MALAKWA is a wild trio with an almost epileptic energy born from a dirty urban-shamanist universe. Their influences are bands such as MINISTRY, ATARI TEENAGE RIOT or SKINNY PUPPY. Mat (vocals/machines) and Flux (guitar/keyboard), began playing together about four years ago and have surrounded themselves with new members which have each participated in « feeding the machine », and, at the present day, Mario 123 (samples, keyboard) is the new active member. Henceforth, MALAKWA stride along the roads in France and elsewhere (China, Switzerland, Germany...), searching for increasingly strong emotions and increasingly extreme shows. They have been able to share gigs with bands like ALEC EMPIRE + NIC ENDO (ex ATARI TEENAGE RIOT), 1969 WAS FINE (PUNISH YOURSELF side project), TAMTRUM, DEAD CELL, STENDECK, WAKS, BAK XIII (Genève CH), GOTHIKA (Tokyo. JPN). Worrying black lights, bones, skulls and voodoo dolls lay scattered on stage. Like a magic spell, «MALAKWA» is a world that belongs to two people who, with the cult of nature, seek to renew the ties with their instincts in a society which no longer allows it and in which they’ve lost their place… For “the one who transforms himself into a beast delivers himself from the pain of being a man.”
Malakwa’s first album «FEED THE MACHINE» available in January 2008, will come out on the Swiss label URGENCE DISK RECORDS.
