10 Worst Times Hard Rock Bands Changed Singers

Adema is a band that tends to be forgotten about and lost in the shuffle of the many mid-level nu-metal groups from the early 00's. Their biggest claim to fame was that they weren't even the biggest band out of Bakersfield, CA...that distinction would go to their frontman's brother's band: Korn.

Singer Mark Chavez is the half-brother of Jonathan Davis. Adema debuted in the summer of 2001. They found immediate success with the self-titled album off the backs of its two lead singles "Giving In" and "The Way You Like It". Together the group would release a follow up EP Insomniac's Dream and then another full length record in 2003, Unstable.

"Unstable" would be the best way to describe the band's next few years as guitarist Mike Ransom and Chavez began having conflicts so bad they wouldn't even speak to each other on tour. Ransom took off in 2003 and Chavez would leave Adema the next year. The remaining members began running through a cycle of replacement vocalists and guitarists.

Starting in '04-'05, they added vocalist Luke Caraccioli and released Planets with Tim Flukey handling all guitar duties. The album got mediocre reviews and Caraccioli would leave by the end of 2005. Next, Adema recruited two members from the band Level. Vocalist Bobby Reeves and guitarist Ed Farris contributed to 2007's Kill the Headlights, an album that wouldn't even reach the Billboard 200. Farris and Reeves stepped away in 2009 as Ransom and Chavez had interest in returning, however after one tour, they left the group again.

Over the next eight years, Fluckey himself stepped up into vocalist duties and that resulted in the 2013 EP Topple the Giants which is really only famous for its terrible album cover.
