History & Biography
It is a nasty world out there. There are so many Maleficarums running around. This particular Maleficarum hailed from Italy and was formed in 1992 by Danny Cinicolo of Excidium. Danny recruited his vocalist friend Andrea Zanetti. The band issued a demo called Unblessed, which was distributed by Wild Rags Records of California, in 1993 and soon signed up with Defiled Records for a record. The band presented itself as a death metal band that also used keyboards in its sound. Despite the debut record, which was recorded at Mastersound Recording Studio, it was soon back to demoland and a self-titled one in 1997. Yet another independent release called Under The Cross showed up years later in 2002. By this time Zanetti was off to other projects. Marco “Mangler” Radossevich of Cancrena was fronting the band at this juncture.

Unblessed Vol. 1 was a 2016 compilation. Writing out ‘volume’ was perhaps too tiresome for the band and label. Unblessed Vol. 2 was another one and issued in 2020.
