Band Information

Formed in Perth as a duo of ex-Centaur and Pathogen vocalist Cressal and Curley on guitar, Malignant Monster plays aggressive, melodic death and thrash. The band’s live line-up was completed in late 2005 with the addition of Barton from Pathogen, Stanley from Centaur and Elzer and after the release of the album, most of which was recorded by the original duo of Cressal and Curley. Elzer left the band in early 2007 and was replaced by Dee, Malignant Monster was able to uphold a support gig to God Forbid in March. Since then they have opened for Marduk, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cryptopsy, Morbid Angel, Grave and more. Lynton Cessford from Gallows for Grace replaced Aidan Barton (Pathogen) during 2008 and the band has started work on a full length album for 2010.
