This idea was one of Marius Berendsen's inspiring thoughts, as he started sketching the first notes for his new project MALLEVS MALEFICARVM in 2011. At this time, not much hinted at the ten-track debut album that is now unleashed into the world on April 21, as initially, the young musician from Bocholt had only one plan in mind: He wanted to play the music that he always loved and admired, nothing more. But over a five-year long period of intensive work and and painful metamorphosis, the one-man-project grew into the infernal witch hammer that now freshly inked a contract with NoiseArt Records. In the meantime, not only Robert "Robse" Dahn - the vocal force of Bavaria's epic folk titans EQUILIBRIUM - was accepted as a full member behind the microphone, but also Schmied from MOR DAGOR and the Finn Vesa Salovaara from VORNA had joined the band and together they are now ready to pulverise the stages of Europe. Their debut album "Homo Homini Lupus", forged over a process of five years, delivers a melodic yet raging black metal sound mixed with dirty rock elements and a pinch of melancholy and is therefore not only suited for fans of brutal extremes but also provides catchy moments that instantly capture the listener.
