The USA-based black/death metallers Malphas have signed to M-Theory Audio for the release of their sophomore album, Portal,slated for release on 29 March.
Malphas' singer/guitarist Paul DeSanctis states: "Malphas is honoured and excited to join such a talented roster and world-class team at M-Theory. We've worked hard on this new album for the past few years, are thankful to have found a home for it and have great confidence in what we will accomplish through our partnership".
Portal is the follow-up to the debut album, The 39th Spirit, released in 2018 through Via Nocturna. Both albums revolve around the demon Malphas and his encounters with people in life and death.
Paul DeSanctis on Portal: "Portal takes place chronologically two hundred years prior to the events of The 39th Spirit. The album explores new themes like politics, economics, and historical events in fleshing out how the dystopian world in The 39th Spirit comes to be".
To get an idea of the band's sound and growth, Malphas has unleashed its first single/video, "Red Shield Syndicate", which awaits you in the player below.
"'Red Shield Syndicate' is an allegory for the Federal Reserve System, the central bank of the United States. The initial villain in the story facilitates the conspiracy between the elite bankers and politicians to cartelize the financial system. The song culminates with an economic depression and political revolution; as an angry mob rises up against the government and overthrows it. But this creates a power vacuum and opens the door for an even worse government under Malphas." Link
