Knoxville, TN, US · 1999–present · active
Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1999, 10 Years craft a brooding blend of alternative metal and post-grunge anchored by Jesse Hasek's haunting vocal range. Their 2006 breakthrough album 'The Autumn Effect' spawned the hit 'Wasteland,' establishing them as one of the more cerebral acts in the hard rock landscape. Across eight studio albums, they've consistently delivered emotionally charged songwriting that balances heavy riffs with atmospheric restraint.
New Jersey, US · 1998–present · active
40 Below Summer are a New Jersey nu-metal band who captured the anxious, groove-heavy side of early-2000s heavy music. Formed in 1998, they broke through with Invitation to the Dance, a record that paired Max Illidge's volatile vocal shifts with thick guitars, syncopated rhythms, and songs like "We the People," "Rope," "Step Into the Sideshow," and "Falling Down." The Mourning After and later releases such as The Last Dance, Fire at Zero Gravity, Transmission Infrared, and Untethered kept the band connected to listeners who valued nu metal's emotional rawness and rhythmic impact. 40 Below Summer fit metal scope through nu metal, alternative metal, and hard-rock heaviness, with enough hardcore edge and groove to stand apart from more polished radio acts of the same era. Their strongest material feels tense and physical, moving between whispered unease, shouted release, and riffs that lock into the body. The band never depended on subtlety, but that is part of the appeal: 40 Below Summer make frustration sound oversized, immediate, and built for a room moving in unison.
