Biography

New Jersey, United States (1998 – 2006, 2011 – present)

40 Below Summer is a five-piece nu metal music group from New Jersey, USA.

Formed in 1998, 40 Below Summer came together after drummer and Peruvian native Carlos Aguilar met with singer Max Illidge. Joey D’Amico later joined the duo, followed by Jordan Plingos and Puerto Rican-born Hector Graziani. Their first album Side Show Freaks (1999) and EP Rain (2000) were self released.

Invitation to the Dance (2001-2002)

Eventually, a deal was signed with London-Sire Records. Their debut major label album Invitation to the Dance was released on October 16, 2001, and was produced by GGGarth. Two months after its release, London-Sire went out of business due to a corporate merger. The album was subsequently re-issued through Warner Music.

After performing on the Jägermeister Music Tour with Drowning Pool, Coal Chamber and Ill Niño, and then again with Slipknot, Fear Factory, and Chimaira, but only on select dates. They started to write material for their second album. While the band started writing almost immediately after the release of their previous album, they threw out some fifteen songs before coming up with twenty one that they reduced down to the final ten (plus a bonus track, “The Day I Died”).

The Mourning After (2003-2005)
Unsigned at this point, Razor & Tie Records saw the band in February 2003 when they played in New York with E.Town Concrete. A deal was signed in June just as the band entered the studio. The band would later strike a licensing deal with Roadrunner Records for the album’s UK release.

    Fire At Zero Gravity is pretty much exactly what i was expecting The Mourning After to be, which of course it wasn't. Glad to see these guys back at the top of their game.

    Fire At Zero Gravity is an awesome album. Exactly what I wanted to hear. [2] Max has such a distinctive voice. No one can sound like him.

    Awesome band, but I don't care for the rapping much. Fire at Zero Gravity won't have it hopefully.

    No that was Hector who had partial hearing loss... but he regained it. It appears the core now just revolves around Max, Joey and Jordan... Jordan did the bass parts for the record & Joey stepped up and handled the drum parts... BADASSES! I loved them... I still love them. Just was conversing with Joey apparently the album sounds phenomenal which has me excited. That & I'm making plans to go take some guitar lessons from him here in a week or 2... LONG LIVE 40 BELOW SUMMER! They are back y'all. Unfortunately Hector & Carlos will not be involved but I'm sure they will find a phenomenal drummer... the bass player played for Marc Rizzo so I'm assuming he's no slouch LOL

    @Zach216 Didn't Carlos go deaf?

    I don't know I mean these days a band can't just tour like maniacs unless they catch a break and get on the big tours... 40 rules. I hadn't listened to them for years but this new release excites me, they are great guys. They are an unbelievably TIGHT band, all the songs on Invitation and The Mourning After are amazing. I can't believe JOEY is playing the drum parts on the new record, I love Carlos too bad he's not into it but I think Joey will step up & do a badass job!
