Australian death metallers Vile Apparition stream the entirety of their second album, Malignity, at the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel: Vile Apparition (Aus) – Malignity (Album 2025)
Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the ’90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the Australian band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity, with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.
If pounding madness and malicious technical flourishes is your thing, then Vile Apparition have you covered. This is totally cranked brutality and unwavering musicianship taken to its logical and perverse conclusion: a torturous blend of brutal death metal that takes no prisoners and gives no quarter. Find yourself holding your breath from the unending ruthless musical mayhem (or perhaps the stench of offal in the air). Malignity delivers what the title promises, and your brain matter will be splattered by the end of a single listen of this record. [text by Jørgen Sven Kirby, Nattskog webzine]
