Released in 2017, ‘We the People’ is the third studio album by American groove metal band Adrenaline Mob. Following on from previous outings, it’s full of massive-sounding, energetic, fist-pumping anthems of a very high standard. While the band was originally considered a supergroup when they first formed (they still are, somewhat…), it’s pretty obvious by this point that the core of the band is vocalist Russell Allen (of Symphony X fame), and guitarist Mike Orlando.

Not that that’s a bad thing, as these two have fantastic writing chemistry. Orlando’s absolutely furious guitar playing is insane, and Allen has one of the most incredible voices ever. Sounding extremely “metal”, yet able to drop emotion in on a whim, both of their styles fit really well.

As for the music, yeah, it’s pretty similar to everything they’ve released before, but why fix what isn’t broken? It’s heavy, groovy and melodic, and an amazing production gives it the massive, beefy sound that it deserves. Highlights include ‘King of the Ring’, ‘Raise ‘Em Up’, ‘We the People’, ‘The Killer’s Inside’, ‘Bleeding Hands’ and ‘Chasing Dragons’, but, to be honest, the whole album is just brimming with bangers, and each track flows into the next effortlessly.

Overall, ‘We the People’ is another fantastic record by one of the most underrated metal bands of the 2010’s. Everything about this album, from the songs, the production, even the artwork and the imagery, all fall perfectly into place, and if you like your music heavy (and you’d better, if you’re listening to this), then this is definitely an album worth owning.
