Torn Within was a band back in the early 2000’s that had a heavy metalcore/deathcore sound in the vein of early Suicide Silence. They actually played tons of shows with them. Once the band broke up, guitarist Rick Ash & bassist Mike Bodkins joined Suicide Silence and wrote the EP. Rick Ash then left Suicide Silence and Mike ended up playing bass on The Cleansing as well as No Time To Bleed before his departure. Fast forward 17 years later, Torn Within has re-emerged with original guitarist Rick Ash
