MAELSTROM post teaser track from upcoming album


Long Beach, New York-based cinematic metal band MAELSTROM has posted a teaser of the track "A Futile Crusade" online at their official MySpace page: www.myspace.com/metalmaelstrom

The track is featured on the band's upcoming powerfully explosive three-song Ep, "It Was Predestined" (Perfect Storm Recordings), in stores this November. The three tracks have been re-imaginined and re-constructed from music written 20 years ago and releasing for the first time ever on CD.

"The song 'A Futile Crusade' marked a real turning point in Maelstrom's writing style. Musically we made a huge leap in maturity - abandoning a more simplistic structure style of verse chorus etc. in favor of huge themes that pulled the listener into the landscapes we were creating," comments the band. "Lyrically this song introduces the master malevolent being in the world and the clashes of the conflicting armies that have torn the planet apart. This song has it all from the intensely evil driving intro, the classically influenced march section, the "dance groove" bridge and its intense ripping main verse, as well as some melodic vocal stylings and some very aggressive double bass."
