On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN’s fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting Death Metal.<\/p>\n

Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band’s opener “Red, Waiting”. What follows is a flurry of murk and madness – blast beats pummel against churns of distortion. The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN’s palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.<\/p>\n

The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre – each of the album’s tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming – internal and external, a true end of everything. <\/p>\n
