40 Below Summer is an American nu metal band hailing from New Jersey, noted for its aggressive blend of heavy metal, alternative rock, and emotional lyricism. They first captured attention with their 2001 breakthrough album, "Invitation To The Dance (PA Version)," which showcased the band's penchant for ferocious riffs, rhythmic complexity, and vocalist Max Illidge's distinctive delivery. The band's line-up, centered around Illidge and guitarist Joe D'Amico, has evolved over the years, but their core sound has remained faithful to the raw intensity of their early work.

Throughout their career, 40 Below Summer has soared and dipped with the changes in the music industry and their own personal trials, but they've consistently managed to deliver passionate records to a dedicated fanbase. With albums like "The Mourning After” and "The Last Dance," they've solidified their place in the nu metal genre, hitting their stride with a matured sound that didn't abandon the emotional outpour and heavy groove that their fans came to love. Their more recent projects, such as "Rain," "Fire At Zero Gravity," and "Transmission Infrared," showcase a band that has not lost its touch for crafting heavy, emotive music that resonates with the trials and tribulations of its listeners, always aiming to connect with fans on a personal level through their hard-hitting, no-holds-barred approach to songwriting.
