Band members described their home town as a place where "old people retire" such that "it's like the walking dead". Geffen Records, who had recently been acquired by MCA Records, bought the band a spot on the second stage of the 2003 Ozzfest tour. Despite being in contract limbo for quite a while, things were looking up when Geffen indicated they would finance a second album, even putting them on tour with Dope twice in 2004 and recording demos in June with Edsel Dope. They toured with Dope and Motograter in 2004 as part of the American Apathy tour.
In July 2005, Twisted Method went on an "indefinite hiatus" after guitarist Andrew Howard and drummer Ben Goins had quit the band. Howard left because he wanted to be with his family after becoming a father, and Goins "left the band for God".
Andrew Howard was found dead on Friday afternoon of September 16, 2005. He was only 23 years old. Over four years after his passing, his death still remains unsolved. Remaining Twisted Method members, Derrick Tribbett and Derek DeSantis formed a new metal group named MakeShift Romeo.
Aside from Makeshift Romeo, vocalist Derrick "Tripp" Tribbett is filling in on bass for Dope, and bassist Derek DeSantis has joined the band EkoTren, who is currently on tour with Ill Nino. Tribbett also recorded solo material under the name Sinister and collaborated with John Rich.

Twisted Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I have is hate for everything.
I'll clinch my fist if you insist.
Show you every reason I exist.
So what, so what the fuck you want?
Apologies up front?
Yeah right we fight to let it out, blow.
I want it right now, revegence is a must.
I see you blow me off I've had e-fucking-nough
Of this pain and this bullshit
'cause that's just what it is
I'm getting fucking pissed
Nothin ever seems to go my way never, ever, ever, ever
I'd rather sit and suffer than accept these games you play
Stuck I feel as though I'm fucked
Shit out of fucking luck
But I guess I'll deal with it fine whatever, nevermind
You must be fucking blind if you can't see it's killing me!
Everybody from the front to back
Get in the pit and show 'em where you're at
Where the fuck you at?
Right here right here
WHERE THE FUCK YOU AT?!?
I can feel the thickness of your pain
And I want to wish it all away
You inject filth to excite your brain
I can feel it in your shallow veins.
Please just shut your fucking face
It's just a fucking phase.
Go away give me some space.
Go you need to go home
Leave me the fuck alone
I can't deal with your shit!
Whatever, nevermind!
You must be fucking blind if you can't see it's killing me!
[Chorus]
Is there any place that's fit for me?
Anywhere that we can go?
It seems that they have taken everything
Sacrifice the ones who stood alone.
We can't let them get away with this
No we can't let this go.
'cause right now it's time for punishment.
And I know I'm not alone
You got my back!
[Chorus]
