This album is more like Pantera Groove Metal rather then Dream Theater Progressive Rock/Metal. Singer Russell Allen (Symphony X) and his (super) band mates delivered a quite heavy album full of nervous guitar riffs and raging grooves, classic, but biting and looking forward kind of, hate to say this, but no other proper word, True Metal. Progressive, Groove and some Southern taste like elements are merging perfectly here. Russell Allen had some royal partners in this project: drummer Mike Portnoy (Ex-Dream Theater), guitarist Mike Orlando (previously worked with Zakk Wylde and Bumblefoot), bass player Paul DiLeo (Fozzy), and rhythm guitarist Rich Ward (Stuck Mojo/Fozzy). Meanwhile DiLeo and Ward left the project due to scheduling conflicts with their other bands and on February 8, 2012, John Moyer (Disturbed) became Adrenaline Mob’s new bass player.
With a logo inspired by the American television drama, “The Sopranos” and kicking out with a YouTube video of a cover version of the Black Sabbath classic “The Mob Rules” on June 27, 2011 to promote the band, Adrenaline Mob delivered a 5 track debut EP last year including “Psychosane”, “Believe Me”, “Hit The Wall”, “Down To The Floor” and “The Mob Rules”.
The Ronnie James Dio era Black Sabbath and the modern Pantera and Groove Metal sound and riffing melting into a powerful and breathing Modern and Progressive Metal oriented, but heavy… Metal.
The album including a quite interesting Duran Duran cover: Come Undone.
