Malfested - Shallow Graves
Release Date: November 02, 2020
Label: selfrelease
Format: Digital
Length: 21:38
Genre: Death Metal
Origin: Kortrijk, Belgium
Second November is the Day of the Dead. Belgium's Malfested could not have chosen a better day to release their debut EP "Shallow Graves". The six-track release is a gory narrative about a brutal battle between humankind and the undead. I will not tell you how it's going to end. Only that much: rainbows and comfortability are not to be expected here!
Malfested were formed this year and they have already released their first EP. It seems like the band is very productive and thus I am expecting them to publish the sophomore pretty soon.
The music is a raging melange of several Death Metal subgenres. Call it No School Death Metal if you so desire. Rhythms that sound like the drums were bathe in blood march and mince forward like the undead army itself. There are frequent high-speed staccato attacks that shoot like machine gun fire and let nothing behind but blood and ashes. And on top of this versatile and brutal soundscape there are the deep growls that appear to come from the depths of hell.

Malfested's debut is powerful, brachial and highly exciting. The band from Belgium proves to be a Death Metal War Machine. Fans of Bloodbath, Debauchery, or Morbid Angel should definitely check this out.
