Resurrection Through Death Metal. MALICHOR (Mal-i-kor), whose name translates to tainted blood of gods was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2007. Drawing inspiration from legendary black/thrash outfits such as Venom, Celtic Frost, Kreator (early), Slayer (early), Desaster & Destroyer 666, the band set about creating its own unique brand of blackened thrash metal. Although honoring the revered Aussie Black Thrash trademark and leather, bullets & spikes mantra, the band manages to stand out from the crowd with lyrical themes firmly entrenched in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
