The group got together in 2007 in an effort to express emotions and feelings through music. A four piece band that combines music styles such as nu-metal, modern rock and alternative rock reflecting the various influences of the band members.
The band spent 4 months between September and December 2007, in order to record what would be their debut album called ‘House on Fire’. The album, produced by the band itself, allowed Maplerun to appear live on Greek television (Mad Day Live on Mad TV and Radio Arvila on Ant1 TV) and also to sign two promotional agreements concerning promotion, touring and distribution in Belgium (Musicarena) and the United Kingdom (SLW Promotions, Two Side Moon). The band received significant radio play and toured Belgium in November 2009 as well as Greece in spring 2010 and winter 2011.
Since then, Maplerun’s video for their single ‘For You’ is being broadcasted on MTV Greece and the band inked a management deal with the host of ‘Headbanger’s Ball’ which is presented on MTV Greece.
The band embarked on a European tour in early October 2010, successfully supporting progressive metal legends Shadow Gallery. Furthermore, the band’s single ‘For You’ is presented on Rock Band, a videogame developed by MTV Games and Harmonix (for PS3, X360 and Wii).
Maplerun’s second album “Restless” is mastered by Ted Jensen (Metallica, Evanesence, Linkin Park etc.) and artwork done by Travis Smith (Opeth, Avenged Sevenfold, Nevermore). “Restless” has been chosen to be released with Metal Hammer magazine as a premium on the issue of October 2012. Both of the band’s albums will be promoted by Poison Tree Records in the USA in 2012.
The band members are exclusive owners of the copyrights of their material. Maplerun are ready to move abroad and tour at any given time, in order to play as many live shows as possible and present their music to different audiences around the world. The members of Maplerun are devoted to the band and ready to take their music a step further.
