Episode 46: Adema's "Adema", or a Nu-Metal Cinderella Story

The P.O.D. Kast

After a Poll of bands we thought may never get a chance to win, Adema's "Adema" emerged as the clear victor and how could it not: an album we loved a single from, featuring Jonathan Davis' half-brother and a bunch of listeners telling us it's good. Well, folks...it's good. So good, in fact, that Bryan teases the P-word. Does it reach Perfecto status? You'll have to listen to find out. And of course, the articles are as good as you expect, as everyone in the band seems to hate Jonathan Davis' half-brother Marky--no one more than their current vocalist and former Orgy guitarist Ryan Shuck--and bassist Dave DeRoo declares them a nu-metal "Cinderella Story". You know, that classic tale where a band makes their debut album and labels get into a bidding war over them because the lead singer is one of the most popular band's in the world's singer's half-brother and one of the other guys used to be in that same singer's former band with a guy who is currently in Orgy, whose singer's dad is an industry maven...you get the point. It's a true come-from-behind, rags-to-riches tale and we dig into all of it right here.
