As they continue to
investigate the progressive realms of the heavy Metal Universe, New Jersey-based
Sensory Records confirms that Finnish quintet, Malpractice, HAS become
the newest addition in the label's roster.
Formed in 1994 in
Kouvola, Finland by guitarist, Joonas Koto, Malpractice started out as a
thrash act. Following the release of self-financed debut MCD, Memorial,
in 1996, the band cast aside their most Aggressive influences and opted to
explore a more progressive direction, which was apparent on their second MCD,
Frozen, released later the same year. Without a deal in place,
Malpractice recorded an album's worth of material in March 1998, which
became their first full length album, Of Shape And Balance, released via
Mastervox Records in September of that year.
 
Following a brief
Hiatus, and reactivation in 2004, Malpractice signed with
Spinefarm/Universal. This also began the band's cooperation and friendship with
producer/engineer, Anssi Kippo at Astia Studio (Children Of Bodom, Sinergy,
Norther, etc.), with the recording of their second full-length, Deviation
From The Flow, and into the 2008 release of their third album,
Triangular, which not only expanded their forward-thinking style, also
reinvigorated some of their early thrash elements. In 2010 the band
self-produced their own outstanding demo, which eventually became their fourth
album, Turning Tides. As their contract with Spinefarm was expired, the
band sought new pastures, and given the more melodic and progressive nature of
their style, found Solace in Laser's Edge offshoot, Sensory Records, who is now
preparing Turning Tides for proper worldwide release this
Summer.
 
Turning
Tides represents
Malpractice at their Absolute best, combing intricate progressive Metal
with catchy melodies topped with excellent musicianship and brilliant vocal
harmonies, and a must-hear for fans of Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater
and Megadeth.
 
Final release details
on Turning Tides will be released in the near future.
