Taking their moniker - with tongue, you have to suspect, firmly in cheek - from the real name of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jean have positioned themselves, over the course of nearly two decades and six albums to date, as one of the most influential and important bands currently playing metalcore. Admittedly, it hasn’t come without some internal turbulence, certainly in terms of their lineup, for which they appear to have operated something of an revolving door policy; lead guitarist Chris John Day is now their only remaining original member, with the rest of the current group completed by frontman Cory Brandan Putman, guitarist Jeff Hickey, bass played John Finnegan and Clayton ‘Goose’ Holyoak on drums.
They’ve even flirted with mainstream recognition over the years, having been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for sophomore LP ‘O God, the Aftermath’ in 2005, but for the most part, their biggest achievement has been carving out a revered status within the metal community as a whole. having toured as part of Ozzfest and the Warped Tour. They’ve supported the likes of Architects and The Dillinger Escape Plan, too, and were handpicked by Rob Zombie to play the side stage at his Mayhem Festival back in 2010.

Norma Jean has been honing their metalcore craft for the last twenty years almost. They have dominated the Christian charts with three number one albums and two number two albums. They take to the stage this evening with a great presence as though they know exactly what they are doing, and they of course do when they launch into “Robots 3 Humans 0”. The horde of an audience is soaking in their distinctive metalcore music, taking it all in. “Bastardizer” I s a huge song for the audience, setting of mosh pits left right and centre. The guitars leading the songs and the drums driving them in true metalcore fashion.
For a metalcore band, their albums have made it pretty high up in the charts with their highest Billboard 200 chart position being “The Anti Mother” peaking at 29. Not only this, but they have received a Grammy Award nomination in 2006 for “Best Recording Package” for their second album “O God, the Aftermath”.

I was really looking forward to Norma Jean after being a fan for years and never seeing them live. They certainly brought their vibe to the live show, but I was disappointed to hear only one song from their new album - and probably three from their last three. I don’t know if that’s how all their shows are, but I vote for more of the new stuff!

He is Legend is an amazing band. the pits were wild but everything there had my back (even tho im a 5" 1 girl) i felt out of this world listening to the music and feeling the bass in my chest.
i loved the experience and i hope to see them live again.

Norma Jean puts on one hell of a show! They are such down to earth guys and they truly enjoy making music and performing! They are humble and grateful and you just don't see that anymore. And they are even better off the stage! Such awesome guys to hang out anytime!

This band freakin' rocks. Best show I've seen in a long time. Very high energy, I couldn't stop moving cause they emitted so much to the crowd. Guys were available after the show for pics and were very chill.
