History

Malignancy (band) Masterful Magazine Death Metal and Black Metal Magazine

Malignancy was formed in February 1992 from the initiative of vocalist Danny Nelson and guitarist Javier Velez. They released their first demo titled Eaten Out From Within in April 1993. After multiple line-up changes and three more demos the band finally secured a deal with United Guttural Records in 1998. Shortly after, the band released their first album, Intrauterine Cannibalism in Spring of 1999. Soon they unleashed a follow up EP entitled Motivated By Hunger. 2001 saw the release of a demo compilation CD, Ignorance Is Bliss, released through Primitive Recordings. It contains material from the Eaten Out From Within, Ignorance Is Bliss, 1998 promo CD and other rehearsal/demo tracks. Cross Species Transmutation was the last EP released on the now defunct United Guttural label. Originally slated to be a full length, the band decided to record what they had and Roger J. Beaujard parted ways. Mike Heller was then added to the malignant fold. A year's worth of teaching and practicing ensued for the band to prep Mike for live gigs. After the release the band began a two-year-long search for a new label, which ended with them signing to Willowtip Records in 2006 and releasing a full-length titled Inhuman Grotesqueries on 7 August 2007. The band released Eugenics, its third full-length, in 2012. Eugenics is the first concept record for the band dealing with the evolution/devolution of a society in the future. The Epilogue 7 inch, released in 2014 by Haunted Hotel Records, rounds out the story told on the Eugenics full length.

Presently the band is working to complete a demo to circulate for a potential new label deal. It will also be available at shows and on the bandcamp page! Malignant Future is coming soon!!
