Saliva
Emergence and Early Success:
Saliva, an American rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, initially gained recognition in the late 1990s. Led by vocalist Josey Scott, the band's debut album, "Every Six Seconds," was released in 2001 and spawned the hit single "Your Disease." The album quickly gained traction, reaching platinum status and propelling the band into mainstream success.
Continued Success and Challenges:
Following their debut album's success, Saliva released a string of albums, including "Back into Your System" (2002), "Survival of the Sickest" (2004), and "Blood Brothers" (2006). These albums maintained the band's popularity, showcasing their signature blend of alt-metal and hard rock.
However, the band faced challenges along the way. In 2006, Scott abruptly left Saliva, citing personal and health issues. The band replaced him with Bobby Amaru, but Scott's departure sparked a lengthy legal battle that hindered their progress.
Return and Resurgence:
Despite the setbacks, Saliva regrouped and released "Cinco Diablo" in 2008. The album saw the return of Scott as a guest vocalist, and its release marked a resurgence for the band. They continued to tour extensively and released subsequent albums, including "Under Your Skin" (2010), "In It to Win It" (2013), and "10 Lives" (2016).
