From Los Angeles, California, Adler formed in 2011 by original/former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler. The band was formed following the dissolution of Adler's previous band, Adler's Appetite, and consists of Adler along with vocalist/guitarist Jacob Bunton, guitarist Lonny Paul, and L.A. Guns bassist Johnny Martin. Back from the Dead is the only studio album by Adler, released on November 26, 2012 via New Ocean Media. The album's release was preceded by the single "The One That You Hated", which was released on April 10, 2012 via iTunes. It is the first album that Steven Adler has been completely involved with after he left Guns N' Roses, (not including the two EPs that are only sold through certain internet websites during his previous time with the band Adler's Appetite) and the first full-length album he has played all drum tracks on since Appetite for Destruction. The album features performances from Slash and John 5 (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson) and was recorded from January 2012 to April 2012 in Los Angeles, California with producer Jeff Pilson and mixed by Jay Ruston.
