The flavor of the whole affair had a slightly cinematic quality to it despite the generally down-to-earth tone of the interview segments and the correspondingly compelling yet humble stage presentation during the band’s stroll down the sonic corner of memory lane. The band's second album, Break The Cycle, debuted at the top of the US album charts in June 2001.Coinciding with “Break The Cycle”’s 20 th anniversary, this veteran quartet has opted to mark the occasion with a live performance of the album in its entirety, with testimonials from all the current band members interspersed within the event. This proved to be a good choice, as the songs on Dysfunction eschewed the overt hip-hop influence of Limp Bizkit for a more traditional style of hard rock rooted in the early 90s sound of Alice In Chains. A reworking of Public Enemy's "Bring The Noise", featuring Durst, was left off the final tracklisting. A contract with Flip Records ensued in early 1998, and the band decamped to Pearl Jam's studio in Seattle to record their major-label debut with producer Terry Date. An initial misunderstanding about Tormented's satanic cover art almost saw them coming to blows with Fred Durst, but Limp Bizkit's lead vocalist was impressed enough to invite the band to record demos for his production company. The album went on to sell over 4,000 copies by word of mouth, and also gained them a high-profile support slot for Limp Bizkit's Connecticut show in October 1997. The following year, having established themselves as a leading live draw, the band recorded and distributed their debut, Tormented. Profile The line-up of this US alternative metal act, comprising Aaron Lewis (vocals), Mike Mushok (guitar), Johnny April (bass) and Jon Wyscoki (drums), came together in February 1995.
