THE BEER SCALE

We rate this CD worthy of 7 Lovells Pure Lagers.
THINK LOVELLS

WHO?
Birmingham, Alabama's Maylene and The Sons of Disaster are a wild bunch. The band plays a swampy form of hugely humongous chaotic rock, almost certainly influenced by the likes of ZZ Top, Guns N' Roses, or AC/DC (or more recently, Every Time I Die or Underoath), and are hedging their bets on this latest album to be their breakout record. With 40,000 sales of 'II' and a hectic life on the road the Sons have been seemingly unstoppable, tearing alongside the likes of A Static Lullaby, Clutch, From Autumn to Ashes, and Norma Jean, and opening fire on Warped Tour stages for two more summers plus a slot on this years Soundwave festival and supporting Alice in Chains on their Sidewave shows.

WHAT WE THOUGHT
Big guitars, a vocalist gargling gravel, choruses that make you want to pull up a stool and attack that whiskey bottle, that's Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster for you. This time around the Southern Rocker's take a bit of a Motley Crue path at times, or maybe that's just the big production adding a bit of cock into their brand of rock? It's got balls, oozes guts and actually does have a bit of everything. One minute it's smooth, the next your listening to the soundtrack of a throat being slithered to pieces. A little different to past efforts, so may take some adjusting too, but definitely an album that grows with each listen. Nice effort.
