Malasorte are a solo project from Finland that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Apex Sovereignty" which was released by inverse Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the music also being very heavily rooted in t he classic Finnish style and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Keyboards and clean plying are also utilized briefly along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the album also has its atmospheric moments and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Esotericism, Cosmos, Death and Destruction themes.
In my opinion Malasorte are a very great sounding atmospheric and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Rift Is Now Open" "Into The Killing Fields" "The Devil's Pact At Roanoke" and "Crowned In Astral Majesty". 8 out of 10.
