  supported by 6 fans who also own “Grief tethers itself to those it visits like a ghostly anchor, choosing when to materialize on a whim, silently informing our days”

  The platonic ideal of a modern deathmetal ep. Bass booms and rumbles like a motherf*cker and the drums lay waste to civilizations. Fantastic guitar tone, threatening in the tremolos, crushing in the breaks. Generally confident and agile.Outstanding outing by Malignant Altar. Five stars. Ghuughra

  The perfect mix of (old school) death thrash and (modern) slam death. With a great sense for groove and impressive amount of variation. I'll keep an eye on these guys - especially on their other profile where this is a little cheaper and new stuff is available. mourner

  by Worm

  supported by 5 fans who also own “Grief tethers itself to those it visits like a ghostly anchor, choosing when to materialize on a whim, silently informing our days”

  An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
