Restless

Restless is Maplerun’s second album (2012). Recorded between 2010 – 2011 a much heavier album than the band’s debut “House on Fire” with a full range of dynamics in every song. The band have blended all their major influences in a more mature songwriting style and present 12 new dynamic songs with a brand new modern sound and direction. “Restless” is mastered by Ted Jensen (Metallica, Rolling Stones, Green Day, Muse, Madonna) in Sterling Sound Studios (New York) and the artwork is designed by Travis Smith (Avenged Sevenfold, Opeth, Nevermore). Maplerun’s official music video for “Bombs” (2014) is sponsored by Redbull.

The band’s second album “Restless” was hosted in Metal Hammer Greece magazine (October 2012), receiving astonishing reviews.

"Maplerun’s Restless did not surprise me. Restless convinced me… that we are dealing with a hard working band that aims at endurance and is not ephemeral. One step heavier, darker and more metal than their previous album, Restless has a lot to say and not only to fans of modern American alternative metal/rock. A complete album with character and essence."

Maplerun supported the Swedish band KATATONIA on February 2013 in Athens as well as DAVE LOMBARDO’s (ex – Slayer) group Philm in April 2013. The band also played HARD ROCK HELL festival in Ibiza (Spain) in May 2013. The band played a UK Tour supporting AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE and RSJ in November 2013.

"An interesting combination of nu-metal, modern and alternative rock, implemented at its best - presented to the listener with a lot of feel- ing...The formation around the very charismatic front man Nick who ́s gifted with a great voice, creates the balance between a pleasant kind of hardness and easy listening...The title track named “Restless” could surely pass even the most critical jury. A rocking masterpiece without equal. Other bands could really take a leaf out of their book... Conclusion: It doesn't always need to be “superhard” to be pleasant! “Maplerun”- are for me the best Greek export when it comes to music."
