Formed by vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, programmer, and lone mainstay James Cavalluzzo in 1983, Malhavoc began making waves in the tape-trading underground with a slew of extreme metal-infused demos like The Destruction Starts (1983), The Destruction Continues (1984), Age of the Dark Renaissance (1986), and 1988's watershed, Shrine, which still mingled industrial basics with lingering death metal elements and ambient sounds. Malhavoc's first official album, The Release -- featuring Cavalluzzo, guitarists Dave Kiner and Rob Wright, and bassist Steve Jelliman -- finally arrived in 1990; but perhaps even more than his music, Cavalluzzo and co. first drew attention to themselves because of their penchant for shocking on-stage antics, whereupon bandmembers and assorted guests would infamously indulge in everything from theatrical displays of S&M and nudity, to role-playing violence and real self-mutilation. Additional programmer Steve Crowhurst was brought in for 1991's Punishments EP (also featuring a guest spot from Skinny Puppy's David Ogilvie), and this five-piece remained stable through the recording of 1992's Premeditated Murder full-length. The group's next album, 1994's conceptual Get Down, introduced a paired down lineup of Cavalluzzo, Kiner, Jelliman, and real live drummer John Carss, and pretty much closed the book on Malhavoc's heavy metal influences (a trend which had been accelerating with every recent release) in order to embrace a fully techno/ambient industrial style. Cavalluzzo has resurrected Malhavoc for the release of 2004's Human Fly EP (containing covers of songs by the Cramps, the Cure, and Depeche Mode),and for a tour in 2007, and MALHAVOC is back again with a vengeance in 2014.
