Wicked Maraya

Looks like the old thread was deleted. Anyway, I was checking online for some stuff on these guys and came across a MySpace page:

http://www.myspace.com/wickedmaraya

Check out the killer unreleased song! I guess an album was done before Cycles that was never released. Unfortunate. Because "Sounds Of Evil" sounds killer! Also, there's a blog entry that suggests the band is writing under the Wicked Maraya name again, for a new album at some point. Interesting.

There's also a recent interview on the page with the singer where he basically says the Maraya albums were done to basically try and break into the American mainstream (not a surprise if you've heard the albums). He seems to regret not continuing on with the Wicked Maraya sound. Yeah well, I regret it too. That album is frickin' awesome. So maybe they could pull off another album like Cycles? Who knows. But I hope someone steps up and releases the unreleased album!

Me and my friends used to love this band back in high school. Cycles was awesome. Almost like old Crimson Glory.

Cycles is an awesome album! I hated when they changed the name and their sound.

Did you check out that pre-Cycles song on their MySpace page? Man, it's killer!

Old Crimson Glory? Sweet! Never heard this band but it sounds like something I would dig.

Download the whole album there. That was the singer's previous cover band. Laugh at the name, but not the gig. Check out the pictures, seems like a pretty fun deal. Haha.

Anyway, not sure if they're like Crimson Glory, but they've always sort of sounded like a cross between early Queensryche and Alice In Chains.

Thanx, I'll give it a shot when I'm @ home in a bit.
