www.myspace.com/astrugglewithin

 In A Struggle Within's first CD release just 1 year ago the band made a big statement about what Metal should be, selling over 1,500 copies and playing shows across the East Coast with national acts like Elysia, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Threat Signal and many more. 
           ASW's follow up CD "The Devastation" promises to carry on the same intensity with a darker, more technical sound unlike any band today and will be released sometime in late '07. A full U.S./Canada tour is in the plans for Summer '08. Anyone a fan of insane head-banging, mosh-pitting and straight up pure against the scene metal - check these guys out live!
