Ryan Shuck Says “There’s No Chance” Of Adema Reuniting With Marky Chavez

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent appearance on “J-Bunny’s Music Hub Podcast,” Adema vocalist Ryan Shuck was asked about the possibility of the band reuniting with their original singer Marky Chavez. The frontman responded by saying “there’s no chance” of that ever happening.

Shuck said the following:

“Oh, no, no, no. There’s not a chance. No, no, no. I own this. There’s no option for that. No, not at all. I tried to put it together with Marky. That’s how I ended up accidentally offering, or accepting, their kind of plea for some, ‘Hey, will you come in and sing for us for a tour?’ And it just turned out so well that I kept doing it.

No, there’s no chance [of Chavez returning to the band]. Unfortunately, Marky‘s jumped in, told them that he’s gonna do it and then he’s jumped out and pulled the plug on too many big tours, on too many good things, and it’s dampened the band so badly.

Marky‘s really not been a great person and hasn’t really respected the art and the fans and the band, and obviously isn’t doing it anymore at all — you know, just doesn’t seem to care.

These guys will go play. If they get a tour offer, the guys will do it — they’ll do it at the drop of a dime. And you have a situation with Marky where he continually pulls the carpet out from under the band. And all they’ve wanted is for a singer to have his shit together. I happen to be that guy. The multiple singers they’ve had have not had their shit together — they haven’t had the experience that I’ve had and they haven’t had the vision or the management or the things that I bring to the table.

I think that the performance of the two singles are evidence, proof that [producer] Amir [Derakh] and I know what the fuck we’re doing. They’re performing better than any of the singles they’ve released on major labels with any of the past singers, and they’re performing on par with the original Adema stuff. I have all the numbers because I am the record label. And it’s doing really, really well. So, for me, that was sort of the indicator of whether I should keep doing it or not.

But no, I don’t think there’s a chance in hell these guys would ever do anything with Marky again. Most of the fans, I think, get it. The fans that don’t get it, unfortunately, you’re missing someone that doesn’t like you. You’re missing someone that does not care about whether or not you supported him.”

Adema Premiere “Violent Principles” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Adema have premiered a new video for their new song “Violent Principles.” This track will appear on the band’s upcoming album “360 Degrees Of Separation.” Vocalist Ryan Shuck commented:

“‘360 Degrees Of Separation‘ is going to have plenty of heavy songs with all the ripping screams and vocals that we know many of our fans want – but it will also have heavy melodic tracks in the vein of Adema‘s hit songs like ‘Giving In‘. ‘Violent Principles‘ is one of those.”

Adema Planning To Release A New Single “Every Six To Eight Weeks”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Discoveringbands.com, Adema’s Ryan Shuck confirmed that the band are planning to release a series of singles leading up to their new album “360 Degrees Of Separation.” The frontman says new tracks will “hopefully” arrive “every six to eight weeks.”

Shuck said the following about the band’s latest single “Ready To Die“:

“‘Ready To Die’ took the better part of the last two years to kind of develop. It’s not like we sat down and took two years to write the song, but when I joined the band, we kind of needed to figure out whether or not a) I would work in the band, and it turned out to work; on the first tour, it worked really, really well. And then b) would be what do we sound like and where do we go with me as the singer? So we spent a lot of time just talking, being friends, kind of discussing what makes ADEMA, ADEMA. What is it that is so cool? And me coming in as a fan and a friend, and then now part of the band, I can use that detachment to essentially reinforce to these guys what I think it is. So we kind of spent some time writing. We wrote a bunch of songs — we have probably seven or eight tracks that we [could] play right now, but we wanna be careful with what we let out and when. And we just kind of developed for a while and really focused on where we came from — nu metal, Bakersfield, KORN, all the people that we came up with, the movement that we were part of starting. And as we kind of started working through all that, ‘Ready To Die’ and a couple of other tracks started rising to the top as the most pure ADEMA sound, and I was able to be me on top of it, and it just worked. And from what we can see so far, the fans agree.”

He continued when asked if the other songs on “360 Degrees Of Separation” are as heavy as “Ready To Die”:

“It’s a great question because I think we have a lot of fans who probably doubted whether or not we would be good and what it would sound like. And now they’re all kind of going, ‘Oh, fuck. It works. This is awesome.’ I think about half the music is gonna be that heavy, and I think there’s another half of the music that’s gonna be really melodic. ADEMA’s biggest songs were ‘Giving In’, ‘The Way You Like It’, ‘Immortal’. All those are really melodic songs — they’re not screaming shit. We have both, but whether or not we’re gonna come right out with that stuff remains to be seen. We kind of had the feeling that we wanted to throw some red meat out first and just go, like, ‘Hey, look. We know who we are. We know who you are. We hear you. We get it. And we can prove ourselves to you.’ And then I think we’ll start rolling [out] some of the more melodic stuff. A couple of them are recorded and in the can. So we could release it right now. It’s very hard for us, ’cause we wanna put it out. But you’ve gotta put it out in the right order.”

He also added the following about release plans:

“We’re not shooting to release an album all at once. We’re gonna release singles, and then we’ll release an album with additional tracks on it. So it’ll essentially be us releasing, hopefully every six to eight weeks, a new song and building the brand back up and getting people excited for new stuff happening more, instead of just firing an entire album out with one single and the rest of ’em are just kind of throwaways. We really wanna make every track amazing, and then we’ll wrap it up with the rest of the tracks on all the DSPs and physical album — vinyl, all that kind of stuff, all the special products that go with that.”

Adema Premiere “Ready To Die” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Adema have premiered a new video for their new song “Ready To Die.” This track will appear on their upcoming album “360 Degrees Of Separation.” Frontman Ryan Shuck said the following about the song:

“I was at a point where I was absolutely ready to die. My system for living was not working anymore. I was crushed by the grief of losing one of my closest friends (Chester Bennington) to the same demons. I had been suicidal and severely depressed for years, and had no way out. I was in a living hell. The song is in some ways me dealing with myself in the mirror, but I very much think the concept also applies to anyone that is finally ready to break free from their demons, toxic relationships, or situations. There comes a point where you will go to any length to get better.”
