Pygmy Children reissue their 1994 debut album “Malignant” as “Malignant: Redux” via Re:Mission Entertainment. The label describes the release as electro-industrial and EBM, with a release date of October 2, 2026.
The original “Malignant” was recorded by Brian Roper and Pete Roper at Hit And Run Studios in Rockville, Maryland, between September and December 1993, and released on CD via Noname/Noslogan Productions in 1994 with an 11-track listing running from “Shock V3.1” through “File Regarding…”. “Malignant: Redux” adds five further tracks to that original running order. Re:Mission Entertainment has not published a description of what the “Redux” edition changes beyond its expanded tracklist; that detail is not yet confirmed.
