40 Below Summer, was a five-piece Aggressive Rock band/Nu-metal, began in 1998, when drummer and Peruvian native Carlos Aguilar met with singer Max Illidge and began playing together. Joe D'Amico joined the duet later, followed by Jordan Plingos and Puerto Rican-born Hector Graziani. Their first release was a self-released album called Side Show Freaks. Eventually, a deal was signed with London/Sire Records who released their first major label in October of 2001, Invitation To The Dance, produced by GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Kittie). Two months after the release of Invitation to the Dance, London/Sire Records went out of business due to major label corporate mergers.

What it cost me to assimilate myself
It engulfed me and turned me into someone else
It is crashing right into your face
Everlasting it seems to suffer in this
Please release me, please release me
Nothing I can do will change my life
Everything I had was never mine to keep inside
If I could give myself a new face
Then maybe I could join the human race
Time has frozen for me the walls are closing in
I am sinking in greed and trapped inside my skin
I am running away and getting nowhere fast
I am thinking how long can this last
Erase me, please erase me
And I rise above it all
And I run away
