Soul Demise Against The Abyss Black Vinyl Edition

n “Symptoms IV”, MALADIE show themselves to be more open to traditional metal and even hard rock without sounding outdated in their songs. Once again, they manage to retain their (sick) DNA and the associated avant-garde approach, which on the one hand makes them sound unmistakably like MALADIE, although MALADIE have never sounded like this before!? Exactly this paradox has accompanied the German band since their foundation in 2009. You think you've got the gist of what's coming at you, a jazzy saxophone excursion, black metal screams emerge (which also lead tothe band's black metal roots), or a Hammond organ melody comes out of nowhere. MALADIE fight their own “sick” battle, and they do so from the gripping opener 'The Calm Mind' to “rockers” like 'Becoming' or 'Rebirth' and balladic moments like 'Between The Stars' to the final 'Art Is God', which combines all the attributes on “Symptoms IV” and leads to the climax. 01.
