Milky Bomb Records present: Megalomatic - Symbolism EP.

- "You don't find many modern Scottish bands singing about fairy tales or fantasy." - Craig Mckenzie, Megalomatic. Read on...

Formed in 2013, by McKenzie, drummer Jamie Barnes and bassist Ben Reffin, Megalomatic do indeed sing about real life issues and they do so with equal parts muscle and heart. A power trio whose musical might comes across as a mixture of Biffy Clyro by way of Mastodon, Megalomatic have proven, over the course of their young career, that heavy music can have profound emotional resonance.

While the band's debut album Hunt For The Midnight Sasquatch showcased their penchant to play metal that was informed as much by Black Peaks as it was by "South Park," the band's new EP Symbolism is a jaw-dropping batch of new material that represents a massive creative leap forwards both lyrically and sonically.

While Megalomatic can play it dark, fast and heavy, their songs have surprising breaks and shifts that catch the listener off guard and beg for repeat listens. Their varied musical tastes that range from Snoop Dogg to Ice Cube to Everything Everything, demonstrate that this is a band that draws inspiration from the least likely of places.

This can best be evinced in Megalomatic's pre-show ritual, which is perhaps one of the more surprising reveals you'll run into all year.

"As a band we hype ourselves up before playing a show," McKenzie laughs, "by listening to Will Smith - in the car and before we hit the stage."

To start the ball rolling, Megalomatic start their UK tour with an EP launch with DF Concerts in Glasgow, 15th Sept., 2017.
