METAL HAMMER: 8/10

In the October edition of Metal Hammer they had this to say about TM's new release "The Volume Of Self"......

8/10

"Cripes! When it counts Liverpool's Twin Method grind with the best. But they've also learnt a few tricks that'll widen their appeal: cherobic choral chunks and touches of fistful songs, the sort that pack such a punch you'd want them next to you in a street fight. Think American headcharge, Mudvayne, Fear Factory and massive attack and you are close to the truth. Throw all these into the world's biggest blender and.....well, most of the time you'd get a messy gunk. But in a one-in-a-million shot you'll have Twin Method. It all makes sense on 'Pedigree','Defeated' and 'The Abrasive'. World-class songs, mixing beach bum riffs with Beach boys harmonies and even a hint of Opeth quality musicianship. Be proud that the 'Method are British - but also wonder why they had to hightail to America to get noticed."

LIVERPOOL TO LOS ANGELES

On the 23rd of January 2006 Yan from Twin Method flew over to Los Angeles for a week. He spent 3 days at Audio Lab Studios with Logan Mader (who now has short hair after chopping his dreds off) putting the final mastering process and finishing touches to the album. It was good to see Logan again after nearly a year.
" Logan was looking sharp with his new style and his studio has developed almost as much as his production skills". Yan also met up with Andrew Goodfriend (TKO Agency), Shawn Barusch (Hollowpoint mgmt) and Mark Nawara (Crash Music) and discussed the future of Twin Method.

GIGWISE.COM - REVIEW @ BARFLY

" Twin Method are so natural and the crowd love them. The music is clever and songs like ‘Flawless' have a good balance of Electronica and Metal. The unusual line up of having two vocalists works really well. With soaring vocals of Yan accompanied by Jason's aggressive vocals create an interesting combination. " - Gigwise.com
