TodoMal

TodoMal came to life in what could be described as the year zero of our era — 2020 — conceived by Anglo-Spanish musician / composer Christopher B. Wildman and musician / composer and producer Javier Fernández; two veteran multi-instrumentalists of the Spanish underground scene whose extensive careers span a myriad of projects across a wide range of musical styles.

A product of pure serendipity, TodoMal represents a deeply personal fusion of the solemnity of traditional doom metal and the expansiveness of space rock, interwoven with nuances of ecclesiastical music, classic hard rock, and cinematic soundscapes.

Their debut album, Ultracrepidarian (2021), unfolds a journey through hypnotic compositions, The record evokes the placid yet desolate moorlands of their headquartes in northern Alcarria and the región of Matarraña (Teruel) — two emblematic landscapes of Spain’s so-called “emptied lands”.

With A Greater Good (2023), the duo crafted a collection of what they describe as “dark songs”, building upon the seeds planted in Ultracrepidarian and evolving into a complex, dense and unclassifiable album. The record appeared in several “best of the year” lists and received outstanding reviews from publications and webzines including Mondo Sonoro, No Clean Singing, Zwaren Metalen and Metal Revolution, among others. Following high demand, the physical edition sold out, leading to a second pressing.

Fuelled by this momentum, and with a growing audience eager to experience the band live, the duo entered the studio during 2024–2025 to begin recording their next chapter. At the same time, they expanded into a five-piece live ensemble, joined by Javier Félez (guitar, Teitanblood, Graveyard, Balmog), Javier “Bud” Martínez (drums, Dejadeath, Jade, Ktulu) and Cecilia Tallo (keyboards / vocals, Maud the Moth), creating an immersive audio-visual show. This development sparked the enthusiasm of promoters, leading the band to perform at renowned festivals such as Be Prog! My Friend (2024, Barcelona), Under The Doom Fest (2025, Lisbon), Frantic Fest (2025, Abruzzo, Italy) and Okkult Sessions (2025, Barcelona), sharing the stage with artists such as Candlemass, My Dying Bride and Dødheimsgard, among many others.

With their sights now firmly set on 2026 and their forthcoming release — and with new festival appearances across Europe, among which “Resurrection Fest” already confirmed — TodoMal prepare to embark on the next chapter of their journey.
