Hard-hitting heavy metal outfit Adrenaline Mob formed in 2011 around the talents of drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold), guitarists Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp) and Rich Ward (Stuck Mojo), vocalist Russell Allen (Symphony X), and bassist Paul DiLeo. Employing a melodic, straightforward approach to the genre that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Black Label Society, Hellyeah, and Disturbed, Adrenaline Mob's eponymous debut EP, which featured a cover of the Black Sabbath classic “Mob Rules,” was released on August 9, 2011.
