So, here  we are now in 2022 and the scene is potentially getting one of the biggest reunions that we have seen in a very long time.  The Birmingham, AL southern metalcore vets Maylene and The Sons of Disaster have always been a hot ticket band for reunion requests and rumors since their abrupt hiatus in 2016 due to the terrible ATV accident that struck front man Dallas Taylor, which understandably put him out of commission for a very long time, dealing with multiple life-threatening health struggles that should have taken the singer's life. But like John Jacobs himself he stood strong and kept on fighting. Well,  it seems like the wait for an official MATSOD reunion is starting to become a reality as recent photos and videos have shown up with Dallas Taylor, former Underoath band mate Octavio Fernandez, as well as other former members of Maylene performing for what seems like a new music video, as well as different videos of recordings with Dalla...

To create a mindset and community of living up to what you say on stage and take actions when they are needed. And that is a message that we can get behind. The first single "Coward Season" which is set to drop this Friday perfectly reflects that mindset and the vision that the ban...
