In the late 1990s, Hestla's band Virgos Merlot was signed to Atlantic Records. After their first release, Signs of a Vacant Soul, he became the touring bassist for Creed after the departure of Brian Marshall.

In 2005, Hestla became the lead vocalist of Dark New Day. Dark New Day released their first full length, Twelve Year Silence later that year. The band's single "Brother" reached #7 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock charts. After touring, Clint Lowery returned to Sevendust and Mclawhorn and Hunt joined Evanescence, causing Dark New Day to disband. Hestla began producing for new and up-and-coming bands. In 2014, he formed a band called A Dark Line. The band released their debut EP called Running From The Light in 2015, available for download only. References
