The human experience has been described and extrapolated in many songs, films, poems, stories….we-as humans-have many things in common, yet divided…the human experience is a rollercoaster of emotions, actions and reactions, from one point to the polar opposite…
According to the alternative rock/pop band MAL from Van Nuys, USA…We’ve been inching our way to a fundamental system of 2 choices, a binary system that overshadows the political climate…you’re either this or that.
MAL is a three piece band, and the heroes behind MAL are…
Peter Hollywood on bass
Kristopher Jung on guitars and vocals
Brendan Reynolds on drums
With influences from Jane’s Addiction, Pink Floyd, Deftone, Black Sabbath and many more iconic bands, MAL gives us “Besides”, their latest and philosophical release.
“Besides” is crafted in a special and philosophical way that it might look like a breakup song…however, in reality, it’s more of a commentary on the divisiveness of political roads taken.
The song is very dynamic, from an intro that builds up in a TOOL-ish manner, to soft breakdowns and chill moments during the bridge…to a once again energetic and powerful verse and chorus…
“Besides” gives me the chills like TOOL gives it to me…
…three piece band…
…soaring vocals…
…epic riffs…
…high caliber storytelling…
“Besides” is definitely a hallmark in the alternative rock world and should be checked out as soon as possible by any fan of the genre, it’s a hidden gem that should be front and center…
“Besides” is the second single to be released by MAL ahead of their new album, expected to be released this Summer…much excitement for MAL, they are absolutely awesome and it’s obvious that they ooze high production quality and a mindset of perfection, and they will make sure that whatever they release is the best and only the best, they are disruptors, and disruptors change the world…it’s only a matter of time.
We’ll all be looking forward to the album, and I want to say something…MAL should be the biggest dot on any music lover’s radar, they are on fire.
Wishing you guys all the best in the world, you defintely deserve it…and a little more.
Cheers!
