Adrenaline Mob - Men of Honor

Alright folks, the Adrenaline Mob is back with vengeance.  The four piece power group have gained a new member and in perfect time for their sophomore release "Men of Honor".  Sadly, we saw the departure of original drummer Mike Portnoy to continue his ongoing work with Flying Colours, as well as main focus Winery Dogs.  That being said, I think AM did a great job at recruiting Twisted Sister drummer A.J. Pero (who oddly enough I just noticed looks a lot like Jon Favreau during his stint on Friends).  A better fit to get someone a little more seasoned in the music world than a new young drummer coming into their own.  So moving on to the album, "Men of Honor".  The album name came from an unlikely source, as Mike Orlando explains in an excerpt below:

"My dad came up with the title, believe it or not.  We were thinking about names for the record.  And he said, 'Why don't you guys call it Uomini D'onore [Translaton - Men of Honor]?'  I knew that was it.  We're tight like brothers.  This is a musical gang.  The message is to stand string with Adrenaline Mob.  Regardless of what's changed, we are men of honor, and we will honor this entity until we die." -Orlando

"ADRENALINE MOB featuring Russell Allen, Mike Orlando, John Moyer, and new drummer A.J Pero have signed a North American deal with Century Media which connects with their existing ex U.S deal with the label to create a worldwide pact. The initial release in this deal will be the band's second full length album, MEN OF HONOR, which will be released February 18 in North America and February 24 internationally." -Century Media Records

A fury of an opening track that would rival the likes of "Eruption" from Van Halen, check out the debut single "Mob Is Back" which showcases new drummer A.J. Pero and his no bullshit double kickers.  It also of course showcases Mike Orlando and his signature guitar solos that made Adrenaline Mob what they are today.



The album features 11 new Allen/Orlando original songs and was produced by Allen and Orlando & mixed & mastered by Mike Orlando. The band will stream a track a week each week, every Tuesday  starting with album opener "The Mob is Back", leading up to the release of the album." -Century Media Records

So working hard to promote the sophomore album, the group have already jumped on another single streaming the net waves.  Check out "Come On Get Up" below:



"I want everyone who listens to this to feel psyched.  I want them to get excited about watching us kick ass live.  At the end of the day, we're a live band.  The album conveys that.  I think it's going to leave everybody with a variety of emotions, and there's nothing better than getting a reaction." -Orlando



"I locked myself in my studio for three weeks and brought Russell 13 ideas afterwards.  We had a really clear visions this time around.  OMERTÀ was material I had been working on for a long while.  I knew exactly where the band had to go here.  It came from playing live and seeing the reactions from the audience.  Everything we love to do musically is on this album.  It's real, heavy, and melodic hard rock." -Orlando



More tracks to be released in the following weeks.  Cheers!
