It's hard to believe, but the Norwegian band Maldito is a hitherto largely undiscovered jewel in the current musical landscape of loud and heavy sounds. Maldito formed in Liverpool in 2015 while the band members studied at the renowned Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Inspired by rock and prog of the 70s, combined with a touch of 90s pop rock, the band has developed their own unique style of music. The band made their breakthrough in the blues and rock scene in 2019, after the release of their first album and their tours through Norway, Germany, England and the USA.The band's live performance, bursting with power, will be remembered by everyone who has seen it. Their rousing energy, the memorable guitar riffs and their songs inspire both the older and the younger generation. "Four guys who make the place shake, but at the same time are exceptionally tight in their blues-based rock format. With the energy of Jack White (White Stripes) and the drive of the Rival Sons, this is undoubtedly a band to look out for in the future." (Blues News) We experience geniuses who develop from blues to rock to metal – and yet there are still these typical, floating pop melody moments. A mixture that is as exciting as it is intelligent, and this music does not have to shy away from any international and historical comparisons with, for example, Blue Oyster Cult, The Beatles or Yes.
