Maul is back and they're here to destroy you with their new single "In The Jaws Of Bereavement" featuring The Acacia Strain vocalist Vincent Bennett. The single comes from Maul's upcoming 20 Buck Spin debut In The Jaws Of Bereavement due out October 4. Pre-orders are available here.
On the single, Maul vocalist Garrett Alvarado said: "First off, I need to give an immense shout out to Vincent Bennett for lending his time for the title track, it's a fucking honor to have an inspiration and a legend involved in our creation and singing my lyrics.
"The single was actually the last song we wrote for the album and I attached a gigantic light to the mood of it during a very dark period of my life. 'In The Jaws Of Bereavement' is directly influenced by that seemingly death clutch of grief and how it affects the will of survival."
Who worked on Maul's new album?
In The Jaws Of Bereavement was tracked, mixed, and mastered by Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recordings at in Minneapolis (Ulthar, Obsequiae, Sunless, Thou), and completed with cover art by Wyrmwalk (Iron Age, Terminal Nation, Sentenced 2 Die, Fulci, Noxis) and photography by Kary Janousek of Old School Collodion. The album includes an additional guest appearance from Hugh Danger, who provides synth and sample work to the album.
"The entirety of our second full-length album offering is drenched in grief and anger thematically, while the song compositions and attack of each members performance on this are the most intentional and precise we've ever been," said Alvarado. "Its layers from all fronts of our influences show on top of how we've grown as a group over the last seven years, touring relentlessly and the execution that brings. We're extremely proud of what we've created and how this album is expressed.
"It was captured as true and raw as possible while sounding huge thanks to Adam Tucker. I also need to shout out the album cover that was encapsulated by the mighty Wyrmwalk, featuring elements of virtually every track involved in the hellscape. He absolutely knocked it out of the park with the color palette and mood of In The Jaws Of Bereavement."
