Legendary US metal band MALICE signed a worldwide deal with SPV/Steamhammer. Original members Jay Reynolds (guitars), Mick Zane (guitars) and Mark Behn (bass) entered the Silver Cloud Studios in Los Angeles together with new singer James Rivera (HELSTAR, VICIOUS RUMORS, SEVEN WITCHES, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM) and new drummer Pete Holmes (BLACK 'N BLUE, MSG) to re-record some of their classics plus four new songs. The producer is Joe Floyd (Warrior) who also was involved in producing records of BRUCE DICKINSON and ROB HALFORD. The album is scheduled for a May release.
"We were all amazed at the great crowd response and turn out for the gigs we played in 2011 , and it feels great to have a well known label like SPV behind us, be in the studio with a veteran line up and have a killer producer...... there will no longer be an abcence of Malice," comments Jay Reynolds.
The band can`t wait to go on tour and dates will be announced soon. Bass player Robert Cardenas (AGENT STEEL) , who also recorded the new tracks in the studio, will step in for Mark Behn on the live front.
