Following their 2024 sophomore album, Portal, blackened melodeath band, Malphas, have unveiled a reimagining of their early track, “The Conjuring.” One of the first songs the band ever wrote, it is out now via the M-Theory Audio record label, along with an official lyric video.

Malphas now look both forward and backward with “The Conjuring,” serving as a creative bridge between their origins and their upcoming third album. Band founder Paul DeSanctis says:
““The Conjuring” is one of the early tracks we recorded as a band – our songwriting was still in an embryonic state, so we decided to revisit it for the 10 year mark of our first release. We rewrote and rearranged parts of it in the vein of our modern sound and were pleasantly surprised by the result. The role of the Conjurer is central to the story of The 39th Spirit and will be linked to the events in our third album.”
With cinematic orchestration, blistering guitars, and a deep-rooted narrative core, “The Conjuring” reinforces Malphas’ position as a defining force in the evolving landscape of extreme metal. To build momentum for their forthcoming third full-length, Malphas will hit the road this July on the Steel and Sorcery Tour in support of Ice Giant, alongside Celestial Wizard, with special guests Trollwar on select dates. Presented by M-Theory Audio and Witches Brew, this spellbinding run will bring myth, metal, and mayhem across North America.
