Birmingham, AL hard rock unit MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER's new music video for the surging track 'Dry the River' has been posted for online viewing at the Hot Topic website. 'Dry The River' is the lead track from the critically acclaimed new album, Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster: II.

The world premiere of the 'Dry The River' video marks an industry first as the eagerly anticipated clip becomes the first ever music video to make its debut via the official Hot Topic website, www.hottopic.com. The conceptual video, a live action recreation of the album art, was helmed by director Andrew Paul Bowser and tells the story of "the last night for a gang of criminals" (as portrayed by the members of Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster) whose "lucky streak has finally come to an end."

Vocalist Dallas Taylor had this to say about the making of the video: "To me it feels like watching a short film and I don't think it could have turned out any better - I am so proud of it. The experience was like being a part of something more that just a music video. We put  ourselves through a lot of difficult things, like standing in 40 degree water for an extended periods of time, falling down hills  and being dragged over rocks. I believe that all of the hard work we put in, coupled with the vision of director Andrew Bowser will ensure that this video comes across as more of an 'experience' for the viewer."
