The Legend that is "Malachai". The first album by the band Ideal Cynics. Powerful progressive rock from the six piece band out of Commerce, Texas. Intense music with a story to tell. Diving deep into the human psyche of a boy growing up, in the shadow of a memory he is forced to compete with, while striving to find his place in a world he never asked to be a part of. Tender and focused, appreciative and grandiose, brutal and insignificant. Malachai is a group of works that screams to be heard in a world that is too preoccupied to notice anything that doesn't present itself like a ball peen sledgehammer swung with ferocity and purpose.
