No mainstream hits for these guys, lol... The Metal Supergroup just didn't take off like it should have.
It was Drummer Mike Portnoy's (Dream Theater) first project after finishing up fill-in duties for metal band Avenged Sevenfold. He helped create Adrenaline Mob along with singer Russell Allen (Symphony X) & guitarist Mike Orlando. But it failed to really take off despite the high profile names associated with the band. Bassist John Moyer (Disturbed) & Drummer A.J. Pero (Twisted Sister) would also later become members but tragedy surrounded this band with A.J. Pero dying on tour in 2015 of a heart attack, and then bassist David Zablidowsky dying in an accident when the bands RV was hit by a truck on tour in 2017, also seriously hurting other band members.
Portnoy who was good mates with A.J. Pero would then be asked to fill-in for Pero on drums for Twisted Sister's Final Farewell tour in 2016.
Still enjoy listening to their albums though despite their lack of mainstream success.
