The crushing and atmospheric music of MAL is for any fan of modern extreme metal, formed during Covid-19 quarantine 2020 by Nico Beninato (Kimera Recordings) & Lyn Jeffs (Ingested) in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, after working together on the last two Ingested releases, Where Only Gods May Tread & Call of the Void, the two good friends decided to work on music and create MAL – Forma Vil, a studio project of 6 devastating and powerful tracks fuelled by fundamentals of modern extreme metal blended with contemporary production.
The project began without any concrete vocalist and as the song writing developed so did the concept to evolve MAL into a collective involving musicians across the globe who were also in quarantine and wanted an opportunity to express themselves and their talents on a project during a time when the music industry is being suffocated by the powers that be.
Vocals are handled respectively by Monte Barnard (ex-Alterbeast, ex-Fallujah), Stephen Mashburn (I Am Destruction), Sam Yates (Ingested), Jason Evans (Ingested), Andreas Bjulver Paarup (Cabal) and Lukas Swiaczny (Stillbirth) with guest guitar performances from Rodrigo Mora Campos (Noiseast) and Vance Valenzuela (Vale Of Pnath).
Forma Vil was engineered, mixed and mastered by Nico Beninato (Kimera Recordings).
The artwork was created by Jason Peppiatt (Psycroptic).
