THE VOID JOURNAL | MALTHUSIAN unveil their deathly opus, “The Summoning Bell”

Ireland’s MALTHUSIAN unearths their deathly opus, “The Summoning Bell”, via Relapse Records! On “The Summoning Bell”, 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 – blastbeats 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 of everything.

“The Summoning Bell” is available on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats. Find all order options HERE .
