ANCIENT MALICE is a new Death Metal band from Ireland, created by Steve Maher (ex-ABADDON INCARNATE) with members of COLDWAR. Their debut album, “Accept The Vile Gifts Of The Dead”, is set to be released in August, recorded live in their rehearsal space with no edits or tricks. Just raw, old-school Death Metal, loud and unapologetic, the way they like it.
The band has just released a new video for the single “Contusions”, giving fans a taste of the brutality to come.
With members of Coldwar and engineering handled by drummer Adam Power, the band leans into the harsh, untamed spirit of late ’80s underground Metal. It’s aggressive and stripped back, capturing the feeling of a time when things were dirtier, rougher, and more real.
The artwork, created by Sean Fitzgerald (Protest Zone), fits the mood — bleak, direct, and rooted in the same uncompromising energy that runs through every track.
This isn’t a throwback or a tribute. It’s a record made by people who live and breathe this sound. No gimmicks, just the weight of the riffs and the intention behind them.
