Norma Jean is an American metalcore band hailing from Douglasville, Georgia, known for their searing intensity and a relentless spirit that has kept them at the forefront of the genre. Since their inception in 1997, the band has undergone several lineup changes, but their commitment to producing abrasive and heavy music with complex melodies remains unwavering. Initially forming under the name Luti-Kriss, the group changed their moniker to Norma Jean in 2002 to avoid confusion with the rapper Ludacris and to mark a significant shift in their sound and identity.

Throughout their career, Norma Jean has cultivated a devout following, thanks to a discography filled with powerful releases that showcase their ability to weave dense lyrical themes with sonic brutality. Their recent albums, including "All Hail" (2019) and singles like "Deathrattle Sing for Me" and "[Mind Over Mind]," attest to the band’s evolution and persistence in exploring the darker realms of metalcore. Norma Jean's influence not only rests within their recorded works but also in their incendiary live performances, which solidify their reputation as one of the genre's most compelling acts. Fans and critics alike praise them for their artistic integrity and their relentless dedication to pushing the boundaries of heavy music.
