Back from the dead in every sense of the term. The always scrappy southern metal outfit Maylene and the Sons of Disaster are releasing their first song in over 11 years. In 2016 frontman Dallas Taylor was involved in a near fatal ATV accident that broke every bone in his face resulting in brain damage. It was hard to imagine Taylor would live, let alone sing again. Dallas spent the last six years patiently rehabilitating himself. Needing a creative outlet, music started being written with no intended purpose other than artistic expression. Supported by Maylene’s final touring line-up of Jasin Todd and Steve Savas on guitar, Jon Longley on drums, and Brad Lehmann on bass and banjo, “Burn the Witches” was meticulously crafted. The song is directly about Taylor’s accident and contemplations he felt in that moment. The lyrics are not a dime store lesson in transcendence, but a brutal account of the most pain you can endure without shuffling off this mortal coil. Produced by Brad Lehmann and mixed and mastered by Sleepwave guitarist Stephen Bowman, the song fully represents a band that is creatively untethered and push moshing against genre walls. Now sporting an eye-patch and an axe to grind, Taylor and Co. are back and from what can be determined are impossible to kill.
