Malignant Tumour is a Czech metal band from Ostrava, active since autumn 1991. Founding vocalist Martin "Bilos" Bílek is the only original member; the current lineup also includes bassist Robert Šimek, guitarist Martin Vyorálek and drummer Petr Bohda. The band evolved from Carcass-influenced goregrind through politically charged mincecore to a crust rock'n'roll style reminiscent of Motörhead. Over more than 1,000 shows on three continents, they picked up an Anděl Award in 2010 for the album Earthshaker.
