Malignant Christ/Ageless Reign/Inverted Cross Records/2012 CD Review


  Malignant  Christ  are  a  band  from  Tennesse  that  has  been  featured  in  this  zine  before  with  a  musical  style  on  this  recording  being  dark  and heavy  death  metal  with  a  blackened  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Ageless  Reign"  which  was  released  by  Inverted  Cross  Records.

  Drums range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  dark,  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  some  black  metal  influences  as  well  as  some  dark  sounding  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  early  90's  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

    Vocals  are  all  deep  death  metal  growls  that  have  a  very dark  sound  to t hem,  while t he  lyrics  cover  satanism,  blasphemy  and  gore  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  heavy, r aw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Malignant  Christ  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Ageless  Reign"  "Melted  Into  Gold"  and  "Engulf  Thyself  Into  Blackness".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
