Two weeks after dropping off a North American tour with Nevermore, Mutiny Within has cancelled their scheduled four-week North American tour with Epica, Scar Symmetry, and Blackguard. Here's the official word: "After weeks of discussions, we've decided to cancel our current touring plans in order to focus all of our efforts to writing the 2nd MW album. Touring with Epica would have been amazing and we were really looking forward to it, this wasn't easy for us and we apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us again. After a year of touring, we feel it's time to get all of this new material demoed and recorded. We've started writing and we don't want to stop. We hope you all understand and support us, because we are excited to bring you brand new music. "As far as touring goes, we are exploring opportunities for early 2011, and not just in America ;) We do have a few temporary drummer replacements lined up for any possible upcoming dates/tours, but we are still holding auditions for a permanent member. Send an e-mail to MWdrumauditions@gmail.com if you or anyone you know is interested. "Wait until you guys hear the new songs!"
