Dublin-based Death Metallers MALTHUSIAN, has unveiled their new single titled “Eroded Into Superstition”, from their upcoming album “The Summoning Bell”, set for release August 8th via Relapse Records.
A taste of the doom and decadence that is to come, “Eroded Into Superstition” piles the meaning of filth and fury in its truest form. “The Summoning Bel” is not for the faint of heart, but for those in the know and the ones that got away, this is the ‘it’ sound for a forgotten generation. The ones that never left.
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 is 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 explores themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming – internal and external, a true end of everything.
