Mayhem For Mary

This is Mayhem For Mary.
Mayhem For Mary began a classic 4 piece (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Vocals) in early 2015, creating original music derived from influences as varied as grunge, metal, blues, prog and folk. The departure of the original guitarist meant a short hiatus for the band for much of 2016. Having searched in vain for a suitable guitarist, the decision was made to abandon the 4 piece concept and instead continue as an alternative 3 piece (Drums, Bass, Vocals). This decision was a massive positive turning point as it opened up a whole new area of sonic exploration for the band, leading to experimentation with vocal effects and textures, and some interesting signal routing and bass guitar effects. The band delved into sounds which would surely have been overlooked had a guitarist been part of the writing sessions. The process gave rise to a whole new body of work which included some more beat driven dance vibes along with the heavy alt-rock sound which was retained from the 4-piece days.

The philosophy of the band remains unchanged.

To Make music which is at once everything and nothing. To scratch the creative itch. To scratch the surface of what has gone before. To strive to find the line between the weird and the accessible. To Tickle the line and make it wobble. To ponder, to let the mind wander, to make you sway and rock and dance. To make a spark which might one day start another fire, and above all, not to let inspiration waste.

To reflect for a moment on the vastness of the universe, to think of all the people who have come and gone through the ages, and then to create a piece of music which has never been heard before....... That's fucking awesome. That's why Mayhem For Mary exists.
