There are three bands that use the name Malpractice:

1.) Formed 1994 in Kouvola Finland. After a few line-up changes Malpractice steadied to Joonas Koto and Tuomo Pärttö on guitars, Miikka Tikka on drums, Petri Vuorio on bass and Mika Uronen on vocals. Malpractice started out as a thrash-metal band but soon after the release of their first self-financed CD-EP “Memorial” (May 1996), thrash influences were cast aside by more melodic and progressive elements. In December of the same year Malpractice released their second CD-EP “Frozen” which soon gained interest in Germany, France and Italy. Both EP’s are now out of print.

The spring of 1997 ended an era in Malpractice. Bass player Petri Vuorio left the band. His replacement Jonas Mäki joined the band and gave Malpractice a needed kick in the ass. New great material was composed in a very short period of time. Still without a recording deal Malpractice started to record a full-length album in March 1998 at Music Bros studio in Imatra Finland with engineer Miitri Aaltonen. The sessions were finally over in August and the first full-length album “Of Shape And Balance” was out in September. One of the record companies who showed interest in Malpractice’s masterpiece was Finnish Mastervox Records. After a few months of negotiations Malpractice signed a deal with Mastervox. In the fall of 1998 Tuomo Pärttö left Malpractice. He was replaced by former Cornucopia guitarist Sami Pesonen. Next one to leave was drummer Miikka Tikka. Their ways parted in May 1999. He was replaced by Toni Paananen.
