Dubbed by many as the "early Ministry" before the industrial genre was defined circa 1985, Malhavoc's dark themed performance included now legendary stage antics of nude performance, body mutilation (scarification), punishment and persona characterization (MC J.C.).
Band leader James C. has gone beyond his band's realm and on to collaborate on projects with Nine Inch Nails, Mötley Crüe, Monster Magnet, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Jakalope), Tool, Carole Pope (Rough Trade), Voïvod, Ariel and DJ gigs.
