Last known line-up, Marco Mangler Radosevich - Vocals Roberto De Vecchio - Guitar Danny Cinicolo - Guitar Gianni Caralla - Bass Carmine Giangiacomo - Drums Maleficarum roots belong to early 1992, when Danny Cinicolo lead guitarist of the historic Italian Death Band EXCIDIUM decides to create a new project band with members from other Italian bands. So he starts to compose new music and search for the band members. Danny contacts his friend Andrea Zanetti, vocals on ICONOCLAST and Andrea is very glad to be part of the project. So together they decide to contact Giovanni Grifoni the drummer of ANGEL DEATH and ask him if he would like to play with MALEFICARUM. Giovanni likes the idea and starts to rehearse with tha band. On the bass, Danny asks his old friend and band member of EXCIDIUM, Gianni Caralla to complete the line-up and so after only one year the band comes out with their first Demo UNBLESSED that soon gets a great success and a distribution deal in Europe by MORBID NOISE PRODUCTIONS, and in U.S.A. by WILD RAGS. UNBLESSED sells thousands of copies and gets a lot of interest in the Underground scene and after a few months the band gets contacted by DEFILED RECORDS for a record deal!! Their first Album ACROSS THE HEAVENS comes out with this label in 1995 and is considered one of the best Italian Death Album of the year.Unfortunatly the band gets some problems with their personal work and so for some year they don't play their music very often! Now after a period of silence the band is back again with their new Album UNDER THE CROSS. That contains 9 tracks of pure technical Death Metal!
