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.
***Update 9/13/15: It appears most of the albums are gone. Soul Embraced is still there.
Nearly all of the albums from Blood & Ink Records can be downloaded for free through Freegal Music. (Don't know what Freegal Music is? See this post.) For some of the albums, some of the tracks are missing. This seems to happen sometimes on Freegal Music. Some of the albums include:
Soul Embraced - For the Incomplete (missing two tracks from original release: 8 & 9)
With Blood Comes Cleansing - Golgotha
Comrades - Safekeeper and Collection: 2010-2011
Neshamah - Communicating in Heartbeats
Venia - Conviction, Frozen Hands, and I've Lost all Faith in Myself
Foreknown - Clam Seas Don't Make Sailors
With Increase - Signs of the Time and Death is Inevitable
