questionmark

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.

Enjoy, kiddies…

    Mutiny Within. Will the tour pass through DC?

    • Procrastinate

      Yep. (To the MU thing, at least.)

      • Uglymicrowave

        defintly mutiny within…there the only band with a debut for 2010 on roadrunner…. and the singer is from england

    • http://dgmetal.org The Daily Grind (RIP)

      Yeah, that was pretty easy. Could you have been a bit more creatively deceptive?

  • Procrastinate

    TO THE ROADRUNNER RECORDS WEBSTE!

  • Philo Betto

    Mutiny Within

  • bill

    Attack attack!

    • Facebook User

      We can only hope.

    • cougar party

      don’t jinx it.

  • timmah

    mutiny within

  • Dysenteric

    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…

  • John

    keyboards=no care ever

    • Wyzt

      Uh, Nocturnus?

      • John

        Nope, don’t care

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

    It’s gotta be Mutiny Within… http://www.myspace.com/mutinywithin

  • http://www.adrenalinepr.com Natalie

    Mutiny Within. Am I allowed to play?

  • F

    But Mutiny Within has two guitarists, and this interview says the band only has one?

    • poopsmcgee

      correct. i like the guy who linked their myspace, where it says that theres two…

      • poopsmcgee

        also, they suck.

      • F

        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.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

          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.

    • Slaughterhouse

      “How many guitar players in your band?

      Two.”

      • poopsmcgee

        LOLZ he fixed it!

        • Slaughterhouse

          Lol…I must have got here late then!

    • http://www.segadriven.com Hairyman

      What are you on about:

      “How many guitar players in your band?

      Two.”

      • F

        Haha, they must’ve fixed that question!

        Lmfao.

  • Tom

    Mutiny within, This Or the Apocalypse, Thy Will Be Done and one more band.

  • http://www.vadercabinets.com Tim-o-tato

    Since, I know peeps….I am guessing it is a Soulfly headlining tour with Prong, Cattle Decapitation, and finally Mutiny Within!!!!
    ++++1?!?!?!!? lol

    • poopsmcgee

      that tour has already started

      • http://www.vadercabinets.com Tim-o-tato

        You might be right about that….lol

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Hulsey/653830783 David Hulsey

          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.

  • Joe

    Mutiny Within, Periphery, This or the Apocalypse, Thy Will be Done

    • Slaughterhouse

      I was gonna say Periphery

      • Strapping Young Lad

        I hope Periphery is on this tour. they’re too fucking good!

  • Dysenteric

    > “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.

  • RomuluXX

    Gotta be Mutiny Within, as they have a WWE theme song clip on their page. Maybe their 2 guitarists play one giant guitar together?

  • msv81

    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.

    • We Eat Cripples

      Only good band i heard there was Cattle Decapitation

  • Myke

    That’s an easy one mutiny within when are these dudes releasing their album

    • matt

      2010

  • FuckYourGayEmoHaircut

    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?

    • PD

      Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Wikipedia that.

  • Carnage

    Soulfly_Cattle Decapitation_Prong_Mutiny Within tour…..sorry to ruin the mystery

    • msv81

      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.

    • stu1

      You’re as sharp as a thimble.

    • We Eat Cripples

      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

  • jason

    “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.”

    • Nate L.

      lol good logic

      i agree that this tour is shaping up to be awesome [/sarcasm]

      • We Eat Cripples

        agreed…i mean roadrunner signed nickelback wtf?!

        • xBEARFIGHTx

          I know man. the last nickleback album was so chocked full 808′s and breakdowns.
          I just couldn’t get into it.

  • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/62449cbe5ea8d22bcc2e76890fceaa37.png Lord Bling

    MS, you said all four bands are AWESOME. Mutiny Within are NOT awesome.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Trip-Cahouet/706361037 Trip Cahouet

    Machine Head, Mushroomhead, Periphery and Mutiny Within

    • msv81

      MH is only playing one U.S. show this year.

