History & Biography
Malediction out of Middlesbrough was one of the unluckier underground death metal bands. The group was born as Neurosis and that is how it went. Everything started well enough with several demos in 1990 and 1991, and even a split tape with Cradle Of Filth called A Pungent And Sexual Miasma, but past a live album in 1993 through GWB the band has not had much success issuing albums. Something called The Tears That Precede Birth was announced and then cancelled. The group began working with the weak Arctic Serenades and announced a full-length called The Millennium Cotillion there as well only to see that label bite the dust. The band, which had lost most of its members at this point, issued a 2000 demo called Shadows Of Iniquity. An album was then announced for 2002. Nothing.

The band reformed in 2015. A drummer was missing. Mark Fox was replaced by Rik Simpson in 2023. Drum taxi Jon Rushforth also joined this band in 2021. This line-up released an EP called The Soil Throne at the end of 2023. The band was booked for Eradication Festival in Wales for the end of 2024. In the meantime, there was Dead Of Winter Fest in Scotland to begin the year.
