MAIDENHEAD

BIO:

Maidenhead is a Massachusetts/Rhode island-based thrash/death metal band formed in 2013, blending the razor-sharp aggression of classic thrash with the technical brutality and atmosphere of old-school death metal. Influenced by genre-defining acts such as Megadeth, Slayer, Morbid Angel, and Death, the band's sound is built on high-velocity riffing, progressive songwriting, and uncompromising lyrical themes delivered through intense, high-impect live performances.

The band was founded by Zack Roberts (guitar/Backing Vocals), serves as Maidenhead's primary songwriter and principal lyricist. Across both of the band's full-length releases, Roberts has written or co-written the majority of the music and lyrics, establishing the band's creative direction and thematic identity. Following the release of the debut album, Decapitation of a Maiden (2023). Maidenheed expanded beyond the New England underground, earning festival placements and support opportunities alongside internationally recognized and legacy acts including Artillery, D.R.I, Prong, Pyrexia, Deceased, and Blood Feast. The band has since built a multi-state touring footprint across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York. New Jersey, New Hampshire. Vermont, Maine, virginia, and California, performing in major markets such as Boston, Providence, New York City, Worcester, and the greater Los Angeles area. In 2025, Maidenhead completed their first multi-city California tour, performing in San Jose, Santa Cruz, Oakland, Pomona, East Hollywood, and Los Angeles, marking a significant milestone in their transition into a bi-coastal touring act.

The band's forthcoming full-length album, Maximum Clonage, represents a major evolution in both scope and production. Mixed by legendary producer Randy Burns, the record features Rich Gray (Annihilator) on bass on 6 out of 8 tracks, with guest guitar appearances from Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth) on "Kill Or Be Killed" and Glen Drover (ex-Megadeth, ex-King Diamond) on "False Masked Hero." The album also introduces Vance Simmons (guitar) and zeping ‘Bella’ Song (vocals) in their first studio performances with the band.  

On December 25, 2025, Maidenhead released the first single from the album. “Death March,” and On June 26th 2026 the second single, ‘Magia Obscura’ was released across all major streaming platforms. With a growing national footprint, high-profile collaborators, and a clearly defined creative leadership, Maidenhead continues to advance toward major festival stages, national tour support opportunities and label partnerships.