    • Nate

      LOL mushroom head. This tour is supposed to be good, hombre.

      • kuntanimated

        Mushroomhead = one word

        Machine Head = MH = two words.

        Nice job at realizing.

  • The M_F Beard

    Machine Head, Periphery, and Mushroomhead

    Ruined it.

    The dates are on Mutiny Within’s site.

    Sowwy.

    • The M_F Beard

      Also, when you say four awesome bands, do you actually mean two ? MH & Periphery… ?

      • msv81

        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.

  • Master Chah

    “read his or her interview, then try to guess which band he’s from!”
    r0lf…or am i incorrect?

  • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

    This is gonna suck

    • We Eat Cripples

      agreed, screw this tour already!

  • joshkid

    Maybe Machine Head is gonna do a full blown US tour, starting Jan. 2010 And Metalsucks will sponsor that, cool!!!

    • poopsmcgee

      its a fall tour.

  • Nate

    Never heard of mutiny within… But what they have on their myspace is pretty good.

    • poopsmcgee

      you must be deaf.

  • iolanach

    If Chimaira is on this tour, i’m going to kill all you motherfuckers.

    • Nate L.

      bahahaahahaah

    • joshkid

      hey this would be an awesome metalsucks tour:
      Living Colour (headlining)
      Gojira
      God Forbid
      Chimaira

      • We Eat Cripples

        go home

  • Timothy

    these guys are gay. singer should stick to opera

  • Kevin

    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..

  • metal as fuck

    mutiny within

  • Joe the Destroyer

    Slipknot?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

      1

  • SP420

    Mushroomhead? If this is true, I’m done with this site.

    • TXHellbilly

      I 2nd that motion, Mushroomhead fuckin sucks

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    I want to be excited, but i have a feeling im going to be let down.

  • xZakkxSlaughterx

    Mutiny Within, Periphery, This or the Apocalypse, Thy Will be Done

  • Drew

    Its Chimaira…duh?

    • Drew

      I take that back. I forgot about the debut CD part. Chimaira does have 6 members and a keyboardist though

      • poopsmcgee

        not a keyboardist.

  • SourDeez

    You know, it would still qualify as a surprise if you just skipped this bullshit and told us who the bands are.

  • Strapping Young Lad

    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!!

  • Drag

    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.

  • Sin and Death

    Well it ain’t Fiona Apple, and if it ain’t Fiona Apple, I don’t give a rat’s ass.

  • mankvill

    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.

  • Zilch

    first band is a disappointment.

  • DecrystallizingReason

    Machine Head is headlining.

    Mark my words.

  • http://www.citadelbloodbeard.blogspot.com Shanetera

    Dragon Force

  • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

    Crazy Town

    • John

      If there is anything just or good in this world you are right.

  • Mike

    Probably a bunch of shitty metalcore bands.

  • Noel

    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!

  • Failure

    I don’t fucking care.

  • bearwizard

    I hate to be the party pooper but every band on this yet to be announced tour sucks.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

    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.

  • Alcohol

    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.

    • http://www.twitter.com/stabitha Stabitha C.

      Really? I wouldn’t picture Thy Will Be Done headlining anything just yet.

      • Alcohol

        Who said that they are headlining?

  • http://www.segadriven.com Hairyman

    Anybody else noticed that the new tagline has “1293th” in it?

    1293rd. Seriously guys. Proof-read your shit.

    • You Suck

      Yeah I was gonna point it out too but thought eh fuck ‘em no one’s gonna even care.

    • joshkid

      That’s why they wrote it…

  • http://www.twitter.com/stabitha Stabitha C.

    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.

  • Psyco

    ive seen them play in backyards and shit years ago. not to stoked about them

  • did you just piss on my xbox?

    keyboards

    booooooooo

  • Tuhdeh

    ahahahaha Mutiny Within is the gayest shit ever

  • F

    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.

  • Cornrow Wallace

    This tour already sucks.
