About Me

Greetings Metal Maniacs!
Welcome to the Vigilante Land of Hellriders, Tarot Dealers, Sinister Doubles and Stellar Masters!
Plug in and hang on! MALICE are straight ahead balls to the wall power rock at it's finest! MALICE earned their bones in the early 1980’s playing around the local Los Angeles rock scene eventually taking over the United States and Europe by storm. MALICE lit up metal on Sunset Strip like no other band could and was clearly levels above the competition. They have toured the world with Slayer, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Queensryche, Great White, and Wasp playing sold out clubs and arena's.
MALICE was signed to Atlantic Records and released their debut record “In the Beginning” produced and engineered by Michael Wagener (Malice, Dokken, Skid Row, Kings X). The first Malice album delivers a presentation of sound and material that rivals Judas Priest with rock anthems like “Stellar Masters”, and “Godz of Thunder”. Their tune “No Haven for the Raven” clearly stands along side any great heavy metal classic. To add more fuel to the fire, Malice was cast as themselves in the movie "Vice Versa" and released a song for the movie soundtrack entitled "Crazy in the Night."Starring Judge Reinholt (Beverly Hills Cop, Fast Times at Ridgemount High) and Fred Savage (The Wonder Years).
In 1987, MALICE released “License to Kill” which was produced and engineered by famed rock producer Max Norman (Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, Malice, Megadeth, Y&T, Loudness). “License to Kill” is a Heavy Metal Masterpiece from front to back! Max Norman’s Studio Mastery on this record inspired such blistering tunes as “Breathin’ Down Your Neck” and "Chain Gang Women". “License to Kill” stands as MALICE'S last and finest piece of work to date.
MALICE split up in the early 1990's and soon after Guitarist Mick Zane and bassist Mark Behn recruited long time Portland friend and drummer Pete Holmes (Michael Schenker Group, Black n’ Blue ) and new singer “Mark Isom” and became "MONSTER." MONSTER'S sound is heavy and melodic like Lynch Mob exploring dynamic Blues Rock leaving the Molten Metal to MALICE. In 1992, MONSTER ( Ex members of MALICE ) released their debut CD entitled “Through the eyes of the World" produced and engineered by Max Norman and Pat Regan ( Deep Purple, Ian Gillan ).
In 2007, MALICE reunited for a sold out reunion show at Paladino's Club in Los Angeles and really ripped it up for their fans and long time supporters! Be sure to look out for some killer DVD footage soon and Beware! The Heavy Metal Godz of Thunder are back and ready to rock your town into the ground!
