Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is an American Christian Southern rock/metalcore band that formed in 2004 in Birmingham, Alabama and began touring the southern U.S. In 2005, they signed to Mono Vs Stereo and released their self-titled debut album. The album II was released on Ferret Records on March 20, 2007 nationwide. Their third album, entitled III was released on June 23, 2009. The song “Just a Shock” was released to the band’s Myspace page on May 11th, 2009. III debuted at #71 on the Billboard 200. Throughout April 2007, the band went on tour in support of their new album II with Christian metalcore band Haste The Day.

Dallas Taylor is the most notable member of the band. He was the original vocalist for the Christian post-hardcore band, Underoath, but was “asked to leave” the band in late 2003. He states that he currently has no feud with any of his former band members anymore. The band name and concept are based on the legend of the criminal gang of Ma Barker and her sons, noting that evil lifestyles will be met with “divine justice”.
