MALPRACTICE Begins Work On New Material

June 17, 2009

MALPRACTICE, the Finnish progressive metal band featuring members of TO/DIE/FOR, MANITOU, OMNIUM GATHERUM and REVERSION, has issued the following update:

"After a short break, we are back in business! We're happy to inform you that at the very moment MALPRACTICE is writing new material. Jope [Joonas Koto, guitar] and Toni [Paananen, drums] got together on May 21 to check out some riffs and to jam, just to see how much material do we have to start with. And things started to happen really fast. After 1 ½ hours at the rehearsal place, we had our very first new MALPRACTICE song done! During that two-day session, we recorded about 10 minutes of material and so far everything rocks like hell! So it looks really good… The new stuff is pretty odd, but if you like the 'Triangular' stuff, you will definitely love the new stuff as well! We are on fire!

"At some point we are gonna release (yes, yet another…) diary about writing, arranging, rehearsing and finally (sometime in the future) recording the new stuff, so you can follow how we progress in making of the next MALPRACTICE album. But please be patient; it still might take a little while before it's in stores…"

MALPRACTICE's third album, "Triangular", was released in March 2008 via Spinefarm Records. The CD was recorded at Astia studio with producer Anssi Kippo and Southeast Sounds in Karhula with Teemu Aalto. It was mixed by Anssi Kippo.

While still progressive and melodic, "Triangular" also saw the return of some of the thrashier elements in MALPRACTICE and combined with the virtuoso skills of the new vocalist Aleksi Parviainen, "Triangular" takes MALPRACTICE to a whole new level of excellence, making the listener think about QUEENSRŸCHE meeting MEGADETH meeting DREAM THEATER. Much like their heroes, MALPRACTICE certainly know their way around different moods and atmospheres, ranging from "Waves"' fragile tranquility to "Triangular"'s instrumental extravaganza and "Symmetry"'s almost poppy choruses.
