Malum Mortuus are a band from Denver, Colorado that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Ashes Of The Traitor's Cross" which will be released on February 25th by Imperial Darkness Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Back up vocals can also be heard at times along with a lot of the songs also sounding like they could of easily been recorded and released more than 25 years ago, death metal growls can also be heard on one of the songs and clean playing can also be heard on the closing track.
On this recording Malum Mortuus goes for more of an old school 90's influenced style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover War and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malum Mortuus and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ashes Of The Traitor's Cross" and "The Blinding Of The Far Wanderer". 8 out of 10.
