Rob said " I've always had a lot of time for MALEFICE, they have a great work ethic and that's one of the key factors in any band for me. The new material is a further bold step in the evolution of the band and is very exciting indeed. This is a band that is not afraid to push the boundaries and at the same time push themselves, stand well back because this is gonna go off like a bomb!"

Malefice front-man Dale Butler also commented on the signing "We're really stoked to be a part of the Transcend family. After the first meeting we realised we had found a company that matched our own ambitions, and shared our same love and absolute dedication to music in all it's forms. Expect big things from Malefice and Transcend this year, we're coming for you."
