Spike 1000

Formed in the early '90s in Korn's home town of Stockton, CA, Spike 1000 had to be patient while watching their "new metal" neighbors pile-up the platinum records and every other mega rock star accoutrements. Leading the group's modern hard rock (if not quite new metal) charge is vocalist Shannon Harris, a powerful singer. Harris has a muscular contralto that might fool casual fans into thinking they're listening to a male vocalist. Assisting Harris in her aggressive pursuit of metal excellence are musicians Bill Thompson (guitars), Mfat (bass), and Jeff Jones on drums.
