Vocalist Chris Clancy is quite the discovery with a tremendous vocal range that has to be heard to be believed. He sings with some serious emotion: &#8220;Sorrow breaks me down, It&#8217;s crushing me tonight, But I feel alive.&#8221; Track two&#8217;s &#8220;Images&#8221; offers some killer riff\/solo work from Daniel Bage and Brandon Jacobs on guitars, and also features the &#8216;freakishly&#8217; skilled bass playing from Andrew Jacobs. Clancy&#8217;s vocals seem to get stronger and stronger with each song and is at its most powerful on the standout tracks &#8220;Forsaken&#8221; and &#8220;Suffocate&#8221;. This is a young band that has a great future if they can continue to grow in all areas of songwriting and live performance. This reviewer definitely got the &#8216;shot in the arm&#8217; that was needed from MUTINY WITHIN&#8217;s Awake.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i66.photobucket.com\/albums\/h259\/rsid999\/Storm-08-june.gif\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i3.photobucket.com\/albums\/y55\/RSCODY\/ROCKHEROFINAL1-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<big><br \/>\n<strong>ROCKET REVIEW:<\/strong><\/big><br \/>\n<big><strong><br \/>\n[starreview tpl=16] MUTINY WITHIN &#8211; &#8220;Awake&#8221; (CD)<\/strong><small><br \/>\n<em>(Roadrunner Records\/2010)<\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n1.
