Although they formed in the late '80s, it wasn't till the early '90s when their
'This Battle to Make History... Yet History Never Comes' demo hit the tape trader circuit, did
MaelstroM become an international concern. The Long Island, NY tech-metallers found themselves suddenly being compared to greats such as
Sabbat and
Kreator. Anyone who has heard
MaelstroM's forward-thinking arrangements and dizzying guitar work already knows how talented this band is, but sadly, no label would take a chance on them during their initial run in the '90s.
Fast-forward to today and
MaelstroM are not only back, they're stronger than ever and dedicated to bringing their wildly inventive brand of metal to a new generation of listeners.
In this
Ultimate-Guitar exclusive, guitarist
Joey Lodes shows us some of the highlights from
MaelstroM's
'It Was Predestined' EP. Head over to
