Biography:

Maelstrom was formed in 2004 by Wull Hay and Scott Simpson as a 2-man project that was never intended for live performance. During 2004, the pair recorded their first self-titled demo. In 2005, it was decided that a full line-up would need to be found. The band was completed with the arrival of drummer Donnie Temple, and bassist Chris Cameron. Throughout 2006 the band existed as a 4-piece, and now under the name Maelstrom, began writing and rehearsing. Linzi Brown joined later that year as a fifth member. With this new line-up, Maelstrom played their live debut on 24th May 2006 at the 13th Note in Glasgow. In 2007, the band recorded their first full-length release entitled "The Shores At Dawn".

Press:

"For a young band, they have a surprisingly well-developed mastery of songcraft"
Zero Tolerance

“Alternatively melodic and aggressive and possessed of a palpable sense of creeping dread, these guys could carry the future of Scottish metal on their shoulders.”
