Shuck found his first major mainstream success as a founding member of the Los Angeles band Orgy. The band, which also consisted of the other two founders Jay Gordon (vocals) and Amir Derakh (guitar, g-synth) and also Paige Haley (bass) and Bobby Hewitt (drums), was eventually signed by Korn to their Warner Bros. Records imprint, Elementree Records. Dubbed "death-pop," Orgy blended electronic music with modern alternative rock at a time when the rest of popular music was dominated by grunge bands. Orgy, who had been lovingly described by some magazines as "The Cure on cocaine," went on to sell over three million records, receive platinum awards, and hit top positions in the Billboard charts, giving Shuck a taste of real music industry success and massive MTV and radio exposure.
