M.O.D.
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOD : M.O.D.
M.O.D. (Method of Destruction) was formed by Billy Milano after the disbandment of Hardcore Thrash/Crossover band S.O.D. in 1986. The first album, MOD for USA, was produced by SOD/Anthrax guitar player Scott Ian. The band followed in the footsteps of SOD with politically incorrect, humorous lyrics but some felt they became increasingly pro right-wing. Milano's later lyrical content concentrates more on making fun of left-wing icons such as Michael Moore for his weight problem and Rage Against the Machine for making money in the music business.
The humor yet serious nature of the songs is considered by fans to be excellent entertainment. For example, The Rebel You Love to Hate, an album released on Nuclear Blast Records in 2003, has a single called "Wigga". The lyrical content of the song makes fun of white teenagers who rap and embrace a sub-culture that is not their own by ironically adopting hip-hop beats and parodying white rappers like Vanilla Ice. The hypocrisy of the lyrics and the music is a pattern that Milano and company follow in an effort to make the music humorous, entertaining, and not necessarily to be taken seriously.
