Malachia

Malachia burst in to the Christian Metal scene in 1984 and were very well received with a metal style very reminiscent of early Queensrÿche. The bands very first full release was on vinyl only and very limited to only around 200 copies and was titled 'Under The Blade' this vinyl release is nearly impossible to find today unless you are willing to pay high dollar for a copy on the very rare occasion one pops up on the market. It was also released in limited quantity on cassette, but never on CD.
Up next the band would release what could be considered their swan song with the full length album 'Red Sunrise' that was available on vinyl and cassette tape only, never officially on CD. All the while the band was playing live anywhere and everywhere they possibly could. Playing many shows including making some festival appearances like the Metal Mardi Gras show in California in 1987.
Up next and what would ultimately be the last fully released and marketed track from the band would be a song that made its way on to a very high profile compilation at the time called California Metal II. Which the band actually recorded under the band name Vision at the time recording a track entitled 'Runaway'. This compilation was headed up by veteran musicians and producers John and Dino Elefante who gave the track a very polished and professional feel.
After that the band would attempt to continue on, but alas the band would ultimately come to an end before ever officially releasing any music again. The band had actually recorded but never released quite a few more demo tracks over the next few years, but those tracks were never released.
