3rd Strike were a California nu metal band formed in 1995, with Jim Korthe on vocals, Todd Deguchi and Carlsson on guitars, Gabe Hammersmith on bass and PJ McMullan on drums. Their songs dug into the members' own former lives, which gave the usual rap-metal rage a raw, confessional edge.
Lost Angel, released on Hollywood Records in May 2002, was the first and only album they made. "No Light" is the one that got through to rock radio, all thick, grinding riffs and a chorus that tears itself open, and "Redemption" works the same seam of hurt and fury. They hit the road with Ozzfest and the Warped Tour behind the record, and "Into Hell Again" turned up on the soundtrack to Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life.
