MOD, also known as Method of Destruction, is a crossover/thrash band from New York, USA, formed in 1986 by vocalist Billy Milano following the dissolution of Milano’s previous act, Stormtroopers of Death, also known as SOD. The band’s first, and most well-known album, «USA for MOD» was produced by Scott Ian (also of SOD) and featured a number of songs originally meant for SOD. Milano has kept the band going on and off over the years, and is the only musician featured on every release. In recent years, he has joked that MOD stands for «Milano’s on Drugs».
