Avant garde style keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Spoken words can also be heard at times while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with a great portion pf the tracks also b eing very long and epic in length
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the album also adds in a lot of dissonant touches. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Clean playing is also used briefly as well as the recording also having its experimental moments and one song also adds in a brief use of clear singing along with the percussion and whispers also giving the album a ritualistic feeling on a later track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Horror, Alchemy, Qabala and the Trees Of Life And Death.
In my opinion Malignant Spirit are a very great sounding avant garde and dissonant mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To Bruise The Heel of Malkuth" "Ol Exile Spirit Me Away" and "A Servant To Abhor". 8 out of 10.
