Maltese Metal Heads – ‘ALIGN THE TIDE’ premiere HOLLOW, the much-anticipated follow-up album from the 2019 ‘Dead Religion’ via Metal Injection. The album will be released on August 26th; the feature can be found here!
Band Statement:
“Hollow” is a perfect transition into our new style as Align the Tide, still keeping the main elements but with a refined sound. Expect heaviness, catchy choruses, and in-your-face riffs that will make you dance. We decided to go with a topic such as ‘Mental Health, which most people go through daily. Most people will relate to each song’s own story, as some tracks are based on real-life experiences and have concepts and stories.

Formed in September 2015, the band experimented with different music sounds while working alongside local musicians, extracting influences and styles.
The band’s founders have been exploring music genres for the past nine years before settling on the dynamic sound you hear today in Align The Tide! Together, they composed music based on thrash, groove & melodic metal, resulting in the recording of their debut album ‘Dead Religion’ & videos for ‘The Golden Throne’ & ‘Welcome to Hell’ from the same record. Merchandise has been designed & produced to accompany the above release.
In March 2018, the band supported the legendary band ‘Mushroomhead’ on their American tour, visiting several main cities such as Mesa, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Jerome, Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, Lincoln, Waterloo, Minneapolis, Joliet, Madison, Racine, Cleveland.
Upon returning home, the band participated in several local gigs & festivals where they rooted their main fan base before embarking on a mini-European tour visiting Germany and the Czech Republic.
Align The Tide is signed to the major Independent record label based in the US – Cleopatra Records. They have released ‘Dead Religion’ as their first opus, with their second album, ‘Hollow,’ due to be released in August 2022.
