Infest is the second studio album and major-label debut by the American rock band Papa Roach.

Papa Roach toured in 1999; the band had an underground fan base in California.

Due to the underground success of the 1999 demo heard by in house producers Tim & Bob, they started working with the band and eventually got Papa Roach signed to DreamWorks Records.

[14] Though many songs including "Last Resort", "Broken Home", "Revenge", and "Dead Cell" had already been recorded, the band re-recorded them and made some changes to the lyrics.

The closing track "Thrown Away" contains a softer, reggae-inspired version of the song "Tightrope", which starts at about 4:57.

[16] Infest was released in the United States and Canada on April 25, 2000, following radio play of "Last Resort".

Infest was certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA and is Papa Roach's best-selling album to date.
