Malice Divine are a solo project from Toronto, Ontario, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of his album "Everlasting Ascendancy" which will be self released in 2023.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the songs also adding in a small amount of classical guitars.
Some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length along with the music also adding in a lot of death metal elements and clean playing can also be heard briefly.. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover paranormal. spirituality, reclamation, determination and revenge themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Malice Divine and if you are a fan of melodic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Silenced Judgement" "At One With Infinity" "Reclaimed Strength" and "Everlasting Ascendancy". 8 out of 10.
