Hell Within recently lost drummer Brian "Bubba" Joyce and found a replacement in former Trauma Concept drummer Derek Jay. The band's now back with new album, 'Shadows of Vanity', which is schedule for an early 2007 release.
Guitarist Tony Zimmerman says of the new material:
"For the past 7 months we've been busy writing and getting the new Hell Within album ready to record. Finally at the end of this month we will enter Prism Sound Studios in Acton, Ma to start tracking the album under the direction of John Ellis. This will take us about 3 weeks and then the masters are off to Audio Hammer Studios in Orlando FL for Jason Suecoff to mix the album. We're very excited about working with these engineers and can't wait to get started. I will tell you the material is sick. In most areas the riffs are so bone crushing that they will send you into a frenzy, but then the songs have their tasteful melodic elements that will bring you back to earth and leave you begging for more. The songs are rock'n in some areas and then face shredding in others. More or less it has the signature Hell Within sound but put 2 years of touring and 2 more years of experience under our belts and you will have the new Hell Within album entitled "Shadows Of Vanity."
