Archive material and source history
First Degree formed in Los Angeles in 1993 around Jonathan Davis, Patrick Cupples, and Dan Dimitrov. Their debut album 'The Law of Nine' came out in 1995. The band's sound mixed heavy rock with some nu-metal touches, heard on later albums like 'The Day That Never Comes' from 2000 and 'Ten Thousand Fists' from 2005.
In 2007, they released 'Abundance,' a song that became one of their most recognizable tracks. Other songs like 'Blinded' and 'Dive' show their approach to hard rock with melodic edges. Davis's arrest for drug possession in 1998 was noted in press at the time, though the band kept working.
Their music sometimes drew criticism for being too dark or pessimistic, but they generally stuck to their style without major shifts. They built a following through live shows and a series of albums through the 2000s.
