Malediction

I tried the search-function to find a Malediction-topic, but there seems to be none.
I have just recently checked out this band myself. A couple of friends mentioned Malediction as one of the best french bands on another forum, so I bought the Esclave du vice-CD.
Simply put, brilliant heavy metal with great vocal and superb vocalmelodies all the way through.

So how come this band is hardly mentioned?

Is the debut as good as Esclave du vice? If some of you know where to find the CD-version of the debut for an ok price, please tell me.

my personal opinion is that the first CD is much better,and i take it i would be pretty objective saying the first CD is much catchier too.

I have only heard a couple of songs from the debut. My first impression was that they were good, but not as brilliant as the stuff on Esclave du vice. Of course, I have to hear the whole album many times before making a judgement, but the CD can't be found either at ebay, Stormspell, Shadow Kingdom, Hell Bent For Records or Karthago, so I have to keep on searching. Grrrr...

The first almbum is extremely good.... you could feel this band could deliver GREAT PURE Metal but "Esclave" just blows it away.... The material on "esclave" simply shines.....

For some reason, I've had the debut for a few years, worshipping it, but I still never got around to buying the 2nd album. Bought it now off ebay for $3 recently though and am now waiting for it to arrive here. What an excellent band!

I find the girly vocals quite annoying although the music is quite good.

One of the greatest bands in this decade. Condamnes is perfect album! Didnt get so much into second one yet.

Great band. Always preferred the first album over the second one myself, but that one's really good as well.

I was hoping to release the demo they did prior to the labums on vinyl through Stormbringer many years ago, but nothing ever came out of it. They were too busy working on material for the second album in their own studio or something like that from what I remember. A shame they split up.

Condamnés kills! I just got the other album a few days ago, it's not as ballsy but still very good

Both albums are very good and I have probably spinned the second one even more than the first one.

OK, I won't tell you, but it's probably not what you think
