Malicide is an independent, American thrash metal band from South Texas and North Georgia that originated in the post-industrial, hellscape wasteland of Detroit, Michigan. After recording several demos and touring locally the band headed back into the studio to record what would become their first, full-length, self-titled album.

Their debut, self-titled release has been called "monstrous and heavy as hell, yet musical and catchy", "all killer, no filler", "hard and heavy, riff-driven, mid-tempo thrash" and "a 55 gallon drum of testosterone loaded into a nuclear warhead injected directly into your veins".
