Get Down

Malhavoc ‎– Get Down

This Canadian JUNO nominated record was produced by Dave “Rave” Ogilvie in 1994 just after he had finished producing the insane sessions for Marilyn Manson’s ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR album. Yet somehow this independent Malhavoc album released thru Universal/Cargo more then a year before ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR. This was the beginning of the relationship between Rave Ogilvie and Malhavoc main man James, that continued for seven years, right up until their work on Japan’s electropunk Mad Capsule Market’s Pulse EP in the spring of 2001. Their production teamwork includes famous remixes for NIN and MOTLEY CRUE and four infamous unreleased remixes for TOOL and a few other artists.

This concept album GET DOWN is about a rock star, MCJC who is having trouble understanding his fans who misinterpret his art. Based on factual incidents that happened to MALHAVOC and many other artists and bands, this fictitious story unintentionally sounds similar to the Kurt Cobain story, who like the record’s MCJC, in a real weird coincidence, killed himself right after GET DOWN was finished and before it was released. This album also predates the Columbine High School Massacre which also has a lot of similarities to MALHAVOC’s previous album PREMEDITATED MURDER.
