Hard rock innovators Maylene and the Sons of Disaster will release their long-awaited new album Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: IV on September 27, 2011 via Ferret Music.
Produced by Brian Virtue (Jane's Addiction, Deftones, Audioslave), the LP shines a spotlight on this celebrated band's virtuosic prowess and depth of musical identity.
The striking cover art for Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: IV was designed by Forefathers Group (Children of Bodom, In Flames, Between the Buried and Me).
On the record, the band continues its focused conceptual and lyrical bend, which plots Maylene and the Sons of Disaster as renegade outlaws from a 1920's gangster/prohibition-era real-life crime family.

The record's gritty musical shootouts are filled with intricate guitar riffing and whiskey drenched grooves, and vocalist Taylor discusses it a bit further below:
"This is the most serious thing we've ever done and the most grown-up record I've ever made in my life. I think it will surprise a lot of people who were into Maylene before. It is a very dark record, but it's the most truthful and heartfelt thing I have done in my life."
