Bristol Local Legends

3rd Band: The Malefic Grip

Members:

-Helen: Guitarist / Backing Vocals

-Liam: Bassist / Lead Vocals

Former Members:

-Evan: Guitarist, Played on EP

-Tim: Drummer, Played on EP

Sludge Metal, Doom Metal, Stoner Rock

Based in Bristol, the band have been going on since the late 2010s and as a duo, show no signs of slowing down, bringing together heavy riffs alongside a big fuck you to our glorious leaders. I saw The Malefic Grip live for the first time at New Year NOISEFEST at The Exchange back on the 15th January 2023. They were early on in the bill and playing in the legendary basement that was completely packed. I was right at the back of the room when their set started and I swear that the drummer was just going off and playing these crazy noisy fills which really struck a chord with me. However as I moved closer to front I discovered that there wasn’t a drummer at all and in-fact the band were just standing there playing in a menacing fashion while a drum machine was playing these crazy rhythms, I was stunned by this! This was exactly what I wanted from this kind of festival and I thought that it was some kind of Black Metal without the corpse paint as Liam and Helen were screaming their heads off. Later on in the day after all of the acts had finished, I saw Liam at the bar and spoke to him, telling him how captured I was by their set. I remember him being very kind and thankful that I enjoyed it and also mentioning that he was inspired by the legendary Stoner Rock band Fu Manchu who I Iove and I went home thinking god, I need to seen them perform again and it wasn’t that long till I did.

Discography

The Malefic Grip have an EP, an album and a few singles under their belt

EP:

-Sludge, Fury and Executioner, 16th June 2018, 3 Tracks

Three distinctively different heavy tracks which display a multitude of ideas in which The Malefic Grip could explore. Bringing together elements of Sludge, Doom and Stoner and putting them into a giant cauldron to see what would come out of it. Great performances across the board here and the production does a good job at displaying them from the lonely guitar in Giles Corey to the groovy bass break near the end of Julius Sleazer.

Favourite Song, Unnatural Selection:

Upon listening to this EP for the first time I almost instantly recognised this song as I had seen it played live by the band many times before. I can see why this song has very much become a staple of their live sets as Liam’s vocals grab your attention from how aggressive the delivery is. This song presents danger in its tone as I imagine it to be a savage beast crawling across the floor, hunting for its next victim. This song also displays how good the drumming is on this EP in its sporadic pounding, it fits the vibe of the song perfectly and feels very anxious about what’s going to happen, like the person trying to hide away from the savage beast.

Album:

-Yesterday’s Problems, Today! 30th April 2021, 7 Tracks

The Malefic Grip returns at a 2-piece band with a little help from their friends, producing a record which is in equal parts hell in its instrumentation and heaven in its vocal refrains which are incredibly memorable. The track listing here is very consistent and works well to establish a mood of dread with great placements of fast as well as slow songs. One of my favourite moments on this album is the song A Neglectful Throne which sounds exactly like its title. It has ones of those vocal refrains on it that I had mentioned earlier on, maybe the best on this album, “Bow and scrape, Crawl and Kneel, Cower and pray, Nothing but a statistic”. Also the drum machine is involved on this record and plays a big role in it but I think that aspect and all of these songs have so much more of impact live that is how I think that this band is best experienced.

Favourite Song, Worms:

The most unique song on the record, it feels like wading through a foggy swamp at the dead of night. It has a very hypnotic feel and satisfying heavy changes which happen seemingly out of nowhere with Liam’s throat singing being the bow on top of this present, tying everything together. Overall this song has a very satisfying feel to it.

Favourite Gig - CBOD presents Warrior Pope + The Malefic Grip + Woodland Creatures, Thursday 27th April 2023:

Maybe the 3rd time I seen The Malefic Grip live, regardless again the room was packed and it was a fantastic night!! This venue is perfect for the band and their sound, they had the crowd in the palm of their hands with songs that are both heavy and hypnotic in their tone. It felt like the band were slowly stepping towards me as the music gradually gains in volume, it was incredibly intense.

Overall, I love this band and they’ve got a great foundation to build upon with incredible potential. They have a lot of special moments in their sound and I hope that more people here them as they put everything into their art.

The following footage from their set at The Louisiana on 30th July 2023. Here they were on the bill with Trench Mouth and Woodland Creatures (celebrating the release of their EP Ancient Whispers).

Had a day in the studio with producer Tony Salter. We recorded a new song - well, we managed to get vocals and guitars down, plus we used a Korg Volca drum machine for the drums. All that’s left is to record bass and then mix it.

St Paul's Carnival, Bristol, 01.07.2023

This was my first visit to St Pauls Carnival since the COVID-19 epidemic. I got regularly to this Afro-Caribbean street festival, mainly for the authentic jerk chicken, but also it’s a great chance to hear some good music, some proper Bristol sounds and it’s also a cheap day out and lots and lots of fun. The whole carnival costs about a £100000 to put on each year and outside of Notting Hill…

Bristol Local Legends

Papal Bull-Shit: Live at the Louisiana

Warrior Pope Live Album Review

By Joe Guatieri

The date was the 25th June 2023, on a quiet night in Bristol The Louisiana was about to be set a light with Warrior Pope playing alongside Doomicidal and Lung. I was at this performance myself and was so excited to witness this event having high hopes as Warrior Pope had always smashed it for me whenever I’ve seen them live. When the time was right, the 4 members of Warrior Pope took the stage of the intimate venue as Dave looked towards the sky with anger in his eyes and the set began.

The first song of their set was Porncratia, a song that I think was the ideal inclusion for the opener. The track has a sobering feel throughout it and perfectly encapsulates what the band is all about with its hypnotic ways that make every moment count.

The band then burst their way into Twenty-Four Popes Later, an immediate rager that never shows any signs of slowing down. I believe that no one can listen to this song without smiling. Warrior Pope can have you laughing your head off at one minute and caught in a trance the next, they have complete control in their powers. Jack Oli, Dave and Katya put absolutely everything into their performances.

Later on in the set they play what I deem to be their best song in Strangled Legacy. Feels like creeping through holy halls of churches at the dead of night and gazing at all of the art that surrounds you, confessing lies to a perfect life. Oli’s steady bass line acts as the guiding light that holds you by the hand to lead you way through as Jack and Katya unleash their potential, all showing how astonishing they are at this craft whilst David stands disgraced as a statue in his vocals with visions in my head of blood pouring down his face. Transmissions from Planet Warrior Pope.

Overall, this was a magical performance from a band that shatters through glass ceilings. I love this band with all of my heart, so this live album sets the perfect example of not only how good of a band Warrior Pope is but also and how great of a venue The Louisiana is. Your attention is always required in order to notice little moments of beauty from Kataya using her bowed cymbal to act as the palate cleanser on Slab Wound to David screaming from afar on Embrace Mortality. This band is one of the best that Bristol has to offer and I know that they can go on to do even better, they’re potential is truly unlimited. I cannot wait to hear more from them and I will continue going to their gigs as long as I live.

My new 4-track EP ‘Dark Patterns’ is finally up on all streaming platforms, including Spotify.

It’s weird to think that these songs are a couple of years old, yet they’re only just coming out. The EP overall is a mixture of punk, indie and pop.

The Spotify link is in my bio - please give it a listen and a share! 🎸

Please give it a listen and a share!
