Norwegian gothic rock act MALICE IN WONDERLAND is set to reopen the gates to one of their most iconic songs. On December 2, the band releases a newly reimagined 2025 version of “Lucifer’s Town” — a cult classic that once defined their early sound and became a phenomenon during the golden era of MySpace.

Originally released in 2005, “Lucifer’s Town” quickly gained traction worldwide, earning over one million MySpace plays at a time when the platform served as a global discovery hub for dark alternative music. The track became a cornerstone of the band’s identity, blending cinematic melancholy with soaring hooks and the signature dark romanticism that has followed Malice In Wonderland throughout their career.

Now, 20 years later, the band revisits the anthem with a modern edge. The 2025 version is newly arranged, newly recorded, and shaped for the band’s milestone anniversary, bringing out the raw power, emotional depth, and atmospheric drama that fans have carried with them for two decades.

“We wanted to honour what the song meant to us and to the fans, while giving it the energy, grit and production it always deserved,” says frontman Chris Wicked.
“This isn’t only nostalgia — it’s resurrection.”

The new release marks a key moment in the band’s ongoing 20-year anniversary celebration, which includes re-recordings, archival content, and new material highlighting the legacy of Malice In Wonderland’s golden era.
With its blend of haunting melodies, cinematic tension, and nocturnal beauty, “Lucifer’s Town (2025)” stands as both a tribute to the past and a bold step into the future — a perfect entry point for long-time followers and new listeners discovering the band for the first time.

“Lucifer’s Town (Revisited)” will be available on all major streaming platforms on December 2, 2025.

ABOUT MALICE IN WONDERLAND
Norway’s premier goth n’ roll band, Malice In Wonderland, first made waves on the local scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s, before exploding onto the international stage with their 2005 debut album.

Fronted by the enigmatic Chris Wicked, the band quickly built a global following, with fan clubs spanning the world. They toured across Europe and Asia, shared stages with legends like Def Leppard, and appeared in numerous TV shows and productions. Their breakout single “Lucifer’s Town” became a viral hit on MySpace, racking up over a million plays and cementing their cult status.

Now, two decades after their debut—and ten years since their farewell tour—Norway’s ultimate goth n’ roll cult is back, louder and darker than ever.
