<p>Mutoid Man is an American <a href="/facts/Heavy_metal_music/WsIPhM9e">heavy metal</a> band formed in 2012 in <a href="/facts/Brooklyn/UnUzxCFe">Brooklyn</a>, New York City by <a href="/facts/Cave_In/sI1wRcXK">Cave In</a> vocalist/guitarist <a href="/facts/Stephen_Brodsky/4FG6JGuC">Stephen Brodsky</a>, <a href="/facts/Converge_(band)/1dgs1Q85">Converge</a> drummer <a href="/facts/Ben_Koller/8pBfjldb">Ben Koller</a> and bassist Nick Cageao (with <a href="/facts/High_on_Fire/SGBVPfRo">High on Fire</a> bassist Jeff Matz replacing Cageao in 2021). They have released two EPs and three studio albums to date. <a href="/facts/AllMusic/Hb8cU8Fb">AllMusic</a> described their sound as <a href="/facts/Metalcore/aIBE8GeF">metalcore</a> but noted that it engages not just with <a href="/facts/Hardcore_punk/eonxzUyP">hardcore punk</a> and <a href="/facts/Heavy_metal_music/WsIPhM9e">heavy metal</a> but also <a href="/facts/Rock_and_roll/hNDC5KwW">rock and roll</a>, <a href="/facts/Math_rock/lxBhAPKT">math rock</a>, <a href="/facts/Progressive_rock/79MRoIU7">progressive rock</a>, and <a href="/facts/Psychedelic_music/RkxWNDTa">psychedelic music</a>. <i><a href="/facts/Pitchfork_(website)/a5SkWa6I">Pitchfork</a></i> celebrated their debut album <i>Bleeder</i> for "[embracing] both numbskull <a href="/facts/Hard_rock/yC1FkQcC">hard rock</a> and cerebral <a href="/facts/Progressive_metal/8y6HIRpw">progressive metal</a>, at a time when the two approaches have become almost mutually exclusive in heavy music." </p>
