“This week we proudly shine a light on the almighty MaelstroM. The Long Beach, NY cinematic metal trio. MaelstroM’s unique blend of aggressive thrash and fantasy themed imagery will please any type of metal fan, whether you’re into old school Overkill or Viking metal. ”

— Unsigned and Streamed Feature, Metal Insider

“ Dude…This is so metal! This is epic Heavy f*cking metal! It makes the hair on my nape stand up with it’s awesome metalness and ability to slay all weak wanna’ be metal dorks that may stumble warily into their path. Beware!”

— Josh M., Thrashhead

"FUSING a dizzying array of styles - death, power, thrash and prog-metal - with cinematic elements, jaw-dropping musicality and Gary Vosganian's eccentric, staccato vocals, cult New York band Maelstrom present something thunderously unique. What a shame"It Was Predestined" is only three tracks long." 8/10

— Dave Ling, Metal Hammer UK

"Hopefully someone has the balls to put some marketing behind this, as this is the kind of metal that deserves some attention."

— Carlos Ramirez, The Gauntlet

“Named to the Top 2 Unsigned Bands Worldwide In Terrorizers Readers Poll”

“Hard as I tried, I couldn't come up with a comparable sounding act to Maelstrom. "It was Predestined" is heavy, all encompassing, and musically exquisite. The harsh wind hitting your face now will no doubt pale in comparison to the oncoming tornado. ”

— Scott Alisoglu, BLABBERMOUTH

“These songs are huge with styles of power and thrash metal present laced with a few death metal arrangements. I have to draw some comparisons to Manowar as they are present here, imagine Manowar on speed and much heavier and you are heading in the right direction. The three songs on this EP, "Arise", "A Futile Crusade", and "Predestined" blew a huge breath of fresh air into my face and left me wanting more. I simply cannot wait until this band releases their full length debut as I know it will be a major milestone for heavy metal music. I feel that Rhapsody's time has come and gone and Dragonforce will only take their supersonic power/speed metal so far until they crash and burn. So get ready for Maelstrom because they are coming. Mark my words, this band is on their way to becoming the next big thing. ”

— Kevin Alba, metal asylum
