Malacath are a duo from New Hampshire that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their album "Eternal Roar Of the Thunder And Rain" which will be released in 2025 by Eternal Death.
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album along with some synths a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a small amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of classical guitars and clean playing. Elements of funeral doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Paganism and Nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malacath and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eternal Roar Of The Thunder And Rain" and "Blood of our Fathers". 8 out of 10.
