Mutoid Man is an American rock band hailing from Brooklyn, New York, and they've carved a unique niche in the music scene by blending elements of progressive rock, hardcore punk, and heavy metal into a dynamic and high-energy sound. The band was formed in 2012 and initially started as a side project by guitarist/vocalist Stephen Brodsky of Cave In fame, along with drummer Ben Koller of Converge and All Pigs Must Die, revealing a compelling synergy between their distinct musical backgrounds.

Their discography is a testament to the band's ability to mesh melody with muscled riffs and technical prowess. The EP "Helium Head" kicked things off in 2013, showcasing a raw sound that would be further refined in future releases. By the time they released their first full-length album "Bleeder" in 2015 and followed up with "War Moans" in 2017, Mutoid Man had established themselves in the metal community with their unrelenting energy and intricate compositions. Songs such as "Melt Your Mind," "Kiss of Death," and "Bandages" exhibit the band’s range, from anthemic choruses to labyrinthine guitar work and pummeling rhythmic sections. Despite the often serious musicianship, the band is also known for their sense of humor and boisterous stage presence, adding another layer to their distinctive appeal.
