Fans would tell you that one of the most endearing things about Birmingham, Alabama's Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is that they're genuinely one of those bands that can't be pigeonholed.

The new album due out on Ferret Music on September 27th is called IV. It is progressive, experimental, melding of heavy rock, with elements of metal and even country. The songs are delivered with ferocious intensity, delivering infectious rhythms, imposing riffs, and Dallas Taylor's vocals, that shift from smoky to nasty with ease.

"We put our hearts into this record," says Dallas Taylor, "It's a much darker record that deals with a ton of trials I went through during and following III."

"We hope this captures us as band with a lot of substance. You can see the insides and outs of our daily lives through these songs."
