Biography

“Keep it heavy, keep it fast and keep it clever. Never pace to anything. It is an active record.” That’s how bassist Andrew “AJ” Jacobs, the sole founding member, effectively encapsulated what Mutiny Within and their self-titled debut are about. The resulting album, Mutiny Within, is the culmination of years of figuring it out, getting it together and finally making it work and it’s all manifested in an album that is almost shocking in its technical prowess and its use of melody amid maelstrom.

Jacobs can sum up Mutiny Within’s sound as “shred with clean vocals, with a little bit of screaming, metal riffs, accessible parts and a lot of melody. We wanted to get all the melody in there. That is the number one thing for us. We want the music to reach metal fans and beyond. We want to reach everyone in between.”

While these metal upstarts Mutiny Within may have started out as a Children of Bodom cover band – and they’re not embarrassed to admit it since they did grow out of it quickly only to become their own shred-happy entity- the sextet truly stepped on the path to recognition when they started writing their own songs. With origins in the great state of New Jersey, known for producing some of the top, up and coming metal talent in recent years, Mutiny Within also demonstrated their ability to remain ahead of the curve by embracing technology (and we’re not talking about the studio trickery kind) and social networking features to take their band to the next level.

    The first album had an overall better vibe but Synchronicity still kicks ass. They just need the keyboard elements from the first album and they would be set.

    VV Yeah. Let's hope they rekindle that progressiveness for the next album. I still enjoyed this new one though for what it was.

    "I will agree that the debut is better. It had a more progressive edge, while this is more straight up Metalcore-esque" The DEBUT is MILES Better. This new album just isn't even close.

    Bryce of Heartist needs to get in touch with Mutiny Within in hopes of getting that band touring again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxfezxNVxdk Just listen. Someone needs to make this happen. Now.

    I will agree that the debut is better. It had a more progressive edge, while this is more straight up Metalcore-esque. But it's still awesome, and for being Metalcore, it's WAY above the standards for the genre.

    the new album is good, but it still doesn't beat the debut. my disappointment is that the album lacks the original speed that their debut had.

    New album is weak pussy shit. "Keep it heavy, keep it fast and keep it clever." says the bio on this page. I guess they forgot all that.

    I think "Embers" was a weak opener (compared to "Awake" anyways). It didn't get me goin' or gain my interest.

    I want to emphasize that the clean vocals sound very worthy!
