In 1999, the band entered the studio at Indigo Ranch in Malibu, California, with producer Ross Robinson ( At the Drive-In , Korn , Limp Bizkit , Slipknot , among others) to record their first full-length album titled Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence , which saw release in 2000 through Roadrunner Records . On being signed, guitarist Justin Beck said: “Ross showed up at a practice, we start a song; 5-4-3-2-1. Ross stands up, waving his hands and he’s like, ‘It’s over, it’s done. I want to do this, you’ve got a deal! ‘ ” The line-up on this record was Palumbo, Beck, Todd Weinstock, Manuel Carrero and Sammy Siegler (who left the band prior to the subsequent tour). Robinson has said of it: “Our goal at the time of that record was to destroy Adidas rock”, a self-deprecating reference to the Adidas-sponsored bands (Korn, Limp Bizkit) Robinson had produced and championed as part of the nu-metal movement.
