Artists like Jeff Buckley and Jakob Dylan have shown musical talent can run in the family. It should come as no surprise, then, that Mark Chavez, who is the younger brother of Korn's Jonathan Davis, is as just as adept at delivering bone-crunching, angst-laden nu-metal as his older sibling. On UNSTABLE, however, Chavez's band Adema goes one step further by injecting the genre with a healthy dose of pure pop melody amongst the larynx-lacerating death metal-isms and down-tuned guitar thrashing. In addition, there are hints that someone in the band is a fan of Depeche Mode, or perhaps the keyboard-driven pop-prog of POWER WINDOWS-era Rush. In other words, Adema is no second-generation rap-rock rip off, but rather a band unafraid to build upon its stellar metal pedigree with a variety of atypical sonic detours.
