Maelstrom? Nope.

Do you not like them or do you not know of them? They probably haven't aged particularly well, but they're one of the "M" bands I remember being semi-popular with people who liked thrash back in the day. At least in the area I grew up in.

Never heard them. To be honest ther was so many Thrash bands around at this time that the scene collapsed upon itself. Even now upon revisiting a few bands (some I still listen to), it is evident that many bands punched above their weight.

I just tried googling them with no luck because, guess what, there have been a crapload of bands named Maelstrom apparently. The band I'm thinking of was around in the late 80s/early 90s had a sound that was a little bit in the ballpark of Faith No More but still thrashy. I remember they also did a country cover of some Metallica song but I can't remember which one.

Ah-ha! I just found them on Rhapsody! They're more thrash/hardcore and less Faith No More than I remembered. It actually may be worth your while to check out a couple of the songs just for the hell of it. The country-fied Metallica cover they do is "For Whom the Bells Tolls" and it's still kind of amusing.
