Stay tuned for part 2 next week and we’ll see you on the road soon.”

Malefice’s Metal Blade debut, Dawn Of Reprisal, is out now.

“…an armor plated aural assault that is driven by mechanical rhythms and gargantuan riffs…plenty here to please.” Outburn Magazine

“Bold and at times brilliant, Dawn of Reprisal may well prove to be not only a stand-alone triumph, but the gateway to bigger and better things.” 4 K rating, Kerrang

“These Brits have chops, but they know how to use them to write songs rather than just wank around.” MetalSucks.net

Malefice film video for “Architect Of Your Demise”; confirmed for Hellfire festival and Behemoth, DevilDriver tour
Malefice have finished filming a video for Architect Of Your Demise from their Metal Blade debut, Dawn Of Reprisal. The video will be available everywhere soon, but for now fans can see the “making-of” video on their myspace page HERE.

Malefice elaborates: “Although shooting this video nearly killed us, Scott Fulton and Eyesmash managed to make the punishing schedule they set out fun to do. Our last video had a very nice, artsy intro but this time we're making something that’ll kick you in the head from the start. It’s brought the focus back, to show people that haven’t already seen us live what to expect. No nonsense, balls to the wall metal that doesn’t fuck about!”

Malefice and Darkness Dynamite confirmed for Bloodstock 2009
MALEFICE and DARKNESS DYNAMITE are the two latest Metal Blade bands to be confirmed to appear at Bloodstock 2009. They will join label mates The Rotted, Anterior and Amon Amarth along with a host of others.

Both bands will appear on the Sophie Lancaster stage, which is poignant as Malefice’s DALE BUTLER explains:

“We’re delighted to be asked to appear on Bloodstock 2009. We’re even more honoured to be a part of the Sophie Lancaster stage, as the disgusting nature of her death is something I speak about on the track ‘Sickened’ on our latest album ‘DAWN OF REPRISAL’. Sophie was killed because of the way she looked, and at the end of the day this is no different to being killed because of the colour of your skin or your religious beliefs. We hope this will be an ongoing tribute to Sophie, and support Bloodstock in their efforts to stamp out mindless hatred and hypocrisy where ever it may be!”

BLOODSTOCK takes place at Catton Hall, Walton-On-Trent, Derbyshire on August 14th to 16th. For more information go to http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/






Malefice post Metal Blade UK Assault Tour wrap-up video!
Malefice just completed a trek across the UK with label mates The Rotted & Anterior. While on the road they (for better or for worse) kept the cameras rolling to capture what life is like on the road. You’ll see some live footage that you won’t see anywhere else, plus you’ll laugh your ass off to just how absurd the touring life can be!

Check out the video on youtube.com HERE!
