Why should major label bands be the only ones who get love? Unsigned & Streamed is a new column where we stream a song from an unsigned band we at Metal Insider really dig.
This week we proudly shine a light on the almighty MaelstroM. The Long Beach, NY cinematic metal trio actually first formed in the 80’s. However, MaelstroM reformed after a decade apart and haven’t looked back since. And though they’ve done little touring, their three song EP It Was Predestined gained attention from many since its release in 2008, having been named Terrorizer Magazine’s #2 unsigned metal band a few years back. MaelstroM’s unique blend of aggressive thrash and fantasy themed imagery will please any type of metal fan, whether you’re into old school Overkill or Viking metal. So without further ado, give the song “Predestined” a listen in the stream below.
