"With Haste On Its Breath" is massive, melodic, introspective, and tortured, like a wonderful dream that quickly metamorphasizes into the kind of nightmare that continues to rattle and haunt you even after you awaken, stuck to your psyche like gum to the bottom of a shoe." -Metal Sucks

"Maid Myriad, which calls its music “kaleidoscope rock” thankfully digs deeper and further back into the ’90s recalling the intricate, herky-jerky dynamics and start-stop riffs of bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and At the Drive-In and heavier contemporary proggy bands such as Tool and The Mars Volta, minus the 10-minute songs." - Akron Beacon Journal

"Slowly uncoiling, building from a gentle, theatrical intro into an explosive modern rock masterpiece by the end, “Be Careful What You Wish For” is just an example of MAID MYRIAD’s awesome dexterity displayed on the moving twelve-song With Haste On Its Breath. The trio fuses an endless array of genres into a unique, hook-strewn rock amalgam of their own, and on the album, creates an hour-long opus that is as beautiful as it is contagious." - Earsplit Compound

Shake Them Off

This is a song about meeting someone for the first time and the connection is so instant it's like you had known them forever or in a past life. The lead vocal was actually a scratch vocal I did while drinking whiskey. When trying to "actually" track the lead vocal, none of them came close to the rawness and attitude of the scratch vocal... so It stayed in, mistakes and all. My brother Kevin Klemm is playing drums on this one. I was inspired by the "Great Gig In The Sky" sound with the distant vocals sifting in and out during the bridge.

"Azure Planes"
by JCK
from the upcoming full length "With Haste On Its Breath"

Mysterious trails in the sky morph into poetry floating above him.

Disappearing ink blots speak soft while cursive adjectives form a choir of songs!
 
Azure planes color the sky a brilliant blue and gold!
Poetic clouds sing to him, lines tracing his name.

Delirious lines in his mind create soundscapes etched in the sky


Message staining. Contrails fading 
Sunspots own thoughts, a flanger of words.

Azure planes color the sky a brilliant blue and gold!
Poetic clouds sing to him, lines tracing his name.


Poetry etched in the sky!

Azure Planes

"Camera Eye"
by JCK
from the upcoming full length album "With Haste On Its Breath"

Starved for the truth
You'll feast on your doom.


Strangled by a noose
Jump or live you'll choose.

Shaken by the news
All part of your excuse.


Fabricated misuse
Entombed by your abuse.

Capturing the truth
The Camera eye is onto you.
All of your lies will shine through.
The Camera eye is onto you.


Hiding behind booze

Concealing your bruise.

Planting all your lies to bloom
You'll grow a costume.

Capturing the truth.
The Camera eye is onto you.
All of your lies will shine through.
The Camera eye is onto you.

All of your lies will shine through.

Akron, Ohio-formed MAID MYRIAD has completed their debut full-length studio recording, which is now being finalized for an early Fall 2014 release via Nefarious Industries.
Boasting a beautiful but potent style of post-progressive/alternative/pop they like to refer to as kaleidoscope rock, MAID MYRIAD blends dynamically versatile songs, angst-fueled progressive riffs, delicate pin drop moments, and intense start/stop dynamics. The band formed in 2007, quickly solidifying their name within the local scene, receiving heavy regional airplay from their debut EP Embrace, being named Akron’s second best local band in 2010 (behind The Black Keys), logging miles in the van, and opening for such national acts as Primus, Gogol Bordello, Dax Riggs, Michale Graves, Maps & Atlases, As Tall As Lions and more.

Guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Jeff Klemm (ex-Via Lotus), and drummer Greg Meisenberg (A Fucking Elephant), have recently wrapped-up recording MAID MYRIAD’s first full-length album, With Haste On Its Breath. With a dozen new songs radiating with the band’s most exceptionally-crafted songwriting through their most expansive and explosive material to date, With Haste On Its Breath is an hour-long opus that is as beautiful as it is infectious. Bursting with influences from a gamut of rock subgenres, one can hear elements of Sense Field, Serpico, Sunny Day Real Estate and others born of the 1990s post-hardcore/emo circuit, massive alternative rock elements of Dredg, later Cave In and the mellowest aspects of the Dillinger Escape Plan’s more recent recordings, relentless creativity on the level of Tool and Mike Patton’s catalog and so on, all seamlessly honed and brought to vibrant life with a passionate, dynamic, clean vocal delivery. Recorded in both Akron, Ohio, and Keyport, New Jersey, produced and engineered by Klemm at Free Truman Productions, and then mixed and mastered by Kevin Antreassian at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, New Jersey (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Adrenaline Mob, Foxy Shazam, etc.), the album’s artwork and layout was crafted by Eric Nyffeler at Doe-Eyed (East Of The Wall, A Fucking Elephant).

While MAID MYRIAD has been comprised of Jeff Klemm and Greg Meisenberg, the duo is now joined by bassist Mario Tonathy, whom the band toured with heavily throughout 2013. With Tonathy now a full-time member of the band, MAID MYRIAD will take back to the streets, promoting the new album across the US throughout the latter half of 2014 and beyond.

With Haste On Its Breath will see a six-panel digipak CD and digital release October 7th via Nefarious Industries, the independent label founded by members of MAID MYRIAD, A Fucking Elephant, El Drugstore and more, and the home of a bunch of big, dumb noise.
