The Story
The Fine Art of Self Destruction will be reissued in early 2023 with a bonus disc of the entire album re-recorded and reimagined. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.Following his teenage years in the pioneering hardcore band Heart Attack and his 20s fronting the wild and beloved D Generation, Malin took a cue from his songwriting heroes and was ready for a chance to stand alone.The record was recorded over six days in New York City, live and raw. Produced by Ryan Adams and released in 2003,The Fine Art of Self Destruction "wasn't named for drug or alcohol abuse," says Malin. "It was more about a personal wreckage when I looked back on my life, from my parents' divorce to failed relationships, broken up bands, dropping out of school, crashing cars, breaking things. It was more of a spiritual journey in some sense."
