Rival Factions is the sixth studio album by Project 86.

[8] This album is their first without previous drummer Alex Albert, with Jason Gerken from Shiner and Open Hand playing drums.

"The Kane Mutiny", a track that was mentioned in some early track listings for the album, was announced to be part of the iTunes download, as a bonus.

Shortly thereafter, Project 86 announced that they were investigating ways to make the track available to all those who had pre-ordered the album, and in a few weeks had made it available on their MySpace page.

[citation needed] It was later announced on August 23, 2007 that it was to be the title track of The Kane Mutiny EP, released on November 27.
