Soil + Adema

A bill pairing the American alternative metal bands Soil and Adema with Breed77, Ryan McCombs and Adam Zadel, staged at Nightrain, a Leeds venue for concerts and shows.

Soil is an American band formed in Chicago in 1997, playing alternative metal, hard rock and nu metal. Signed to J Records, it released its first album, Throttle Junkies, in 1999. Adema is an American band formed in Bakersfield in 1998, playing alternative metal, nu metal and alternative rock. Signed to Arista Records, it released its self-titled debut album, Adema, in 2001.

Both headline acts belong to the nu metal and alternative metal scene that developed in American rock around the turn of the millennium, so the two groups share a common sound while drawing on different strands of it. Their catalogues are the main reference point for the evening, alongside the other names on the bill: Breed77, Ryan McCombs and Adam Zadel.

Nightrain hosts concerts and shows in Leeds. The night is aimed at listeners of alternative metal, nu metal and alternative rock, the styles that both headline bands are built on.
