Hell Within

Hell Within is a metalcore band hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts, originally known as Twytch before changing their name as they embraced a heavier, more brutal sound. Their music is a fierce blend of hardcore, thrash metal, and death metal influences, combining the intensity of straight-edge hardcore with the thrash aggression of bands like Slayer and the heavy death metal vibe reminiscent of Entombed. Hell Within became known for their powerful, relentless energy, showcased across albums like *Asylum of the Human Predator* (2005), *Shadows of Vanity* (2007), and *God Grant Me Vengeance* (2010), which highlight their knack for brutal riffs, aggressive vocals, and tight, punishing rhythms.

The band has made a mark in the metalcore scene with their intense sound and commitment to raw, heavy music. Initially making waves locally, Hell Within grew into a solid five-piece known for their uncompromising style and energy. Their name change from Twytch coincided with a shift toward a more extreme and brutal musical approach, earning them a dedicated following among fans of hardcore and metal alike. With lineup members like vocalist JJ Long and guitarists Isaias and Tony Martinez, Hell Within crafted a distinctive identity that remains rooted in the aggressive spirit of early-2000s metalcore.
