█ Mallephyr is an interesting act from Czech █
█ Republic. The band (featuring members of █
█ Panychida) was formed in 2013 and Womb of Worms is █
█ their second full-length. The album consists of █
█ seven tracks and 38 minutes of what I would █
█ describe as a progressive, occult and misanthropic █
█ blackened death metal. Apart from the obvious █
█ black metal influences, one can also hear high █
█ levels of complexity and atmosphere in their █
█ sound. Some of the most complex and lengthiest █
█ tracks on the record is ôWomb of Worms Iö, it █
█ clocks at around 11 minutes, but surprisingly █
█ enough it never really tends to get boring or █
█ repetitive. On the other hand you have a song █
█ named ôWomb of Worms II,ö which æonlyÆ lasts about █
█ six and a half minutes, which serves as a nice █
█ closing track and marks a progressive turn █
█ musically. Meanwhile, the songs which in my █
█ opinion best sums up what this band is about is █
█ the one titled ôW.Y.I.D.ö as it combines the █
█ bone-fracturing weight of death metal and the █
█ speed and ferocity of black metal. █
█ ThereÆs a definitely a very decent amount of █
█ variety on display across these tracks, which I █
█ like very much. ItÆs as each song has its own █
█ character and personality. Vocals are varied too; █
█ delivering some snarls, shrieks, growls, screams █
█ and chants. instrumentally itÆs a great █
█ combination of hammering drums, rapidly pummeling █
█ bass, and eerie & writhing riffs. █
█ Womb of Worms is a well-written and nicely █
█ produced piece of work from this extreme Czech █
█ combo, one that IÆll recommend for all the █
█ worshipers of the likes of Behemoth, Svart Crown, █
█ Setherial, Dissection, Dimmu Borgir etc. █
