Norwegian black metallers Malum have revealed "Hollow", the second glimpse into their upcoming album From The Voids, due for release on 27 March via Dark Essence Records on CD, black vinyl, and a limited splatter vinyl edition (100 copies).
While firmly rooted in Malum's established sonic foundation, the album pushes further into aggression, continuing the confrontational path set on Towards Nothingness EP. It is driven by anger and stands as a ruthless observation of the world as it is perceived — dark, broken, and hollow.
The band on the new song: "'Hollow' is Malum's descent into inner emptiness and modern disorientation. The song examines fragile human urges, addiction, and the silent longing to feel something — even if that feeling is death. Musically darker and more groove-driven, it expands the band's sound while remaining rooted in bleak melodic intensity. Lyrically, it confronts wasted time, shame, and exposing existence as brief, hollow, and frighteningly disposable".
The forthcoming full‑length comprises six tracks and does not abandon the band's core identity; instead, it drives it forward with greater force and clarity. Having refined their expression into a cold and faceless descent towards inner collapse and existential void, Malum now direct that vision beyond introspection. The music is sharpened to its essence, carrying the band's bleak outlook without compromise. The album once again features cover art by Den Unge Herr Holm.
Malum rose from the ashes as a new force within the Norwegian underground. Their guiding principle is raw, atmospheric, melodic black metal — a sound rooted in the bleak traditions of the second wave and shaped by modern existentialism and nihilism. Their music is both oppressive and cathartic, carving a path through Norway's underground with raw intensity and philosophical depth.
Malum is not merely a band — it is a confrontation. With the self. With silence. With nothingness. Link
