Maylene And The Sons of Disaster

Formed in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster are pioneers of Southern metal—fusing the grit of hardcore, the swagger of Southern rock, and the heaviness of metal into a sound that is as raw as it is unmistakable. Since their breakout debut in the mid-2000s, the band has built a fiercely loyal global following through relentless touring, unmistakable riffs, and an uncompromising DIY ethic.

Led by founding frontman Dallas Taylor (co-founder of Underoath), Maylene quickly separated themselves from the pack with a style rooted in Southern storytelling, outlaw attitude, and crushing metallic intensity. Their early releases, “Maylene and the Sons of Disaster” and “II: A Tribute to the Fist,” became cult classics, while subsequent albums including “III,” “IV,” and “IV: The Sons of Disaster” further cemented their reputation as one of heavy music’s most authentic and respected acts.

Known just as much for their explosive live shows as their recorded output, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster have toured extensively with genre-defining artists and appeared at major festivals across the United States and abroad. Their performances are fueled by sheer energy, crowd-engaging chaos, and a Southern-fried ferocity that few bands can replicate.

Following a period of silence due to personal adversity, the band’s return to the stage has been met with overwhelming support from fans old and new—proving that Maylene’s legacy has only grown stronger with time. Their resurgence signals not just a comeback, but a continuation of a band whose influence still echoes across the heavy music landscape.

With new momentum, renewed focus, and a catalog that helped define an era, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster remain a true force in Southern metal—built on brotherhood, resilience, and riffs that hit like a freight train.
