Malign was a darkwave music project created by Xavier Haight,
that was active from the late 80s to the late 90s and based out of San Francisco Ca.

In 1994 the band appeared on the compilation "The Disease Of Lady Madeline"

released by the US label Anubis Recordings.
In 1996 Xavier released on the same label his sole album "Shatter And Impale"

presenting a mixture of baroque arrangements, industrial beats and gothic atmosphere.
All the songs were composed by Xavier with assistance from William Faith (Faith And The Muse)

and Brad Beaver, who provided some additional drum arrangements.
Xavier also DJ'ed / managed several goth / industrial nightclubs throughout the 90s in San Francisco,
with the most notorious being "The House Of Usher" and "Rodericks Chamber".
By 2009 Xavier was working on new material but since then no further news have surfaced about the project.
