ADRENALINE MOB members Russell Allen (vocals; also of SYMPHONY X)
and Mike Orlando (guitar) are in the studio recording material for their
sophomore album, tentatively due in early 2014. Orlando states:
"Day 2 of tracking vocals with fellow mobster Russell Allen for the
new ADRENALINE MOB album is complete! Two and a half more weeks of
tracking left then it's time to wrap it up. Stay tuned ...because the best is
yet to come!"
Drummer Mike Portnoy (FLYING COLORS, THE WINERY
DOGS, DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD) quit ADRENALINE
MOB in June due to "scheduling conflicts." A replacement drummer
has not yet been announced.
In a recent interview with Brazil's "Wikimetal", Allen
stated about Portnoy's departure from ADRENALINE MOB: "He's
been, obviously, real busy with THE WINERY DOGS. The truth of it is we
wanna keep working, we wanna keep doing ADRENALINE MOB and we don't
wanna wait around for Mike to have the time [to put into ADRENALINE
MOB]. And he doesn't know when he will have the time again, so
that's really what's going down. Mike Portnoy was asked to be in the
band by myself. Me and Orlando had already written all the material, so
[ADRENALINE MOB's debut album] 'Omertá' was completely finished
before Mike joined the act. And it's a bummer, but he's got his sights
on other things, and he's not gonna stick around. So we wish him the best of
luck, but the MOB's gotta go on."
ADRENALINE MOB's
most recent touring lineup also included DISTURBED bassist John Moyer.
ADRENALINE MOB
released "Covertá", an eight-track EP featuring cover versions
of some of the group's favorite songs, on March 12.
