{"product_id":"carnal-dread-maleficium-cd","title":"Carnal Dread - Maleficium [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst and final full-length album from Greek band Carnal Dread, “Maleficium” condenses their distinctive vision of blackened thrash metal into a legacy well worth discovering, delivering eight compositions packed with aggression, darkness and an obvious devotion to old-school extreme metal. With “Maleficium”, Carnal Dread developed an especially raw and direct approach, built around razor-sharp riffs, fast-paced rhythms and a powerful performance that consistently reflects their strong influence from the most primitive strains of thrash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks such as “Maleficium”, “Coven of the Nine Angles”, “Stranded in Gehenna” and “Dagger of Siege” showcase a formula based on incisive guitars, tempo changes and harsh vocals, while “Drink of Lethe's Waters” and “Lashing Hex of Reprisal” maintain the intensity throughout. The album closes with a cover of “My Belief” by Possessed, a fitting tribute to one of the bands that played a fundamental role in the evolution of thrash towards more extreme territory. An interesting piece of the Greek underground from the mid-2010s for devotees of blackened thrash and old-school extreme metal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Throne Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58742572974428,"sku":"COW003578","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/3069\/6028\/files\/IMG_20210727_00331000.jpg?v=1787272933","url":"https:\/\/darkwoods.eu\/products\/carnal-dread-maleficium-cd","provider":"Darkwoods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
