THE MAENSION was formed in Hollywood, CA by Italo-American singer & producer Mark Maension.

The band has been touring massively on the international circuit for the last 3 years, doing over 300 shows in 15 countries and opening for bands such as Mudvayne, In This Moment, MushroomHead, Ministry, Otep, Non Point, Head PE, Christian Death and Lacuna Coil. They have played Festivals in USA, Canada and Europe like SXSW TX, LocoFest FL, MetaLocaLypstickFest BC, Birdman UK and South's Cheyenne IT.
Their sound blends heavy guitars, modern production, electronic and orchestral elements with Mark's voice drawing influence from the 90's as well as the Italian melodic tradition of his roots.
The band is not afraid of venturing outside the common grounds of their genres, both musically by displaying a variety of influences and sounds, and visually by having a Keytar player in their lineup.
Skye, who also plays the innovative instrument called Alphasphere, created a lot of curiosity around her and was nominated among the “Top 25 Women in Hard Rock and Metal for 2015” from Metalholic.

The new album RÆVOLUTION was written and produced in Los Angeles and Naples (Italy) in between the band's European and American tours.
The album seeks to capture the sense of uncertainty and frustration that young people around the world feel, channelling that energy into powerful hooks and resonating lyrics.
The ample use of gang vocals and protest-like catch-phrases, quickly connects the audience with the message and energy the band wants to deliver. The heavy drums and guitars are alternated by softer moments with beautiful orchestrations and vocals melodies to help conveying a positive outlook and an uplifting message.

Their previous album ÆVOLUTION, released in exclusive trough MetalInsider.net topped at #36 on the CMJ LOUD ROCK top 40 charts for USA and Canada.

ÆVOLUTION includes the song CHRYSALIS featuring a vocal cameo by Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and FREAK mixed by Sylvia Massy (Tool, SOAD..) which was featured in the movie Hold Your Breath released in theaters in USA and on TV channels around the world.
