MALIGNAMENT
Demo I (12" LP)

One sided 12" LP in rough cardboard
17 minutes of hate hailing from Finland!

One of the most powerful demos PURITY THROUGH FIRE 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!
