US Death Metallers MALEFIC THRONE are currently recording their debut full length “Menegroth The Thousand Caves” with Colin Marston (GORGUTS, ORIGIN, ATHEIST). The band features founder and guitarist Gene Palubicki (PERDITION TEMPLE, ex – ANGELCORPSE), vocalist / bassist Steve Tucker (MORBID ANGEL) and drummer John Longstreth (ORIGIN, HATE ETERNAL, ex – ANGELCORPSE). Longstreth had this to say about the recordings: “I am truly ecstatic to announce to you all that the recording for the up and comming debut by MALEFIC THRONE on Agonia Records has begun, and the drum tracks are complete! If you’re reading this then you are aware of our recent mini album release from 2022 and have an idea of what we intend to release upon the public. Upon listening back to the basic tracks, I am proud to say it’s so much more than what the mini album hinted at. Every song here is a twisting maze that will provide for a truly challenging listen. We are recording this album with Colin Marston engineering and mastering, so you can be rest assured that this album is in the best hands and ears possible. It’s all the extremely brutal and infernal nuclear death that you can expect from the 3 of us, but add that we have all traveled and honed our skills for the past 20 plus years since we initially met in 1997. On a personal note, this is the original type of Death Metal I cut my teeth on when I first started. Evil, fast, a touch euro thrashy, and beligerently pissed off. This is a return to roots, and I have a lot to say in this language. The drums are left wide open, raw, and live. You will hear a real band here. You will hear aggression, hellish self indulgence, you will hear a mistake or two. My promise is that you will hear total Death Metal with all of its festering boyles and lesions left intact. Gene and Steve are next up and I can not wait to hear what they have in store for all of us. Tak care, death metal maniacs!” For regular updates make sure to follow MALEFIC THRONE at www.facebook.com/maleficthrone
