Grandiose Malice's first (and final) album, The Eternal Infernal, will be released on 30th March via Hells Headbangers. Grandiose Malice's The Eternal Infernal is the final will and testament of Steve Childers, otherwise widely known in the metal underground as Tregenda, founding guitarist of the legendary Black Witchery. Worldwide, Childers was revered as a master of stark simplicity, his riffs burrowing immediately into the brain with total violence and force, but underneath all that sturm und drang lay a master songwriter. Sadly, Childers departed this mortal coil on 2nd February 2016.
Before his untimely passing, Childers was working on a new solo-project, and had a demo for it. He sent the demo to a few close friends for feedback, but tragically, it was never released. Within days of his death, Demonic Christ's Dana Duffey (who received the demo tracks from Steve) reached out to Joel Bagley, Steve's best friend, to discuss making sure Steve's work would not be forgotten and be given a proper release on a killer underground label done the way Joel and Dana feel Steve would have wanted it. After shopping labels, they landed on Hells Headbangers, who were eager to be a part of making sure Steve's legacy lived on. Steeped deep in the metal underground, Hells Headbangers were honored to be a part of this release, understanding its significance.
Despite the ultra-violence unleashed across his final recording, Steve is best known by those closest to him as always laidback, endlessly creative, never exhibiting an ego, and truly living and breathing metal! It's important he be known and remembered not just as the intimidating giant tyrant known as Tregenda we all admire and respect, but as the passionate, brilliant, kind, and balls-to-the-wall crazy person he truly was. One of the tracks, "The Messenger", taken from this significant release is already available for streaming and you can hear it in the player below. Link
