”A Study in Coordinated Whiplash” wrote The New York Times October 2008, after one of SHINING’s pounding concerts in Manhattan. Mission accomplished on Mutiny Within: 13 songs that usher in a new generation of metal. We were a band that aspired to get a deal and make records, so we made the focus should be of efforts be the songs.” We made every song as special as the next. We played 30 shows with Chris and then got signed. The focus for us was always just writing songs.
“Most bands get in a van, go out, play, tour, tour, tour,” Jacobs said. “Two guys dropped their lives in England and didn’t know if it would work, since we weren’t even signed at the time, but it means so much to us and we had that dedication to do it.”Ĭertainly, Mutiny Within aren’t a traditional band, having used technology and the Internet to their benefit and thus forcing the band to work in different ways. “We dedicated our whole lives to this,” Jacobs said. It appears as though the Mutiny Within story is just beginning and that the ins and outs of their formation lead to a happy ending, so to speak. Jacobs says that “Forsaken” is the song where “we stepped outside the box to show a different side of the band, with clean guitars.” The opening track “Awake” is one which defines the band’s sound, with Jacobs saying, “we get more diverse, different keys, tempos and styles throughout, but that’s the song that defines what we sound,” while “Reflections” is another band favorite, thanks to its unforgettable melodies.
