Reunited MALICE Featuring JAMES RIVERA: More KEEP IT TRUE Footage Posted Online

Reunited Los Angeles heavy metal legends MALICE performed at the Keep It True XIV festival, which was held April 29-30, 2011 at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Knigshofen, Germany. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be viewed below.

MALICE's current lineup includes three original members Mick Zane on guitar, Jay Reynolds on guitar and Mark Behn on bass alongside Pete Holmes (BLACK 'N BLUE, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP) on drums and James Rivera (HELSTAR, VICIOUS RUMORS, SEVEN WITCHES, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM) on vocals.

In a brand new interview with KNAC.COM, Zane stated about MALICE's present incarnation, "Pete's been out on the road with MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP for the last ten years and he's doing some dates with BLACK 'N BLUE. They have a new record out and they're playing with WHITESNAKE and TWISTED SISTER in Baltimore this summer at some huge outdoor festival. We're excited to have James Rivera come in and do these shows with us. He did a great job on the VICIOUS RUMORS 'Warball' record, so we're anxious to play on stage with him and grateful he was able to join us at such short notice. Brian Allen, who did our last reunion show, is now singing with VICIOUS RUMORS and we even approached Tim 'The Ripper' Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) at one point, who I heard is now with DIO DISCIPLES. James Rivera is the guy for now."

When asked if MALICE is planning to play some U.S shows, Zane told KNAC.COM, "Yes, that's the plan. We're going to see how these [European] shows go and then start working on this new record with [producer] Max Norman. But yeah, we'd love to play some shows on the west coast. Gina Zamperelli concert promotions, who used to book the Perkins Palace shows, is looking to get back into the business. So maybe we can hook up with W.A.S.P. or WARRIOR again and play some shows around L.A. We have some killer new songs in the can and we're really stoked at the thought of getting back in the studio and releasing a new MALICE record. We released a new CD of rare and unreleased tracks last year on Retrospect Records that's been doing very well. Everyone's really going to like the new stuff. We're not going to play any new material for these shows, just the classics."
