(Method of Destruction) was a hardcore / thrash band formed in 1986 by vocalist Billy Milano after the disbandment of crossover pioneers S.O.D. Their first album, ."U.S.A. For M.O.D.", was produced by S.O.D./Anthrax guitar player Scott Ian. The intended irony of M.O.D.'s lyrics and the music is a pattern that Milano and company follow in an effort to make the music humorous, entertaining and also a critical to the power, the system and money. In this regard, the band followed in the footsteps of S.O.D., with intentionally politically incorrect, humorous lyrics. Nonetheless, some felt they honestly became increasingly right-wing. Milano's later lyrical content concentrates more on making fun of left-wing extremists such as Michael Moore for his weight and Rage Against The Machine for making money in the music business.

2) The M.O.D. (MaryHell Oxygen Destroyer) are an italian duo ( MARYHELL and ANGIE VHELENA). They combine ebm sonority and the experimental electronic. Their sound is full of melodies and it is enriched with a sweet singing. At the same time they are aggressive, for giving the correct emphasis to the the lyrics of the songs.
On 2009, they self-produce their first demo " Entzweit Gesicht ", (with three unpublished songs and one cover of the english band Athamay ), that is receiving positive reviews from various specialized webzines and that they continue to promote through radio and fanzine interviews. Some of the tracks released in the demo have been inserted in different online compilations.
Recently, they have collaborated for a book on tape entitled "Franklin City" of CA Hobson, composing the song "Freaks" expressly for that project, that has been published and distributed in the United States.
They win the “ Revelation Band” award at GBGB Rock Contest 2011.
2nd at the regional final of the Gothic Room Contest 2011, they have opened the No More live , the german band from Kiel that in 1981 played "Suicide Commando", an international underground hit.

M.O.D. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Billy Milano,
I'm a bold courageous man.
He is, he is, yes, yes, he is.
A knight without armour in a bold savage land.
He is, he is, yes, yes, he is.
I protect all fair maidens and damsels in distress.
He does, he does, yes, yes, he does.
I'll try and comfort you, but first take off your dress.

You're good, you're good, oh so, so good.
I'm lean, mean cruel, obscene, not only am I Elvis.
Sometimes I'm James Dean.
We are M.O.D. and we are on Megaforce. (Jon Z).
Not just a record label, a guiding light - we're never lost. (Jon Z).
Jon and Marsha manage,
Jeff and Leslie book our shows. (Jon Z).
We write the songs and play the town and make friends on the road. (Marsha screaching).
I'm lean, mean cruel, obscene, not only am I Elvis.
Sometimes I'm James Dean.
I'm lean, mean cruel, obscene, not only am I Elvis.
Sometimes I'm James Dean.

I'm Billy Milano, I'm a bold courageous man.
He is, he is, yes, yes, he is.
A knight without armour in a bold savage land.
He is, he is, yes, yes, he is.
I protect all fair maidens and damsels in distress.
He does, he does, yes, yes, he does.
I'll try and comfort you, but first take off your dress.
You're good, you're good, oh so, so good.
I'm lean, mean cruel, obscene, not only am I Elvis.
Sometimes I'm James Dean. (... And Tom Cruise).

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.O.D.'s Theme Song are a playful and humorous description of lead singer Billy Milano's tough-guy persona. He portrays himself as a bold, courageous knight in a savage land, protecting damsels in distress and looking out for his bandmates. However, his machismo is undercut by his admission that he also has a soft, sensitive side - he offers to comfort a woman but immediately asks her to take off her dress. Milano also likens himself to two iconic Hollywood stars, Elvis Presley and James Dean, emphasizing his cool, rebellious image.

The lyrics also mention the band's association with Megaforce Records and their managers, Jon and Marsha Zazula, as well as their booking agents, Jeff and Leslie. Overall, the Theme Song is a lighthearted and self-referential anthem that celebrates M.O.D.'s tough-guy image and their place in the metal world.
