Maladie

For the diseased the illness is not seldom end and beginning at the same time. What is to be understood by PlagueMetal, in the end only the creators themselves may determine. If you thought you had understood by now what toexpect from MALADIE after four albums, the guys from Germany show you that they will continue to take completelyunpredictable paths. Thus, the new work of art could not be entitled any more suitably: ,The Sick Is Dead, Long LiveThe Sick". One can confidently speak of a reinvention here, because the material comes along almost straightforward,without losing the very own sick signature for a single second, which allows an undreamtof directness to emerge.Immediately the opener ,My Soul, Old stomps forward in black ,n roll manner, before it unfolds itself in a melodicmiddle section, only to then march towards the end. The blast-beat thunderstorm at the beginning of ,Nekrolife thenshows again the down stepped gas pedal and lets the jazz influences flash in the verse riffs skillfully, but always welldosed. The semi title tracks ,The Sick Is Dead and ,Long Live The Sick are almost punky by MALADIE standards andat the same time so cleverly written that one could nevertheless only expect them in this form from this veryformation. Is This Your Inheritance oscillates between all forms of melancholic gothic rock. Towards the end ,LifesWork and ,Deaths Work increase the speed at times, before ,Final Stage strikes the final death blow. ,The Sick IsDead, Long Live The Sick" shows MALADIE more infectious than ever, and from a completely new side. ApostasyRecords will release the album on 10.12.2021. Then, you can convince yourself. Facts and marketing activities: Artwork by Giannis Nakos (Remedy Art Design)
