METALSUCKS MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT, DAY 1
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 at 5:00pm by MetalSucks
Okay, so here’s the deal: MetalSucks is sponsoring an AWESOME tour this winter. And when we say “AWESOME,” we mean AWESOME. We’re so stoked. We can’t wait to tell you which bands are playing.
The thing is, we can’t. Not yet.
We can tell you that a) there are four bands on the bill, and b) they are all, as we said, friggin’ AWESOME.
The full tour announcement is coming this Monday, October 12. In the meantime, to get you all hot n’ bothered, we’ve conducted a interview with a member of each band, providing them with questions designed to help you guess who they are without spoiling the surprise. Today we present the first interview, with the first band on the bill, natch. After the jump, read his or her interview, then try to guess which band he’s from! Tomorrow we’ll present the interview with second band on the bill, Thursday the third band, and Friday the headliners, before making the official announcement on Monday.

Thanks for playing along, mystery guest. Please tell us one another random fact of your choosing that might help our readers guess who you are.
We recently recorded a theme song for a WWE wrestler.
So… any guesses, oh ye MetalSucks Faithful?
-AR & VN
Mutiny Within. Will the tour pass through DC?
Yep. (To the MU thing, at least.)
defintly mutiny within…there the only band with a debut for 2010 on roadrunner…. and the singer is from england
Yeah, that was pretty easy. Could you have been a bit more creatively deceptive?
TO THE ROADRUNNER RECORDS WEBSTE!
Mutiny Within
Attack attack!
We can only hope.
don’t jinx it.
mutiny within
I’m guessing Mutiny Within.
I’m guessing MW because I vaguely remember some British kid getting the vocalist role last year. This may be completely wrong…
keyboards=no care ever
Uh, Nocturnus?
Nope, don’t care
It’s gotta be Mutiny Within… http://www.myspace.com/mutinywithin
Mutiny Within. Am I allowed to play?
But Mutiny Within has two guitarists, and this interview says the band only has one?
correct. i like the guy who linked their myspace, where it says that theres two…
also, they suck.
So, which band is it then? I honestly can’t find any band on RR that has two words in their moniker, only one guitarist and keyboards.
One of the songs on their MySpace has a WWE theme song uploaded, there’s 6 members, they have a 2 word moniker, and a keyboardist. Sounds right to me.
“How many guitar players in your band?
Two.”
LOLZ he fixed it!
Lol…I must have got here late then!
What are you on about:
“How many guitar players in your band?
Two.”
Haha, they must’ve fixed that question!
Lmfao.
Mutiny within, This Or the Apocalypse, Thy Will Be Done and one more band.
Since, I know peeps….I am guessing it is a Soulfly headlining tour with Prong, Cattle Decapitation, and finally Mutiny Within!!!!
++++1?!?!?!!? lol
that tour has already started
You might be right about that….lol
I just printed my ticket for the Dayton show next week. I’m actually going for Mutiny (Within) as they are friends of mine AND they fucking shred. Should be a hoot. Maybe a holler…but I’m keeping my expectations low.
Mutiny Within, Periphery, This or the Apocalypse, Thy Will be Done
I was gonna say Periphery
I hope Periphery is on this tour. they’re too fucking good!
> “We recently recorded a theme song for a WWE wrestler.”
Just checked on their MySpace. That wrestler is Evan Bourne. And what I said about that British kid doing the vocals is correct:
> Mutiny’s search for the right frontman brought them to the UK where demos from former With Intent
> vocalist Chris Clancy deemed him “most likely to end up in a metal band from New Jersey”.
New Jersey and England, see. Perfect fit or not, I think Mutiny Within is the best guess.
In passing, Mutiny Within are rubbish. The clean vocals are terrible.
Gotta be Mutiny Within, as they have a WWE theme song clip on their page. Maybe their 2 guitarists play one giant guitar together?
It’s definitely Mutiny Within, even though their myspace says they have two guitarists and the interview says they have one; maybe they dropped a guy?
Anyhow, all the information is on their myspace; the first song on the player is WWE’s Evan Bourne Theme (as stated in the interview), and the band is promoting their upcoming tour with Soulfly, Cattle Decapitation, and Prong (too bad MetalSucks isn’t sponsoring THAT tour!)
The later dates, beginning in November, include Periphery and This Or The Apocalypse.
Only good band i heard there was Cattle Decapitation
That’s an easy one mutiny within when are these dudes releasing their album
2010
The only halfway decent band that has EVER recorded a theme for a wrestler (besides Motorhead) is Story of the year, but that can’t be it…can it?
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Wikipedia that.
Soulfly_Cattle Decapitation_Prong_Mutiny Within tour…..sorry to ruin the mystery
That tour begins tonight, we would have been informed sooner of it. Doesn’t make any sense for them to tell us on Monday when 4 shows on the tour will have already been played.
You’re as sharp as a thimble.
I hope that’s not the mystery tour that sucks! Mutiny Within looks gay, i don’t like soulfly or Prong. Cattle Decapitation is good tho
“We can tell you that a) there are four bands on the bill, and b) they are all, as we said, friggin’ AWESOME.”
