Band information

Baraka was a thrash/death metal band from Sydney. The band formed in 1998 with an early line-up that included McMahon and Maloney on both bass and vocals, plus guitarists Jonathon Talan and James Zulic. The band released two demos/EPs and played live often but in 2002 Baraka decided to take a break to write and consolidate its direction.

Talan left to develop a solo project that eventually became Transcending Mortality and the band began playing live as a four piece but Maloney resigned from the band in May and Patrick Oriss of Dynasphere replaced him. Baraka changed its name to The Black Arts Movement in June 2004.
