Psychedelic Rockers MYTHIC SUNSHIP To Release 'Wildfire' on April 2nd via Tee Pee Records

February 4, 2021

New Single "Maelstrom"

Copenhagen-based quintet MYTHIC SUNSHIP have established themselves among Europe's finest purveyors of psychedelic music; bridging the gap between heavy riff worship and expansive, free-jazz experimentation.

With their sixth studio album 'Wildfire' due for release this April – their first on New York’s legendary underground label, Tee Pee Records – Denmark’s most experimental sons simultaneously open a new chapter on their journey, while razing the foundations on which their previous albums were built. Recorded over the course of four intense days in Stockholm’s vintage RMV Studio, the album documents the erratic, visceral, untameable musical singularity that Mythic Sunship becomes once unleashed in improvisatory interplay.

Working with legendary Danish punk Per Buhl Acs behind the mixing desk, the group has reinvented itself to produce an album which showcases that essence, in its most primal form, is rare. Fusing together raw, kinetic outbursts, Wildfire takes the listener from groovy fuzz rock and cosmic jams into newer territories centered around crunched melodies, uncanny harmonies, turbulent rhythms, and ecstatic walls of guitar insanity. As best exemplified on the new single "Maelstrom" and its frenzied wails of electric dissonance, as their self-proclaimed “anaconda rock” collides with furious freak-outs and lysergic saxophony.

As exhilarating and electrifying as psychedelic records come, 'Wildfire' showcases Mythic Sunship's scorched-earth approach in the search for new ideas, and will be released on April 2nd, 2021 via Tee Pee Records. Pre-order HERE.

MAELSTROM Premiere "Th13teen Within A Circle" Music Video

Debut Studio Album 'Of Gods And Men' Out May 22nd

Epic thrash metal group MAELSTROM are excited to share another offering from their soon to be released debut album; an accomplishment more than three decades in the making. Today, the band has premiered their music video for "Th13teen Within A Circle"

MalestroM will independently release their debut album 'Of Gods And Men' on May 22nd (next Friday). Fans can pre-order 'Of Gods And Men' HERE

About MaelstroM

Formed in the ferocious firestorm of the eighties thrash movement, MaelstroM began its

storm surge by quickly dominating their local scene of Long Island, New York. Within a

few years they expanded beyond regional borders and began to gain worldwide

notoriety. Unfortunately, like many bands of that era, MaelstroM fell victim to the

changing scene as harder metal gave way to Seattle grunge and the landscape of

heavy music shifted.

Not satisfied with the way things ended with MaelstroM’s legacy, vocalist and lyricist

Gary Vosganian and main song writer and guitarist Joey Lodes set out to finish the

vision they had left incomplete all those years ago. Finally, after multiple fits and

starts, hurdles and heartaches, the pair has realized their dream with the worldwide

release of their debut album 'Of Gods And Men'. A journey that began, humbly, as a few

kids in a basement, some 32 years ago.

'Of Gods and Men' is rooted in the sounds and themes of MaelstroM’s eponymous 1989

debut demo and 1991’s acclaimed, This Battle to Make History, Yet History Never

Comes. It represents a further step in the band’s evolution beyond their superlative

2008 EP It Was Predestined, which charted CMJ Top 20 as an independent and was

recognized on Terrorizer Magazine’s coveted annual ranking of “best unsigned bands”.

'Of Gods And Men' delivers a 69 minute album of such complexity and decades-intense

planning, that it can hardly be considered simply a collective of ten songs.

“There was always a very cinematic pageantry to what we were looking to do,”

continues Gary. “The idea was to create a cinematic vision, more than simply individual

songs. It is meant to be a whole piece, conceptual in all aspects and truly an album,

which we consider to be ‘an abandoned art’ these days”.

MAELSTROM Release Lyric Video for Single "Army From Ash"

April 27, 2020

From Debut Album 32 Years in the Making ,Out May 22nd

The New York-based group will independently release their debut album 'Of Gods And Men' on May 22nd 2020. After beginning the journey 32 years ago, this effort is a tribute to tenacity and the idea of never giving up on your dreams.

"The end result is one of the most event-filled, headphone-heaven heavy metal albums ever made, conceptual in the extreme from the artwork, down through the lyrics, through the soundtrack appointments and into a genre space wholly of the band’s own making.

-Martin Popoff

Pre-order "Of Gods And Men" HERE

The story behind MaelstroM and their upcoming debut full-length is parts both uncommon and unbelievable. Forged in the late 80's from a friendship between lead vocalist Gary Vosganian and guitarist Joey Lodes, the band emerged from the Long Island scene and quickly began to gain notoriety on the national level. However, despite a pair of highly acclaimed early demos to their credit, MaelstroM would enter an indefinite hiatus in the 90's as the music industry further turned its attention away from the heavy metal renaissance of the 80's to the Seattle grunge movement.

Now, more than three decades later, MaelstroM have emerged from their untimely end; ready to unveil their debut LP, 'Of Gods And Men,' while leaving no stone unturned on the 69 minute, three-act epic. A journey that began some 32 years ago in a humble basement finally reaches its much needed culmination.
