Helsinki-based death metal unit Malformed has announced that their new EP, The Gathering of Souls will be released via the Extremely Rotten Productions record label. The EP comes out on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats this October 13th. Head into the article below to find out more.
Malformed began its journey through the hands of guitarist/vocalist Eetu Hyvönen and bassist Pauli Niemi, who were joined by guitarist Akseli Lindroos and drummer Jani Seppi in late 2022. As the demo was completed before Jani’s addition to the lineup, The Gathering of Souls is the first release to feature the full Malformed lineup. These five fierce and hellish tracks were completed during the winter of 2022-2023, and recordings commenced during the spring with Juuso Hämäläinen (Azatoth, Disguised Malignance) handling all production.
The tracks, which were both arranged and recorded at the band’s barren rehearsal place in Espoo, combine the technicality and brutality of bands like early Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Gorguts, and Demilich – without sacrificing the originality and inclusion of our own Malformed sound.
The Gathering of Souls tracklisting:
01 Drowning in Emptiness
02 The Gathering of Souls
03 Defiled
04 Enchantments of Nihilism
05 Mind Refinery