Well…
A) They’re on Roadrunner
B) They did a theme for a wrestler
That’s two strikes guys….not looking “friggin’ awesome.”
lol good logic
i agree that this tour is shaping up to be awesome [/sarcasm]
agreed…i mean roadrunner signed nickelback wtf?!
I know man. the last nickleback album was so chocked full 808’s and breakdowns.
I just couldn’t get into it.
MS, you said all four bands are AWESOME. Mutiny Within are NOT awesome.
Machine Head, Mushroomhead, Periphery and Mutiny Within
MH is only playing one U.S. show this year.
LOL mushroom head. This tour is supposed to be good, hombre.
Mushroomhead = one word
Machine Head = MH = two words.
Nice job at realizing.
Machine Head, Periphery, and Mushroomhead
Ruined it.
The dates are on Mutiny Within’s site.
Sowwy.
Also, when you say four awesome bands, do you actually mean two ? MH & Periphery… ?
San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD have scheduled a one-off headlining concert on Friday, November 6 at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, New York. Support at the show will come from THY WILL BE DONE, THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE and MUTINY WITHIN.
Commented guitarist Phil Demmel: “We are extremely excited to announce our only U.S headline show this year, and to have it be in New York is going to be insane!!!” Guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn added, “We really felt like doing something special for the U.S. fans to get ready for the Canadian Carnage dates. What better place to do it than with our maniacal fanbase in New York!!!”

Some of the comments are stating venues other than “The Crazy Donkey”, but we can’t be too sure.
“read his or her interview, then try to guess which band he’s from!”
r0lf…or am i incorrect?
This is gonna suck
agreed, screw this tour already!
Maybe Machine Head is gonna do a full blown US tour, starting Jan. 2010 And Metalsucks will sponsor that, cool!!!
its a fall tour.
Never heard of mutiny within… But what they have on their myspace is pretty good.
you must be deaf.
If Chimaira is on this tour, i’m going to kill all you motherfuckers.
bahahaahahaah
hey this would be an awesome metalsucks tour:
Living Colour (headlining)
Gojira
God Forbid
Chimaira
go home
these guys are gay. singer should stick to opera
Lol
Metalsucks failed once again
Muntiny Within ,Machine Head, Periphery, and Mushroomhead if thats the tour you guys just fail….
Come on don’t hype us up for nothing..
mutiny within
Slipknot?
+1
Mushroomhead? If this is true, I’m done with this site.
I 2nd that motion, Mushroomhead fuckin sucks
I want to be excited, but i have a feeling im going to be let down.
Mutiny Within, Periphery, This or the Apocalypse, Thy Will be Done
Its Chimaira…duh?
I take that back. I forgot about the debut CD part. Chimaira does have 6 members and a keyboardist though
not a keyboardist.
You know, it would still qualify as a surprise if you just skipped this bullshit and told us who the bands are.
Not a fan of Mushroom Head, but Machine Head and Periphery are fucking incredible… Mutiny Within sounds pretty cool too, I can def. see myself getting into them. Great vocals!!
The answer is Mutiny Within. Another shitty poppy metal band, that sounds just like In Flames or At The Gates combined with a newer emo band.
Totally unoriginal, totally gay.
Well it ain’t Fiona Apple, and if it ain’t Fiona Apple, I don’t give a rat’s ass.
Ugh. This is gonna be just like the Top 21 Bullshit List. They’re stringing it along as metal, but it’s probably rounded out by Killswitch Engage, Iwrestledabearonce and some other fucking shitty band.
first band is a disappointment.
Machine Head is headlining.
Mark my words.
Dragon Force
Crazy Town
If there is anything just or good in this world you are right.
Probably a bunch of shitty metalcore bands.
is there any chance is has to do with lake bukkakes recently announced tour? what about anal chainsaw? Are they touring together?!? Oh heavens crusty butt, yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait til this tuesday!
I don’t fucking care.
I hate to be the party pooper but every band on this yet to be announced tour sucks.
This is the most unspecific interview ever! Their band does not stand out in any way whatsoever: mixed vocals, mixed style, two guitars, one bass, one drummer, one keyboard-ist = almost any modern band in any country playing any style.
The bands are: Mutiny Within, Periphery, This Or The Apocalypse, Thy Will Be Done
None of these bands are remotely “AWESOME” at all. Massive fail.
Really? I wouldn’t picture Thy Will Be Done headlining anything just yet.
Who said that they are headlining?
Anybody else noticed that the new tagline has “1293th” in it?
1293rd. Seriously guys. Proof-read your shit.
Yeah I was gonna point it out too but thought eh fuck ‘em no one’s gonna even care.
That’s why they wrote it…
I’m going to interrupt this storm of ‘MUTINY WITHIN” to say that your impeccable grammar in the Q portion of this Q&A gives me a ladyboner, A & V. Well done.
ive seen them play in backyards and shit years ago. not to stoked about them
keyboards
booooooooo
ahahahaha Mutiny Within is the gayest shit ever
Why are they refering to this tour as “AWESOME”?
If the first band actually is Mutiny Within, a really shitty band, then those other three bands have got to be like BEYOND AWESOMENESS-good.
This tour already sucks.
