Quote from: Pagan Saviour on July 15, 2025, 03:28:49 PMSounds great. Even though there's lots of changes/shifts it seems like a more direct approach to these ears - will have to listen in context of the full record, looking forward to it.

All songs work within the album as a whole and were written with that in mind. Def a more direct approach to our previous stuff but on a wider scope altogether. I obviously can't be objective.

What albums were an influence during the synthesis process of the writing could you say at all? Hard to have a clear view in retrospect after being immersed id say but ill ask. For example, i liked how AA said he had 3 albums in mind before making the Verminous Serpent LP.

What albums did Alan say he had in mind for VS?

At this stage there is nothing I have in mind when writing for Malthusian outside of it being riffs I think work. I do think of the attack or the flow of the song and work from there. Just keep building.

Ok, cool thanks.

oh it was 7 i mean haha....

Right, interesting, but that wasn't something that was discussed amongst the 3 of us at the time. It took it's own shape from Beherit being mentioned initially. Anyway, that's not the topic at hand.

Ferocious song, particularly the hectic opening, but I also like the slow building mid-section which calls a little bit to Estoric in the layering up of the vocals. The production is huge and deep. Something tells me yee weren't skulling cans during the recording of this one  :laugh:

Jaysus that's a fecking whopper of a tune, fair play. The clean madman vocals around the five minute mark were unexpected and fucking class.

Cheers anyway, lads. Few new twists and turns in this one and I love it.


Final third portion of that new one is unreal. Everything is perfect. BTH is my favourite so bit of a throwback to that.

Cleans remind me of parts of Coven... by CDG. Looking forward to this even more now!

Yeah, spot on. Loved that u-turn too. Deadly track.  :abbath: 

Good song,  this stuff is heavier than I listen to these days, but really like this. Any Dolans date?


Tom's solo is so dark and menacing in that song. Really good.
