Dark, moody, rock and roll. Fuzzy guitars, bluesy grooves, sweat, and a gothic lyric.
Drawing inspiration from Tito & Tarantula, All Them Witches and North Mississippi Allstars and writing with subjects of personal expectations and failures to exploring the more pernicious and misunderstood that “lives in the shadows,” Malkasian continues to explore the macabre with a seekers mantra and Dark Blues approach.
Malkasian is a Dark, Moody, Rock and Roll ensemble from Denver, Colorado. Compelled by the energy and subversive nature of Heavier and Alternative music like The Smashing Pumpkins, Danzig as well as Alternative Blues like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Morphine their self-titled debut was released through Dead Industry Records in 2014 and has since released one full-length and two EPs. Themes like expectations, depression, fear, yearning, love and frustration define these records and sound that channel their unique blend of Heavy Blues and Dark Alternative music.
“The Macabre (Live) represents the culmination of eight years’ work between Malkasian and frequent co-collaborator Nick Gray of Noiseheads. Their bluesy, fuzzy hard rock is energetic and packed with hooks, something that their 2021 single Vampire has in spades. While Pyre offers seven minutes of proggy emotional exploration to close out the occasion, guitars drowning in feedback and squalling solos.” – Will Marshall
