MIDNIGHT MALICE is a Heavy Metal band from Toronto. Playing music heavy in the vein of WASP/JUDAS PRIEST/MOTORHEAD. Formed in 2009 after founding members CALEB BEAL and HUNTER RAYMOND relocated from their hometown of Calgary, Alberta to Toronto. The band started recruiting a bass player and 2nd guitar player to complete the lineup. DEVON KERR was soon playing 2nd guitar with CHRIS NASCIMBEN on bass guitar. This lineup recorded a 3 song demo, this demo soon gained attention along with support from FENRIZ (DARKTHRONE) as a band to take note of. During this time MIDNIGHT MALICE played many shows in Toronto sharing the stage with many other Canadian Hard Rock and Metal bands like CAULDRON, SKULL FIST, EXCITER, DIEMONDS as well as the American band HOLY GRAIL. Gaining momentum with their wild live shows earned the band the tag Toronto’s Bad Boys of Metal. In 2011 MIDNIGHT MALICE was flown back to their hometown of Calgary to headline the NOCTIS 4.20 METAL FEST. The show was very well received, the band has been invited back to play the Calgary Metalfest in June of 2014. As of 2012 MIDNIGHT MALICE has grown to headlining their own local shows to much success. The band has also started playing out of town with shows in Ottawa and Montreal, as well as other areas of Ontario and Quebec. DEVON KERR Eventually decided to amicably leave the band to form a new band with former members of SKULL FIST, a band of which both CALEB and CHRIS had also previously played for. CHRIS NASCIMBEN moved to 2nd guitar and rounding out the lineup with fellow Calgarian JARED VERLAGE on bass.
