MALIGNANCY (USA/NY)
Although founded in 1992 by vocalist Danny Nelson, MALIGNANCY is well known by
their MORTICIAN connection afforded through guitarists Roger Beaujard and
Desmond Tolhurst. The Yonkers act came together when Nelson united with
guitarist Javier Velez and drummer Kevin Chamberlain as CARCINOGEN. Chamberlain
soon made his exit as an all new line-up, now billed MALIGNANCY, saw the
recruitment of second guitarist Larry Remlin, bass player Frank Madiao and
ASPHYXIATION drummer John Marzan. However Remlin would break ranks swiftly as
did his fleeting replacement Tom Dorney. The April 1993 'Eaten Out From Within'
demo bore a MALIGNANCY line-up of Nelson, Velez, Madiao and Marzan. In July 1994
the band, with second guitarist Ralph Blanco installed, recorded a single song
demo cassette billed 'Rotten Seed' at Databank Studios. Once again the band
fractured with just Nelson remaining. Undaunted he built around himself a fresh
cadre of drummer Roger Beaujard, guitarist Ron Kachnic and former INCANTATION
bassist Kevin Hughes to cut a January 1996 rehearsal tape. Further changes
marked the brief introduction of guitarist Lance Snyder and bassist Desmond
Tolhurst for a 1997 demo session 'Ignorance Is Bliss'. This tape secured a deal
with United Guttural Records who promptly tested the market with an untitled
1998 promotional CD. Signing to United Guttural Records MALIGNANCY put out their
debut full-length album, 'Intrauterine Cannibalism', in 1999.
