Maylene and the Sons of Disaster – To Kick Off 2007 With Digital EP and Euro Tour with Norma Jean
Hard rockin’ Birmingham, AL sextet MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER kick off 2007 by announcing the release of a Digital-only EP entitled The Day Hell Broke Loose at Sicard Hollow and the completion of their eagerly anticipated sophomore album (and Ferret Music debut) “MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER: II.”
Set for a February 6, 2007 digital release, The Day Hell Broke Loose at Sicard Hollow will contain the brand new MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER songs “Dry The River” and “Don’t Ever Cross A Trowel” and the previously unreleased MAYLENE… track “Is That a Threat or a Promise”. An advance look at the cover art for The Day Hell Broke Loose at Sicard Hollow can be seen at this location.
Additionally, the hard-hitting band have completed work on their new album, “MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER: II.” With “II,” MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER expound on the true tales of 1920’s gangster Ma Barker and her prohibition era real-life crime family, pushing the ingredients from their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut toward a more complex assault. The album is slated for a March 20, 2007 release and will feature 11 tracks augmented by a striking 16 page, full color booklet featuring powerful photography from Ryan Russell (Mastodon, Big Business, Slayer).
Running wild with a monolithic three guitar attack and a metronomic rhythm section, MAYLENE’s hit men unleash furious fire as intricate guitar riffing and whiskey drenched grooves merge with lead kingpin Dallas Taylor’s (ex-UNDEROATH) gripping lyrical lore that will take your imagination back to a time when the exploits of gangs of criminals gripped the American people and press. Anticipation for the new MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER album is such that the release has already been named one of Alternative Press’ 2007 “Most Anticipated Albums” and the band has been named as one of Metal Hammer Magazine’s “Hot 100: Metal’s Most Important Troops for 2007.”
The final track listing for “MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER: II” is:
1. “Memories of the Grove”
2. “Dry the River”
3. “Plenty Strong and Plenty Wrong”
4. “Darkest of Kin”
5. “Raised by the Tide”
6. “Wylie”
7. “Death is an Alcoholic”
8. “Everyone Needs a Hasting”
9. “Don’t Ever Cross a Trowell”
10. “Tale of the Runaways”
11. “The Day Hell Broke Loose at Sicard Hollow”
MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER will launch a European tour alongside NORMA JEAN beginning tonight in Paris, France. These young guns will be on the road in support of “II” for the whole of 2007, moving city to city, hideout to hideout, to spread the word: MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER is not only one of heavy music’s most exciting new bands, it’s an attitude.

Maylene and the Sons of Gay Incest.
It is strange that southern rock's influence is becoming increasingly more prominent lately. It's a shame i don't care for it, because there certainly are a plethora of bands playing it.
i've seen them before. good show, good music.
ive liked this band a lot since theyre debut, im interested to see where they will go on ferret.
hopefully they wont go gay like in flames or the other bands dealing with ferret.
These guys are really good, you'd never know their singer used to be in Underoath.
