About
The charismatic frontman of Malice In Wonderland, Chris Wicked, released his debut solo album through Apollon Records in 2021, earning critical acclaim and national airplay. His deep, melancholic lyrics, sung in his native tongue, are backed by a band of seasoned musicians with extensive international touring experience.
Inspired by iconic acts like Tiamat, The Cult, Paradise Lost, Nick Cave, and David Bowie, Chris brought together an impressive lineup for the album, inviting friends such as Gaahl (Gaahls Wyrd, Gorgoroth), Hoest (Taake, Gorgoroth), Niklas Kvarforth (Shining), and V'gandr (Helheim) to collaborate. The result is a breathtaking and powerful sound.
In 2024, 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 captivated fans with the Dark Nordic Folk single, 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭, that garnered outstanding reviews. Later that year, Chris unveiled “𝑼𝒕𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒈,” the first single from the band’s upcoming EP “𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒔 & 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑯𝒐𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔.”
Collaborating closely with multi-instrumentalists 𝐄𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥 𝐒æ𝐭𝐞𝐫 and 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐧, Chris continues to deliver music that defies expectations, cementing his reputation as an artist who thrives on reinvention.
