MALVENTO / ABIGAIL / MALAURIU - Split 2021
Undoubtedly, this is a kind of the best-to-listen 3-way split release that has unleashed in 2021. All three bands have their own history and their respective music brands. Malvento (Naples, Italy) started off with 3 tracks including a special intro for the split. Formed back in 1996, the band is back in action from their latest releases; 4th full-length “Pneuma” (2017) and “Ars Regalis” (2018) split with The Magik Way. Malvento, in this split, is musically fast & thrashing Black Metal with esoteric, horrific and ritualistic nuances. Satanic Black/Thrash Metal act, Abigail (Tokyo, Japan) is a name that needs no introduction. Established since 1992, the band has been considered by many as ‘The Most Evil Band in Japan’ meanwhile they themselves claim their musicstyle as ‘street metal’ perhaps due to the metalpunk elements. Abigail presents 2 tracks in their typical trademark; harsh and heavy in sound, raging speed riffages, ruthless metal mayhem! Malauriu (Sicily, Italy) is a slightly younger than the rest two but do not worry because they have an equivalent quality standard. Active and productive since its inception in 2013, Malauriu contributed 3 tracks including a particular outro for the split and also a cover for Nerorgasmo - Italian punk legend since 1983 which performed in Malauriu’s style. This is Black Metal occultist; supremely dark, devilish and conjuring! Above all, please check out this 3-way split which lasts over 25 minutes, it is for your blackest lust absolutely.
