Malón is a Thrash metal band from Argentina that was formed in 1995 by Claudio O'Connor, Antonio Romano, Claudio Strunz (all ex-Hermética members), and Karlos Cuadrado.
Various internal conflicts led to the dissolution of Hermética in late of 1994.Claudio O'Connor, Antonio Romano and Claudio Strunz created Malón, with bassist Carlos Kuadrado. They played their first gig at Cemento. Meanwhile, Ricardo Iorio, the fourth member of Hermética, formed the band Almafuerte, which has a sharp rivalry with Malón.
In 1995, released their first studio album, Espíritu combativo ("Combative Spirit"). Then, released their second album, Justicia o resistencia ("Justice or Resistance"), a year later. In October 1997, the band played at the 20th Anniversary of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, in Ferrocarril Oeste Stadium, with León Gieco, Divididos, Las Pelotas, La Renga, Los Piojos, A.N.I.M.A.L., Attaque 77, Actitud María Marta and Todos Tus Muertos, among others. By the late of that year published the first live album Resistencia viva ("'Live Resistance'").
In early 1998, the band members are split-up, and Claudio O'Connor decides to form a side project, O'Connor, which soon becomes the main priority. Consequently, Malon played by last time in a benefit concert in 1999, and officially Malón are disbanded that year.
