Ghost Cult is proud to partner up with blackened death metallers Malphas to première their new song stream for the track ‘Visions of the Burning Darkness’. Coming off their new EP The Conjuring due out on February 24th, the track is equal parts classic Scandinavian darkness, and symphonic metal influences, played with the proficiency and production of the best progressive tech death bands.

Malphas serves as the grand president and general of hell; commanding forty legions of demons and appearing before conjurers in the form of a crow.
