MALEFICENCE "Realms of Mortification" 7"EP
Blood Harvest
Hot on the heels of their "Journey to the Depths" demo, reissued last year to critical acclaim by Blood Harvest, Belgium's Maleficence return with a fiery new 7" EP entitled Realms of Mortification. Featuring two exclusive new songs, "Realms of Mortification" shows, with no small amount of bombastic force, that Maleficence have grown leaps and bounds during the past two years. Although the band's foundation in dirty black/thrash remains, there's a palpable (and palatable) sense of refinement here that sacrifices not one ounce of their previous, primordial power; if anything, their songwriting growth and especially recording skills have jointly combined to make their metal more dynamic and more devastating. Maleficence are on the march, and to the "Realms of Mortification" they'll drag you!
