Agonia Records hat die amerikanische Black/Death Truppe MALEFIC THRONE unter Vertrag genommen, auf die Debüt EP vom Januar 2022 soll 2023 das Debütalbum beim neuen Label folgen. Die Band besteht aus Gitarrist Gene Palubicki (Angelcorpse, Perdition Temple), Bassist & Sänger Steve Tucker (Morbid Angel) und Ex-Angelcorpse, Origin und Hate Eternal Schlagzeuger John Longstreth.
"We are very excited to take this monumental step forward with Malefic Throne” sagt John Longstreth. “This bands roots can be traced all the way back to the mid 90s when Gene, Steve, and I first met at Morrisound studios. It's an amazing feeling to see those old conversations and hang outs develop into what will be a true celebration of blistering infernal death metal. Agonia Records understands the true weight and density of what the three of us wish to present to the world and I have no doubt that this union will be absolutely crushing." Palubicki ergänzt: “It is a great feeling to have our work, despite being at essentially its very beginnings, be recognized and now supported through Agonia. It will be quite thrilling to see what reach Malefic Throne might achieve through Agonia Records.” Steve Tucker ist “stoked to get the opportunity to expand on the ideas that we started with Malefic Throne, a big thank you, goes out to Agonia Records for this creative platform. Gene, John and myself will be putting together some chaos for the mind!"
