In 2004, Keith and Brian left, replaced by Adam and Matt, and the group began writing. After circulating home demos, they signed with Crash Music Inc. on 3 February 2006.
Their debut album, *The Volume of Self*, came out on 13 June 2006, again produced by Logan Mader. The video for the single "The Abrasive" was directed by Danny Roew in Hollywood.

Lore & Background
Twin Method was formed in 2001 by Deen Dean, Jason Potticary and brothers Keith and Brian Hill, later joined by Ioannis Lamberti. The band played UK shows including the Medication UK Tour in 2001 and recorded an industry promotional EP 'Adjust and Control' produced by Logan Mader, whom they met on that tour.

Their debut album, The Volume of Self, was released on 13 June 2006, also produced by Logan Mader. The music video for the single 'The Abrasive' was directed by Danny Roew in Hollywood. Twin Method toured with Medication, Drowning Pool on their 2006 US tour, American Head Charge on their 2006 European Occupation Tour, SOiL, Type O Negative, Five Finger Death Punch, Bloodsimple, and in 2007 they were part of the Family Values Tour headlined by Korn and Evanescence.

Reader's Guide
Twin Method's significance lies in their brief but active presence in the mid-2000s nu metal scene, particularly through their association with producer Logan Mader and high-profile tours. Their debut album, The Volume of Self, was released in 2006 on Crash Music Inc., and the single 'The Abrasive' received a music video directed in Hollywood. The band toured extensively with notable acts including Drowning Pool, American Head Charge, and Type O Negative, and participated in the 2007 Family Values Tour alongside Korn and Evanescence. Despite these achievements, Twin Method disbanded in early 2009 before completing a second album, leaving only one official album and an unreleased earlier album, Adjust Then Control, from 2003. Their legacy is that of a Liverpool-based nu metal group that gained national and international exposure through touring and a major-label debut, but ultimately did not sustain momentum beyond their first album.
