MAYAN started out as a project in 2010, founded by musician Mark Jansen (EPICA) with two former members of AFTER FOREVER: Jack Driessen and Sander Gommans. Their goal is to produce heavy technical death-metal with a symphonic touch. MAYAN was completed with the addition of well-known names from the scene Frank Schiphorst (SYMMETRY), Ariën van Weesenbeek (EPICA, ex-GOD DETHRONED), Isaac Delahaye (EPICA, ex-GOD DETHRONED) and Rob van der Loo (ex-SUN CAGED, ex-DELAIN). The clean vocals on their CD are taken care of by a series of guest vocalists, such as Floor Jansen (REVAMP, ex-AFTER FOREVER), Simone Simons (EPICA), Henning Basse (SONS OF SEASONS) and opera singer Laura Macrì. Their debut album ‘Quarterpast’ has been released in May 2011. After a tour in South America, MAYAN is back in the Netherlands to rock the stage. Don’t miss out!
