Original ADEMA Lineup Reunites, Begins Work On New Material

August 13, 2009

The original lineup of the Bakersfield, California rock band ADEMA — Marky Chavez (vocals),David Deroo (bass),Tim Fluckey (guitar),Mike Ransom (guitar),and Kris Kohls (drums) — has reunited and is currently putting together its first-ever DVD, due later this year.

Commented Chavez (who is the half-brother of KORN's Jonathan Davis): "The original band has not sat in a room together in five years. However, we have all been in touch and are excited to reform THE REAL ADEMA. First comes a DVD full of ADEMA shows, backstage mayhem, and rare experiences found nowhere else. Next we write a great record and hopefully tour before we drop the new record.

"I want to let my band know that I am thankful that God has brought us back together and I'd like to extend my thanks to everyone that has been behind ADEMA.

"Stay tuned — 2010 is our year to wreck some shit.

"God Bless everyone who reads this. I am truly excited about these unexpected plans."

According to the band, the as-yet-untitled DVD will exclusively contain material from the group's original lineup and will feature "tons of hard-to-find, rare and never-before-seen footage, including videos, live and rehearsal footage, TV appearances, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the making of [the albums] 'Adema' [2001] and 'Unstable' [2003]." The band adds, "We're not sure EXACTLY what will be on it as we are working on clearances, etc., but expect it to be nothing short of awesome."

ADEMA's latest album, "Kill the Headlights", was released in August 2007 via Immortal Records. The CD was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Marshall Altman (MARC BROUSSARD, ZEBRAHEAD). Mastering duties were handled by Eddie Schreyer at Oasis Mastering in Burbank.

ADEMA in 2006 announced the addition of vocalist Bobby Reeves of the Los Angeles-based band LEVEL to the group's ranks. Reeves joined ADEMA as the replacement for Luke Caraccioli, who left the band in October 2005 — only six months after the release of their first album ("Planets") without the contributions of Chavez.
