Malthusian - The Summoning Bell 2LP
NEW. ARRIVED UNSEALED.
Relapse Records
MALTHUSIAN sign to Relapse Records and unearth their deathly opus, The Summoning Bell.
On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN's fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting Death Metal.
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.
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 to everything.
"We aimlessly search
Giving purpose to the nothing
Creating false comforts within
To hold in an eternal abyss.
To exist between the dying sun and a rising moon
With a constant dull ache
Eyes closed
Bitter taste"
