HIRAM-MAXIM releases “Grand Mal” single/video on July 4

Cleveland quartet HIRAM-MAXIM are back with another scorcher, “Grand Mal.”

Of the song, the band says, “HIRAM-MAXIM is named after the guy who created a machine gun that to this day is used to maim and destroy. We've always been political but in an esoteric way. 'Grand Mal' is our most overtly political song since 2013.

“Then again, a lot of bad shit has happened since then. Shit that maims and destroys. 'Grand Mal' is a reaction to those who have weaponized the cult of personality to convince no less than 30 percent of the citizens to consume a Kool-Aid made with algae-laden water, gold paint, orange makeup, and hate. Not good.

“The cultists are lost. The other 70 percent should do better."

Put it in your ears to celebrate independence on July 4.
