CD REVIEW FROM UNCLE NEMESIS

Splendidly conceptual theatrical nutters on stage, purveyors of a strange kind of hybrid industrio-metal on record - Maleficent are not your usual rock band, that's for sure. Given my extensive history of gravitating to bands who are, in one way or another, not usual, that's a large part of the reason why I like 'em, and I speak as one who normally runs a mile when anything resembling a metal band heaves into view over the rock 'n' roll horizon. On this, their debut release, Maleficent mash up the pound and pulse of industrial strength electronics with an implacable wall of guitar, and add a hefty dose of vocal histrionics courtesy of twin vocalists Martini, who gives it everything from operatic diva-isms to a mutant bayou-blues snarl, and Mortimer Cain, who takes care of the sepulchral growling end of things. 'Demize' is a freak-rock blast, built upon a powerhouse rumble of overdriven electronica, everything erupting into a monster chorus - it's as if someone plugged Queen Adreena into the mains and threw the high voltage switch. 'Malice And Desire' is a Bladerunner blues, scratchy electronics and threatening bass soundtracking an oblique war of the sexes lyric. 'Black Mass Destruction' is possibly the nearest thing here to a conventional metal song, but in true Maleficent style it doesn't get that near. A lyrical melodrama that sounds like something Marilyn Manson would dream about after too many cheese sandwiches, the song is a lurching, heavyweight, post-Sabbath grind, hauling itself along as if weighed down by the sheer mass of that rampaging guitar. The instrumental interludes 'Soggoth's Old Peculiar' (nope, I don't know what the title means, either: sounds like a beer to me) and 'Bleeding Altar' hint at an almost Foetus-esque take on industrial ambiences. As it happens, I'd like to hear what Maleficent would come up with if they went into a studio with JG Thirlwell at the production controls. The most accessible song here - and probably a low-stress way to get into a band which is not necessarily in the business of making things easy for the listener - is 'Where The Wild Roses Grow', in which Nick Cave's classic murder ballad is kitted out with big boots and attitude. Strange and scary, and good stuff too.

Maleficent is a London based band formed in 2006 by Maleficent Martini singer, actress, dancer and performer, Dr Sickx composer and producer and poet Mortimer Cain, singer and performer. Maleficent plays electro rock alternative music, with metal and industrial influences.

The band incorporates ballet and fetish performances into the shows, Miss Martini is a well known performer in the club scene, professionally trained at the Royal Ballet School in London she has created her own style, performing extensively for, the Torture Garden, Download Festival, Kerrang, Skin Two etc, receiving great reviews.

Maleficent just released an 8 song self produced EP ‘Demize, including a video for the next single “Where the wild roses grow” (a cover version of the Nick Cave/Kylie Minogue song) which has been shot, is undergoing editing and will be ready for release by the 2nd of September. The video has been directed by Maleficent Martini and is co produced by David Kenny from Genertik who also produced with Miss Martini the video for the other single Malice And Desire in 2007.

This band has a really strong image and is working on creating a great live show, which will incorporate their music, ballet, bondage and their performances, it has been challenging to do it without major production help, but the idea is solid and progressive and a major label backing would greatly improve the speed and quality of both performance and music productions in the future.
