Malakhim – 'And In Our Hearts The Devil Sings' LP

140g Black vinyl edition with 8 page booklet limited to 500 copies

Sweden’s Malakhim return with a commanding statement of modern orthodox black metal steeped in tradition and menace. The band refine and intensify their sound without losing its raw spiritual violence and where 'Theion' fused death-driven aggression with arcane Scandinavian melody, 'And In Our Hearts the Devil Sings' expands into darker, more majestic territory. The songwriting is sharper, more deliberate, and relentlessly focused to balance furious blast-driven passages with towering, almost hymn-like movements that give the album a ceremonial, ritualistic weight. This is black metal built for vast stages and shadowed halls, evoking the grandeur of a massive black mass in motion. Still rooted in the lineage of early Nordic black metal, Malakhim channel a sense of dread and seriousness often absent from contemporary revivals. The production enhances the band’s natural ferocity while allowing the melodic and epic elements to breathe, reinforcing the dark magick at the heart of their sound. Lyrically, the album draws inspiration from the concept of Yetzer Hara, humanity’s inherent inclination toward evil, giving the record a philosophical depth that mirrors its sonic weight, making this a a decisive and mature release that is melodic, brutal, and unflinchingly devoted to the true spirit of black metal.
