Palace in the clouds shrouded in fog Suppressed emotions, glorious solitude Winds of past stalk the shadows Foolish other drowns from within Mountainous dream the intruder rejects Exquisite yearning, reclaim the pagan Reject self-denial, renounced vow Blood red, sign of femininity Clash of cultures Last farewell to fading empire Adept’s pious hubris The coming rains spell doom Misconceived pleasantry turned to yearning Ravaged by submerged desire Clandestine touch, forbidden kiss Pleasure awake, myth made real Rouged lips, possessed by lust Gaunt wraith consumed in darkness Inner turmoil, fight to coexist Rejection at the precipice Inevitable descent to lustful depravity Infinite abyss, fall to your doom Beyond humanity’s flawed reach Ominous thunderhead signifies coming rains The healing power of the rain

about

UK deathsters Malediction return from a long recording hiatus with their new masterpiece "The Soil Throne". This new 6 track release is available on all formats - vinyl (in black or splatter), CD and tape from Cosmic key Creations and Macho Records.

The band were major players in the worldwide underground scene in the late 80s and early 90s having released several EPs and comp tracks and gigging across the UK with the likes of My Dying Bride, Bolt Thrower, Benediction and a host of other metal royalty. Jump forward to 2016 and the band reformed with 4 of the original members to release the 15 track CD compilation "Chronology of Distortion" on Dark Blasphemies Records.

It’s been 30 years since the band released new recordings and here it is! The Soil Throne represents Malediction at their most brutally powerful. Featuring 2 brand new tracks and updated versions of both old and mid era songs with an unparalleled production this release really does catapult Malediction very much back into the scene and demos the band at their very best. Retaining 3 original members plus new additions on bass and drums, Malediction are preparing to gig in 2024 and they already have some shredding new material ready for the debut album!

New tracks "The Omerta Masquerade" and "Black Narcissus" feature a wall of multi tracked guitars, stunningly impactful solos, haunting melodies and guttural vocals. The mix of pounding double bass, manic fast blast beats and moments of true atmospherics really make these tracks stand out as the most accomplished musicianship the band has realised to date. Re-imaginings of the older tracks finally do justice to the Malediction classics, giving them the epic production they deserve. Seasoned Malediction fans will love the updates and for the newer listener, everything is brought up to date in a package that truly stands out among the finest recent releases in the UK metal scene.

The Soil Throne truly is a landmark release from one of the most prominent pioneering UK underground acts in the death metal scene. Do not miss your chance to own this slab of brutality in late November!

Nucléaire, Black -Speed ravageur, ou l'on peut entendre beaucoup d'influence. Mélodique, puissant et varié un album qui me fait fortement penser à l'album Terminal Redux de Vektor !!! necro
