Sketch Malkus-The Jester

On November 19th, 2011, I released “The Jester” album that I’ve been promoting for half a year.  Honestly, this album was made after a long writer’s block and a few things that I was going through.  Around that same time, I drowned my sorrows in bands and artists such as Kyuss, Biohazard, Prong, Helmet, Fugazi, early Nirvana, Big Black, Bad Brains, Electric Wizard, The Meters, Flipper, Alice in Chains and Hank III.  I recorded the album on a Tascam 4-track for that lo-fi feel.

In this case, I feel like I grew from the “Urbandustrial” sound of the “Treacherous Cretins” album and wanted to delve into more melodic ideas but still have the songs be heavy.

The underlying theme of the album is some days you might feel like a joke…other days you get the last laugh.
