According to their website, Maxdmyz is a London based 5-piece band consisting of Twister (vocals), Roger (guitars), Jay (drums), A’Zedd (bass guitar) and Vortex (keyboards). They released their first recordings in the late Nineties and is well established in the UK scene having built its reputation over the years with stunning live performances and recording some of the most innovative and original alternative metal ever to come out of the UK music scene. One of the band’s highlights include past collaboration with Eminem, and their influences are wide and varied, from Lou Reed and Black Sabbath, to Squarepusher, Pantera and 80’s electro pop.

To be honest I had never come across them prior to being sent this four-track EP to listen to, and I can certainly see why the label says that fans of Rammstein, White Zombie, Ministry and Sisters Of Mercy should check them out, but there are a whole host of others that could be added to that. They describe their style of music as ‘Alchemical Metal’ and that’s probably as good a handle as any, as I have no real idea on how to describe it. There are definite industrial influences, but mathcore also rears its head, yet is also melodic and poppy at the same time, and there are elements that would fit in a techno/rave scene. The only way to really experience this band is by listening to it: whatever words I write just won’t do it justice, and I am certainly intrigued enough to want to hear a full album from these guys.
