Course of Nature is an American alternative rock band that gained prominence in the early 2000s with a sound that meshes grunge influences with a modern rock sensibility. The band was originally formed in Enterprise, Alabama, by lead vocalist and guitarist Mark Wilkerson. They quickly made a name for themselves with an engaging mix of melodic hooks and powerful rock instrumentation, spearheaded by their first major label release, "Superkala," in 2002. The album featured well-received singles like "Caught in the Sun" and "Wall of Shame," which showcased the band's knack for crafting accessible rock anthems coupled with introspective lyrics.

Following "Superkala," Course of Nature continued to evolve their sound and explore themes of personal and societal struggle, often weaving a narrative of resilience and introspection through their music. Their subsequent releases, such as "Damaged" and "Anger Cage," reflect a band that has matured, delving deeper into the complexities of the human experience while maintaining the energetic and engaging rock sound that initially defined them. Their ability to balance raw emotion with polished musicianship has endeared them to a dedicated fanbase and ensured their place within the landscape of early 2000s alternative rock.
