Norwegian black metal band Malum refines its artistic pathway and depicts a dark hollow world on the uncompromising sophomore release “From The Voids”.
Straight into the void “Stare Into Darkness” unleashes an obscure raw energy through intense groovy dynamics as guitars courageously march through a broken realm while the dramatic melodic passages evoke pure desolation.
“Ignorance Made Bliss” emphasizes a dreary atmospheric ensemble matched by the crestfallen tonalities of gelid melodic guitars while tormented growls reach darker depths cutting through the harsh rhythmic sections.
As a symbol of nihilism “In Gloom II” hypnotizes you with enticing monochromatic guitar harmonies and the consequent emotional turmoil ultimately leads to the ideal mix of cold sharpened riffs and thunderous drums.
The strength of the title track comes from primordial invisible forces dictating faster angered patterns as guitars engage in malevolent riffs and add cathartic melodic phrases to emphasize a perennial sense of longing.
Rising from Norway’s underground scene Malum showcases an overwhelming bleak vision throughout “From The Voids” rooted in the successful atmospheric and melodic black metal wave.
