These testosterone-fueled bands aren't just for the guys
(by Justin Kendall, October 2001 issue)

In Adema's case, the seed doesn't fall far from the Korn stalk. The brooding nu-metal group's front man, Mark "Marky" Chavez, is Jonathan Davis' little bro. Though Mark admits his bloodline helped catch the attention of record labels, he's adamant that hsi band won't stand in anyone's shadow. "We sound a lot different. Korn is a bit heavier than we are. We're more melodic rock," he says. Headbangers got to preview tracks from the foursome's self-titled debut album during Adema's summer tour with Staind and Disturbed. "Every day I wake up, I don't know who I'm going to meet, what I'm going to see or whose path I might cross," says Mark. "It's a nonstop adventure."
