Saliva is the debut studio album by American

nu-metal band Saliva. The album was recorded during several sessions between January and July 1997 at Rockingchair Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, and released on Rockingchair Records on August 26, 1997.[2][3]
It is their only album to feature original drummer Todd Poole, who would leave in 1999 and was replaced by Paul Crosby.

Re-Issue (2003)

Following the major record label success of the band, after the release of

RED Distribution
imprint RUMM (RED Urban Music Marketing). The re-issue came out in 2003 with identical audio content but featured updated artwork. The front cover was completely redesigned and features a woman's face with her eyes closed, playing off the artwork of Every Six Seconds. The CD face was also altered from an all-black background on the original to a crackled texture on the re-issue. The booklet and back cover remained mostly identical with few exceptions; a different font was used for the text, the alignment was improved, the contact information was changed and there is a slight color shade difference: while the original issue had a more blue-ish gray tone, the re-issue has a more green-ish gray tone. The re-issue version's artwork was also designed and updated by Brandon Seavers, who had by this time bought out the multi-media company Audio MasterWorks with Mark Yoshida and renamed it AudioGraphic MasterWorks.

Appearances

Four songs originally recorded for Saliva were later re-recorded with producer

soundtrack to the American horror film Resident Evil
in 2002.

When Saliva released its
