Gemini Syndrome is an American alternative metal band formed in 2010[1] in Los Angeles, California. The band currently consists of vocalist Aaron Nordstrom,[2] drummer Brian Steele Medina, Miguel "Meegs" Rascon, Nicholas Paul Arnold, and bassist Alessandro "(AP)" Paveri.[3] Their debut album, titled Lux, was released in September 2013. Reviewers drew comparisons to bands like Mudvayne, Five Finger Death Punch, and Tool.[1] Four singles spawned from Lux: "Pleasure and Pain," "Left of Me," "Basement," and "Stardust," which peaked at no. 19 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[4]

In a press release in September 13, 2017, the band announced that Miguel "Meegs" Rascón (formerly of Coal Chamber) joined the band,[11] replacing both Daniel Sahagún and Charles Lee Salvaggio.[12]
In August 2018, the group performed throughout the United States with American rock band Messer.[13]
On December 17, 2019, the band released a video announcing a new album and that the first single is expected to be released early in 2020.[14]
On July 23, 2021, the band announced their third album 3rd Degree - The Raising to be released on October 15, 2021. The album will feature the three previously released singles, "Die With Me," "IDK," and "Reintegration," along with a newly released single "Abandoned."[15]
