Denver, Colorado's Malum Mortuus have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a Tolkien themed form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "...And They Cried With The Voices Of Death".
Keyboards and drum beats start off the album along with some spoken word parts a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while they also add in a couple of Nazgul and one Summoning cover.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with some clean playing also being added on a couple of tracks and most of the music is rooted in the mid 90's era.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, growls and clear singing can also be heard briefly and acoustic guitars are added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are based upon the writings of J.R.R Tolkien.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malum Mortuus and if you are a fan of old school and Tolkien themed black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Crown And Kingdom To Ash" "Elficidium" and "Old Mornings Dawn". 8 out of 10.
