Band information
In Malice’s Wake is a four-piece band from Melbourne that plays thrash metal with a melodic edge. The band was formed in 2002 by both the Farrugia brothers, with David Lowes (of Envenomed) on guitar and Ben Withers on bass. After releasing a demo in 2003, Withers departed from the line-up to be replaced by ex-Legion bassist David Graham. In 2005, the band released the EP "Blackened Skies". With an album planned for a 2007 release, it wasn't until the following year when Eternal Nightfall was released, with the band embarking on numerous interstate shows across the East Coast shortly after.
In 2009, Withers left the band to be replaced with Luke Blaso (also ex-Legion), and the band released their sophomore effort The Thrashening which was met with critical acclaim and is considered the band's best work. After an enourmous tour of Australia and New Zealand supporting the album, In Malice's Wake closed off arguably their most fruitful year of activity by performing at the Sonic Forge Festival and supporting German thrashers Destruction in November.
