AdemaAdemaAdema is a Nu Metal group from Bakersfield, California. Its first album, self-titled Adema, was released in 2001. Two singles from the album, "The Way You Like It" and "Giving In", helped it sell over 600,000 copies. The band followed up with two albums that met with limited success. Insomniac's Dream (2002), an EP, sold only about 50,000 albums, while Unstable (2003) sold about 110,000. Following the release of Unstable, the band lost its guitarist Mike Ransom, and left the Arista label. The band's (ex)lead singer, Marky Chavez, is the half-brother of Korn's Jonathan Davis. When the band was launched, many criticized it for leaning on this relationship to gain attention, though it now seems unwarranted. However, Mark Chavez has recently quit the band in September 2004, due to musical differences. They are planning to release an album on their new label, Earache, in early 2005 with a new vocalist who's name is Luke Caraciolli. Caraciolli is from a band called Rewind Yesterday.
