine VISIONS in his review the album a bit more critical: " A little less structure and more originality could make it into more." It missed 7 of 12 possible points.

A Totalveriss got it from Metalwebzine metal.de that even with only 3 abspeiste Ademas debut of 10 points: " It has simply nothing can burn, relies entirely on the traditional NuMetal -course (the Nu for " Nu is sometimes slow good " may stand ): as a starter a little subdued vocal Emo abstractions, as a main course a sufficient portion Guitar meat and dessert not quite thawed chant. The whole thing is liquefied with a lot of unsavory not vocal melody Tütensoße so it goes down into the stomach and the ultimate lowbrow consumption vultures. The rest is then allowed to get sound and Marketing chefs. Although at said dessert at Adema something is saved and you can almost completely covered the usual hue - and - murder Roar here under the table, this makes the music hardly refined; rather the contrary. It is this such a banal conventionality make the band simply irrelevant. Under these circumstances, economic necessities such as the above- quoted slogan ever get to impudence. If not currently happen to be an American invasion in Bushe, no one will soon be able to force me (except my editor) to be U $ - bands like this in my immodest spoon. "
