New York City's Full Blown Chaos first unleashed their inflexible metal/hardcore assault via a self-titled 2001 EP, which was later on released on quondam bassist Ed Conroy's Jailhouse Records. They reinforced a following opening for groups like Hatebreed and Sepultura, and in 2003, Jailhouse partnered up with Jamey Jasta's Stillborn Records for the release of another EP, Prophet of Hostility. The crew followed up in October 2004 on Stillborn with the album Wake the Demons. Full Blown Chaos spread their music among the metal push by playing over cc shows in 2005 alone, and in doing so, frontman Ray Mazzola, bassist Mike "Skulk" Ruehle, and brothers Mike and Jeff Facci (guitar and drums, respectively) managed to account gigs with heavy-hitters like Chimaira, Slipknot, Superjoint Ritual, and God Forbid, among others. The band's unrelenting touring schedule relieved up enough for them to enter the studio in February 2006 to record with producer/engineer Eric Rachel (Every Time I Die, A Life Once Lost). Full Blown Chaos' resulting soph crusade, Within the Grasp of Titans, surfaced that summer in time for dates on Ozzfest.
