Adam Gontier's Powerful Performance on 'Animal' Steers 3DG to Rock Stardom

In the early 2000s, Canadian alternative metal band Three Days Grace was rapidly rising through the ranks of rock music thanks in large part to lead vocalist Adam Gontier. With his distinctive baritone voice and knack for crafting anthemic yet personal lyrics, it wasn't long before fans around the world were drawn into their high-octane sound.

One song that stands out as a prime example of 3DG's growing influence is 'Animal I Have Become', an electrifying single taken from their sophomore effort of the same name. Released in June 2006 via RCA Records, this critically-acclaimed album catapulted Three Days Gavin (as they were briefly known) into superstardom.

Comprising frontman Adam Gontier alongside lead guitarist Neil Sanderson and brothers Brad & Tyler Burdon on bass and drums respectively; it was clear that these four Canadian rockers had finally found their groove - literally speaking of course!

The title track 'Animal' itself can be seen as a metaphor for society's more savage tendencies. With its pounding drum beats, crunching guitars riffs galore plus Gont'ter’s growling yet emotive vocals delivering lines such as 'I've been trying not to give in' - it easy see why this particular offering became an instant hit with audiences worldwide.

But beyond just being another chart-topping single however lies a deeper message waiting to be uncovered. For Adam Gontier, who struggled himself throughout his teenage years struggling with anxiety and depression before finding solace through music; 'Animal I Have Become' serves as both personal testimony AND powerful call-to-arms against those same demons that continue plague so many today.

So here's hoping you'll take a moment to listen closely - for within these raw, visceral walls lies more than just catchy hooks & anthemic choruses...
