The announcement is not official, but you can expect it to come sometime this weekend. A new comic from
Tony Lee and JK Woodward called Omerta is coming out and it looks to combine Lovecraft and classic film noir (there goes the project I’ve been working on the past year). Check out the teaser. READ MORE

But in the end, these were albums that disappointed on a great many levels. Check ‘em out below.

[Review] Adrenaline Mob Omertá
Comprised of some of the most talented musicians in the rock/metal scene, Adrenaline Mob has a lot going for it. After all, it’s Mike Portnoy (ex-drummer of Dream Theater), Russell Allen (singer of Symphony X), John Moyer (bassist of Disturbed), and guitarist Mike Orlando. With that kind of line-up, you gotta wonder what the final product is going to sound like. Dream Theater and Symphony X? Hell yeah! It’s gonna be some intense prog metal! But wait, Disturbed? So, it’s gonna have some commercial heavy rock appeal? And Mike Orlando, who played with Zakk Wylde and Bumblefoot, which means we’ll likely hear some shredding. 
Is this the final product? Is this the sound that the band delivers? And, ultimately, is it all worth it? Find out below.
