thehunter0124 Got to see these guys open for Altar of Plagues and goddamn was I impressed. Completely crushed it. I had to purchase this EP from that performance alone! Favorite track: The Gasless Billows.

Choco Latte Stellar multifaceted metal from accomplished musicians. I'm in complete agreement with other fans: give us a full length please. Favorite track: The Gasless Billows.

Cherubian This is a must have for fans of PORTAL and ULCERATE (or whatever nightmarish brutal guitar music). Really uncompromising blend of black, doom and death metal at it's finest. Every time I listen to this feels like hell has opened for some 20 minutes. Please give me a full length.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) If you asked Portal to write a pop song, the end result wouldn't be far from Malthusian. Fitting somewhere between the catchy, riff-driven ugliness of Lord Mantis and harrowing, technical death metal of Ulcerate; this quartet knows how to walk the tightrope between solid hooks and challenging compositions. Full review here: metaltrenches.com/reviews/malthusian-11 Favorite track: Forms Become Vapour.

1.
Coil of you Hard and cold Hidden furnace Enmity in man Human speck Virulent mote A rotting campaign Wheezing dead gas Muscles mured in the humic layer Cells clamour Atoms simmering Microscopic upheavals Settle and seep Life bursting From vacant sockets Some will pour Venom from Their still bones In fountains of ash Knotted labyrinths Lie along the lines of limbs Mud and slime and the gasless billows Two inert wings
2.
Hengiforms hanging with bloated carcasses Bloodless fauna on the clay Banks of votive meat A bleary gateway Dry crackle of fire A guttering flame We trample the routes Grit between the teeth Forest ablaze, endless days chased away. The once brave sun In slouched equinox, fled The moon's grey head Returns a cold and steady gaze Night's beasts put up their call Now there's no turning back from the frigid threshold Coil revolving through and through.... Into a state of false death Equinoctial eschaemia A cold air coagulant Damming up the source The roar becomes a hum
3.
Mind altered to begin Detritus of a shattered being Shelved by ignorance To wile away until soil Distraction in emptiness Following the insects Across the stones To smash your head against oblivion Tear away the membrane Gnaw at the pupa Feel your form alter Your eyes roll inward Stand in opposition of reason I heave against the shackles Truth is a brittle glass fragment Dug into the skull Melt through the fabric of reality Mind slips through the pores Time becomes viscous Forms become vapor
