Matt Malone is a singer/songwriter from the goldfields of regional Victoria. Malone’s commanding baritone and masterfully crafted songs have been likened to country icon - Johnny Cash, African-American evangelist - Blind Willie Johnson, poetic folk troubadour - Leonard Cohen and dark lyrical princes - Nick Cave & Mark Lanegan.
Malone has earned a cult following for his preacher-like performances, in which he invokes a fire and brimstone vision of redemption, suffering and hope, whose work has received considerable peer and critical acclaim.
'★★★★, (Matt Malone is) cracked, haunted, fantastic.'
- The Sydney Morning Herald
‘Whatever juju, alchemy or disturbed darkness that made Jim Morrison put on a pair of leather trousers & shock the world out of its apathy… Matt has got it!’
- Kim Salmon (The Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, The Surrealists)

'Matt Malone deals in dark, heavy and sombre music... his voice a gothic, stentorian and preacher-like baritone. There are obvious touchstones like Nick Cave, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Johnny Cash who he absorbs into his death blues soundtrack of rattling strings, ghostly sounds and strummed wasteland ballads.'
