A South Korean dude and his drum machine, tearing it up: Malakh

I don't plan to offer opinion pieces frequently on here. Recently, though, I acquired a copy of the debut demo by Malakh, "Abnormal Killer."  Since there's not a lot of information out there, I thought I might share a few things about it.

Malakh is ancient Hebrew for angel or messenger.

I was drawn to the music and the clear commitment that Malakh has to performance.   Check out his YouTube page for a variety of performances.


Plus, unblack metal from South Korea - how can that not be awesome?!? In the photos and video he's skulking around the forest with a katana. And the music is good. Surely, this is can't miss? Read more after the break, and make your own judgment.
