Sweden's Malakhim have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a melodic black metal direction and this is a review of their album "Theion" which will be released in 2021 by Iron Bonehead Productions.
Distorted amp sounds start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also add in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences. A couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as some of the riffing also adding in touches of death metal and towards the end a brief use of synths and clean playing can also be heard
On this recording Malakhim goes for more of a raw, aggressive, melodic and traditional style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, Satanism and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malakhim and if you are a fan of raw and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "There Is A Beacon" "Hammer Of Satan" and "Theion". 8 out of 10.
