mala herba

Mala Herba is a producer, sound artist, queer activist, and member of the Oramics collective. Their practice is deeply rooted in Slavic village music, queering archives, and healing rituals.

In 2024 they released their sophomore album Wounded Healer (via White Forest Inc) featuring a wide range of collaborators including Resina, Aleksandra Słyż, Rafał Ryterski, and Paula Rebellato of Rakta. Though as a communal resource, the album deals with the topic of healing and the possibility of collective solace through music and ritual.

In 2022 they released the EP titled Niedola / Woe. It is an audio-visual collaboration between Mala Herba and Sven Harambašić. Mala Herba’s tracks escape genres, weaving ritualistic rhythms, dark lore, and wailing vocals with rough, industrial sounds.

In 2021, they debuted their first LP album titled Demonologia. It was very well received by international critics. Nick Roseblade from The Quietus called the album “a disco at a witchy ritual”.

Their music is inspired by dark EBM, industrial and experimental electronic sounds as well as traditional Polish music. This mixture makes all their performances exceptional in the contemporary electronic music scene.

They have performed at festivals across Europe like Whole (DE), Pop Fest (AT), Bent Fest (UK), Tauron Nowa Muzyka (PL), Fekete Zaj (HU), Fluff Fest (CZ), and clubs like Urban Spree (Berlin), De School (Amsterdam), Underdogs (Prague), MS Stubnitz (Hamburg), Elektrowerkz (London), Pogłos (Warsaw) and Miscellenia (AU).
