Malignity is a death metal band from Ludwigshafen, Germany, active since 2014. Their sound delivers uncompromising death metal brutality from the industrial Rhine-Neckar region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Malignom were a death/thrash metal band from Vienna, Austria, formed in March 1991 by Bobby Spieß. The band released their first demo 'Infecting Virulency,' played shows through summer 1991, briefly dissolved, and then reformed later that same year with a revised lineup including Hannes Lenhardt on drums and Georgie Pfitzner on bass. Their lyrical themes ran toward black humour, social criticism, and confrontational content.
Malignus Morttvss is a singular one-man project that began in raw black metal territory before mutating into a deliberately abrasive collision of noise and goregrind, self-released through the project's own MASMORRA Independent imprint. Albums like "WHITENOISE" and "FUCK LOVE" reveal an artist more interested in sonic provocation and controlled chaos than genre conventions, operating entirely outside the mainstream underground.
A short-lived São Paulo act, Maligun worked the intersection of metalcore and traditional heavy metal during their active years between 2013 and 2019, drawing on the city's rich lineage of heavy music while incorporating the rhythmic aggression of the metalcore idiom. The band remained independent throughout their existence before eventually splitting up.
