Malconfort are a band from the united kingdom that plays an experimental form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Humanism" which will b e released in July by Transcending obscurity Records.
High pitched black metal s creams start off the album along with some heavy and avant garde riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When clean playing is utilized it also takes the album into more of a progressive direction and spoken word parts and synths can also be heard on a few tracks.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while elements of free form jazz can also be heard at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet dissonant style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction, whispered vocals are also added on a couple of songs.
Malconfort plays a style of black metal t ha t is very avant garde, progressive and experimental sounding as well as mixing in elements of free form jazz to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophical themes.
In my opinion Malconfort are a very great sounding experimental sounding black metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cruelty (Elation)" and "Carnivore (God)". 8 out of 10.
