Relapse Records is pleased to welcome Dublin-based death metallers MALTHUSIAN to its esteemed roster. The band will unearth their deathly opus, The Summoning Bell, on August 8th. In advance of the record’s release, today the band unveils a video for the title track.

Comments guitarist/vocalist MB, “We always find something… to give us the impression we exist.”

Watch MALTHUSIAN’s “The Summoning Bell” video, directed by Ray K Media, HERE.

The Summoning Bell will be released on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats. Find preorders at Relapse.com HERE. Listen to “The Summoning Bell” and presave the full-length HERE.

On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN‘s fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting death metal.

Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band’s opener “Red, Waiting.” What follows is a flurry of murk and madness – blastbeats pummel against churns of distortion. The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN‘s palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.

The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre – each of the album’s tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming – internal and external, a true end of everything.
