In mid-March 2012, the debut album "Omerta" by the band ADRENALINE MOB was released. The musical mafia consists of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater/Avenged Sevenfold), Symphony X vocalist Russell Allen, Sonic Stomp shredder Mike Orlando, and bassist John Moyer (Disturbed).
The idea for ADRENALINE MOB originated in 2007 during the joint European tour of Symphony X and Dream Theater when Portnoy and Allen got to know each other better.
"This is a new band with a new sound! It's a fresh start!" said Portnoy.
Forget what each individual has done in the past. I appreciate the last 25 years with DREAM THEATER and enjoy looking back, but it's time to open a new chapter. It's similar to Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. It's a fresh start - that's how I see it."
Starting at the end of June, the European tour will also take them to Germany five times with a total of 23 stops. You can see the dates here:
25.06.12 Aschaffenburg, Colos-Saal
