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" FFO: Grave Miasma, Morbid Angel, Portal, Blood Incantation, NileTRACK LIST: 1. Isolation 2.
