Italy's Malmorte have returned with a new recording which shows them moving more away from their black metal style and focusing more on an occult style of heavy metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "God Needs Evil" which will be released on February 21st by Revalve Records.
Horror movie samples start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Vocals are done in more of a clean traditional metal style while the music is very heavily rooted in an 80's style along with the solos and leads also bringing in a great amount of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while a small amount of blast beats can be heard when the music speeds up. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some elements of power and speed metal also being utilized at times.
Touches of black metal can also be heard in the more aggressive parts of the tracks and when spoken words are utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling, one track also introduces clean playing onto the recording as well as a couple of songs being long and epic in length and as the album progresses a brief use of Gregorian chants chant also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malamorte and if you are a fan of occult heavy metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Demons The Devour Your Soul" "Psycho Priest" "A Demon Dressed by Angel" and "Suicide Forest". 8 out of 10.
