Malefice

Jägermeister recently hosted its latest “Ice Cold” studio session, where rock bands and icons meet for the first time in a recording studio and “break the ice” by working on a track together. The “Ice Cold” studio session featured British heavy metal band MALEFICE and football legend Marcus Hahnemann and took place at London’s famous Strongroom Studios.

Hahnemann, the U.S. international goalkeeper who is currently playing for Everton, is a well-known heavy metal fan, but it was the first time he had ever taken his passion for metal into a recording studio.

Said Hahnemann: “[It was] a great day. I wanted to come down and just see what recording would be like, piecing a track together. I had an awesome time.”

Added MALEFICE vocalist Dale Butler: “[The session went] really well. It exceeded expectations. We knew Marcus was going to be good, but he was actually better than even he firstly anticipated.”

The video for “Omega” can be seen below. The clip features footage that was taken by Daniel Bache, Edd Haddon and Jeremy Haddon and edited by Mark Smith at The Dark Box. Source: Blabbermouth.net

METAL BLADE has issued the following:

Track with Marcus Hahnemann goes live on February 1, 2012!

MALEFICE have been added to the upcoming Rise To Remain and Heaven Shall Burn UK tour, which kicks off in Birmingham on March 7, 2012.

Dale Butler comments: “To say we’re looking forward to bringing the new sound, new show, new Malefice out on the road would be a massive understatement. There’s a whole new side which has been developing since the end of last year, and when you hear the recent track recorded with Marcus Hahnemann for Jagermeister next week, you’ll see just what we mean.”
