Stemm Discusses New Album, UFC To Use New Song
"This new STEMM CD is our 'Vulgar Display of Power'" states lead vocalist / guitarist Joe Cafarella.
Comparing their latest release, "Blood Scent" (Catch 22 Records) to the epic release by the metal gods, Pantera is admittedly making a bold statement, but Cafarella will not budge in his reasoning. "There is a lot that went into the making of this CD. We are not saying that we are the next Pantera, that’s not even close to what I am saying. We just wanted to make a CD that would not pigeon hole us into a certain cliché sound. Let’s face it, Pantera made it on their live performances. While MTV was playing ‘Walk’ and ‘This Love’ us metal heads were cranking Fucking Hostile and Mouth for War. I am telling you that you will get that same type of feeling on the new STEMM CD as you would listening to Vulgar. And it’s just as real…"
"e never followed the rules" says Cafarella. "Our entire career we have felt like the underdogs. No matter how many hoops we jumped through for the industry people, it just wasn’t good enough." But STEMM found an ally in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) who took a liking to the band in the beginning stages of their musical career branding them as "The soundtrack to the UFC. "We wrote a song called 'Face the Pain,' which became the theme song for the UFC." "The song honestly doesn’t represent what we stand as today musically because we were a young band when we wrote the song." laughs Cafarella. But, the UFC still uses the song for all pay-per-view events as well as many other STEMM songs from the bands musical library which is also heard as background music for UFC / SPIKE TV programs "Ultimate Fighter" and "Unleashed" "We’re honored to be recognized in the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) community and be able to cross over aggressive music with aggressive sport."
At press time it was also confirmed that the track "House of Cards" from the new STEMM release, "Blood Scent," was selected as the theme song for "UFC Wired," hosted by Joe Rogan (Fear Factor / UFC commentator) on the Fox Network for the 2008 / 2009 season.

"Hello my friends I apologize that is has been so long since you have heard from me. However I just wanted to make sure that I was in a clear head space so I could articulate myself properly.

Stemm New E-Card Available
Western New York-based metal band STEMM have released an e-card featuring two tracks from their upcoming CD, "Songs for the Incurable Heart" (due on November 15). The song "13 Years" features a guest appearance on vocals by CHIMAIRA frontman Mark Hunter and was produced by Mike Hatalak of IT DIES TODAY.
Buffalo News recently had the following to say about STEMM: "Building a strong and loyal local following wasn't enough for these boys; they needed to take it outside. In the process the group nailed relationships with professional wrestling's Ultimate Fighting Championship — STEMM's original theme song has prefaced every pay-per-view event by the UFC since 2002. The group has composed soundtrack material for Xbox games; toured with and opened for the likes of CHIMAIRA, MUSHROOMHEAD, TRIVIUM, RUN-DMC, SEVENDUST, ILL NINO, MACHINE HEAD, NOTHINGFACE and BLEED THE SKY; and garnered airplay on Music Choice's metal station."
