The album received fantastic reviews all over the globe as the band's mix of goth, glam and melodic hard rock seemed to find a diverse audience.

    After the album release the quartet, spun around the charismatic frontman Chris Wicked, started touring.

They even toured China together with Finland's Negative. Malice In Wonderland is renowned as a great energetic live act, always giving their all!

    The Norwegians gave us some heavy action-rock were Chris Wicked walked on the stage like the man of the house and simply got the crew a new victory at their working field - Desibeli
    "They were and are my Trash Fest favourites with their clever balance between melody and noise" - Fantamusica

    MALICE IN WONDERLAND have had their songs listed on international radio, like the single “City Angel”, mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Ozzy Osbourne), they have performed on PLAN Finland's tv gala for more than 1 million viewers and also fronted their biggest charity tv show Red Nose Day amongst many, many other highlights.

It's been a long time since singer Chris Wicked started the band in the late 90's, then as the synth player. When later Chris went from synth to singing he quit all other bands to solely focus on MALICE IN WONDERLAND. "It's been a wild ride and we have achieved a lot and with this new album we show what Malice In Wonderland is all about ; powerful arena rock with allot of atmosphere and attitude! It feels like a fresh new start but I feel we still got a lot to prove.”

With a new record full of bombastic high energetic quality rock songs, the foursome are eager to prove that they indeed are a force to reckon with!

 The Royal Brigade is available world wide as a digital download and as a CD.
