Memento Mori in conspiracy with Grindhead Records and Primitive Moth are proud to present Malignant Aura’s second album, Where All of Worth Comes to Wither. Memento Mori will release the CD version on January 26th, 2026 while the vinyl version will follow in mid-February from Grindhead and Primitive Moth.
Crawling from beneath the bloody earth in 2022, Malignant Aura gathered widespread accolades for with their debut full-length, Abysmal Misfortune is Draped Upon Me. Their sorrowful melodies and crushing riffs forged brutally authentic live shows, captivating audiences across Australia alongside genre stalwarts like Esoteric and Mournful Congregation. Now, the band lurch forward, preparing to unearth their second album, Where All of Worth Comes to Wither.
A full-length descent into the depths of human despair, Where All of Worth Comes to Wither is a harrowing blend of death metal and doom: vicious, somber, and triumphant. As aptly titled as its no-less-considerable predecessor, Where All of Worth Comes to Wither sees Malignant Aura both expanding and contracting their sound, broadening its sonic possibilities whilst focusing the songwriting for maximum, abyss-ward effect. Malignant Aura are unafraid of the titanic; where the debut album encompassed six songs in 53 minutes, this new one comprises a more concise and powerful 46 minutes spread across five songs. Consequently, their brand of tortured & lumbering doom-death (with especially emphasis on the DEATH) bridges both modern and classic sounds, drawing inspiration from a pool as varied as Incantation, Paradise Lost, Virgin Black, Hooded Menace, Mournful Congregation, Candlemass, Disembowelment, Pallbearer, Katatonia, Asphyx, and My Dying Bride. Through labyrinths do those five equally epic songs each move about; Where All of Worth Comes to Wither covers a vast swath of territory, but the sum effect is stultifying and compelling in equal measure.
The esteemed Paolo Girardi lends his signature touch to the album’s cover artwork, completely suiting the dark, dreadful emotion of its contents. Malignant Aura will show you Where All of Worth Comes to Wither!
