MALIGNAMENT - Demo I . LP

Finnish Black Metal. 17 minutes of pure hate !

One of the most powerful demos has come across in recent years, MALIGNAMENT's Demo I puts most official/regular-length releases to shame in sheer songwriting prowess and furious, full-throttle execution. Not much is known about this band, other than that they hail from Finland. And while bearing some/many traits for which Finnish black metal is known/renown, MALIGNMENT offer a more overtly muscular and most definitely more triumphant aspect than that scene's characteristic freezing fire. In fact, the dizzying/mesmerizing melodicism that poignantly pushes each of these three tracks onward is a unique trait unto itself, when paired with such a roiling 'n' robust soundfield. Above all, the duo drive deeply into the fundamentals of black metal and reside there - and there alone - never varying in their dedication or sidestepping into more miscegenated waters: simply, the purest and proudest all-caps BLACK METAL, no more but definitely no less.

Demo I is but the start of MALIGNAMENT's march, so beware or be gone!
