Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Malekhamoves was born in a time where too much ideas fitting perfectly the sinister death metal tradition and as the same time, not really in correlation with our other bands Malhkebre and Sektarism which are more respectively black metal and doom/ritual. Musically speaking, of course. Nothing in Malekhamoves could be in antithesis with all we done before. And what we will continue to do. It is another form of expression, surely more primitive, certainly more straightforward.
How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
Our favorite death metal bands are Morbid Angel, Immolation, (old) Grave, Incantation, Bolt Thrower, Angelcorpse, (old) Sinister, and many others... Ancient gods of death/doom like Winter, Paradise Lost (I think about the first album, yes), disembowelment !
Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
Because it is heavy, aggressive, catchy, impressive and dark. Metalheads must buy several copies of each of our releases for sure !
What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media? The first untitled demo was just released by now on pro-tape format on Gospels of Death Records (Apocalypse Command, Purge, Necros...). It will certainly be released on vinyl ep on the following months. It is too early to see reviews, Malekhamoves is still an unknown band for the public/media.
Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
We'll do. Certainly. Even if it was not a priority until now. Bands prove their abilities on stage, nobody can deny it. Too much excellent studio bands lose their special atmosphere in front of public.
What sould labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
Malekhamoves take part on the Apostles of Ignominy congregation, so those knowing it are sure that no artistic compromises will be done.
What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
Plans for the near future are basically the following : to record the first album, and to prove that we are not just another rip-off band releasing poor and uninspired death metal.
Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can listen to it on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, you can buy it at Necrocosm, the official distributor of Gospels of Death.
