Editorial Reviews

Boston’s HELL WITHIN is an aggressive, street-tough metal/hardcore outfit, one part SLAYER, one part HATEBREED, all parts honest. Originally formed in 1998 under the name TWYTCH, the powerhouse immediately created a huge buzz in the New England metal scene, sharing the stage with established acts such as SHADOWS FALL, HAT EBRE ED, SWORN ENEMY , DI S TURBED, CANDIRIA a n d DI E CAS T . TWYTCH released its self-titled debut album in 2001, followed by the Hatred EP in 2003; both releases increased the outfit’s profile in the region. After extensive touring throughout New England and the East Coast, TWYTCH started fresh by changing its name and sound. Newly titled HELL WITHIN and complemented by a more brutal, technical, and abrasive direction, it wasn’t long before LIFEFORCE RECORDS signed the band. HELL WITHIN’s second album and Lifeforce debut, Asylum Of The Human Predator,wa s recorded with John Ellis at Prism Sound Studio (TRIBE OF JUDAH, GODSMACK), mixed by highly acclaimed Zeuss (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL) and mastered by Alan Douches (GOD FORBID, UNEARTH). Asylum Of The Human Predator appeals to a spectrum of metal and hardcore, somewhere between death, thrash and hardcore. Be prepared to be crushed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore Melodic Metal, April 28, 2005

Hell Within sounds like one part Lamb of God, with some Unearth guitar work, Shadows Fall tempo and a bit of Killswitch Engage melody at times. This a very aggressive and heavy cd that any hardcore fan should like. \m/\m/

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Massachusetts metal, May 3, 2005

These guys are awesome. I actually took Drivers Ed (when I lived in Groton MA, took the class in Townsend) and their drummer was my teacher (Bubba). He was a wicked cool dude with a bunch of wild stories and some crazy antics. Check out his double bass work, besides being a good drivers ed teacher he's a damn good drummer. Their current singer has just started out about 2 and a half years ago. The band (then Twytch) was looking for a singer that would accompany their hardcore music. He does a good job. None of the sounds on this album sound the same. They all got a nice variety with some good hardcore, melodious riffs mixed in. Fans of other Massachusetts bands (shadows fall, Killswitch Engage) should give these guys a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just "Another" metal band, August 30, 2005

I can honestly say, not many bands have touched me in the way that Hell Within have. The music the band creates is not only gut wrenchingly heavy, but also very melodic. Being a fan of Hell Within since there local, unsigned days (as Twytch), I can say that I am proud to see another Mass. based band do something right. The music on this album ranges in topics, dealing with issues such as the molestations in the Catholic Church (Asylum of the Human Predator), the war in Iraq (Merchants of the Blood Trade), to personal demons (Swallow the Stitches). While listening to this album, it really opens your eyes and makes you look at the world in another perspective, it gives you things to think about that you may not have previously had a whole opinion on.

Great album, in my opinion, a must own for any true fan, or just someone looking for a great album to add to there collection.

P.S.
If by some chance you can get one of the Limited Edition discs with a DVD (First Pressing only)look for me in the moshpit during the video for Self Inflicted Silence (Big red haired guy in a Marilyn Manson shirt). The Video was filmed in 2003 (while the band was still known as Twytch) at the Locobazooka Festival at the Fitchburg Airport in Fitchburg, Mass.
