Since it's inception in 1998, Adema has had more line up changes than a black metal band and more drama than a soap opera. Currently the band is on its third singer, Bobby Reeves formerly of the band LEVEL, and its third record label, Immortal records. Adema is most well known for its 2001 hit single 'Giving In' and its connection to the Bakersfield music scene that spawned Korn. But what's really interesting about the band is how much it has evolved over the years and how its' managed to stay together despite all of the drama surrounding it. Three members have managed to stick it out in this band since 1999, drummer Kris Kohls, bassist Dave DeRoo, and guitarist Tim Fluckey and they are back with 'Kill the Headlights' produced by Marshall Altman (who previously worked with Zebrahead). On this new album the band tries to meld its nu-metal roots and its desire to be considered a series rock band. 'Days go By' is an emotional ballad with a commercial tinge to it, in the vein of Hoobastank. The first single 'Cold and Jaded' uses a bit of synthesizer effects along with a crunchy bass line for the verses and then busts out with a very hooky chorus. The bands song writing skills seem to be getting better with each album though stylistically the band still has its same influences of Linkin Park, Cold and other modern rock bands, and of course who could write a review of Adema and not mention Korn as an influence, mostly detachable in Adema's use of chunky, low-tuned rhythm sections.
