"The Empty Frame" will be released in Europe on March 5th, 2012 via Target/Mighty Music and may very well be one of the most promising new melodic metal albums in 2012. Musically, MALRUN navigates in a cross-breed of hard-hitting metal, groovy riffs and melodic rock with a remarkably fresh and modern edge. The music thus targets both the broad mainstream audience as well as the metal environment.
