Their sound ranged from fast and chaotic in their demo beginnings to an atmospheric, melodic groove on their final release, "Rainbow Person"(a punk rock masterpiece). The originality in their music certainly set them apart from the other bands of the time, but what many fans and fellow hardcore enthusiasts believe to be the most significant about UM's sound in particular is the rough, crazed vocals of frontman Mike Brown that are claimed to be the first ever done in that style. There were plenty of hardcore "singers" who shouted and screamed, but nothing as guttural or gruff as the vocals for United Mutation. With a completely original style, they performed a breed of hardcore punk that was all their own. Yet, sadly, this also caused them to be one of the most overlooked groups of this classic era...most likely because they were too different from their musical peers and way ahead of their time. As UM drummer Billy Fox once said in an interview, "Face it, we were not cool. We weren't hated, we were just not considered "in."
