Swedish black metal band Malakhim stream in advance of its official release, the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Theion. The album is set to be released on 8th January via Iron Bonehead Productions. Malakhim may have been new in name, but there in fact exists a wealth of experience in their ranks, and that name stands on its own merits. And they swiftly proved that with the four-song/21-minute mini-album II, released during the spring of 2019 via Iron Bonehead.
No great changes took place in Malakhim's iron-clad sound, but the quintet continued to flesh it out in bolder, more beyond-pushing shapes. Anticipation for a debut full-length hit a fever pitch, and understandably so. At last, it arrives in the form of Theion. Immediately and mesmerizingly sounding like the Malakhim of the past two short-lengths, Theion strikes with precision and purpose, clarity and crush. One could say, quite rightly, that the album is the pinnacle of orthodox black metal for the rest of the 2020s and leave it at that - and that one would be right.
The hammer of Satan is falling, and the empire is crumbling: in its place stands the towering monument of Malakhim's Theion. Listen to the entire thing one week before its release by clicking play in the player below. Link
