Taproot originally sent a demo to Limp Bizkit frontman and businessman/entrepreneur/producer Fred Durst in 1998. He promised the four-piece band the world on a silver platter, but never followed-through. Taproot landed a deal with Atlantic Records soon after. Durst felt betrayed by this and ignited a hilarious one-sided rivalry with the band even as Limp Bizkit’s star was fading, the culmination of which was a ridiculous answering machine message from Durst which has circulated download sites ever since. He also laid blame on System of a Down, who had apparently assisted Taproot in inking their deal. Their Velvet Hammer Atlantic debut, “gift,” (yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a…) was released in June 2000. Thanks to the liking of Ozzy Osbourne’s son, Jack, Taproot scored a spot at the second stage at the 2000 OzzFest tour. Two years later, Rolling Stone hailed Taproot as the “next contenders for the new-metal crown.” Taproot then spent seven months in Los Angeles recording a follow-up to “Gift.
