corrigenda & addenda

By writing "in the legendary vein of the 1350's Catholic Black Metal tradition" in the previous post we were obviously not that serious.

Black metal is around 20 years old max., is not really bound by much of a tradition and since we are christians, our music neither can be that very "black". However, all sung parts on URKAOS are writings and excerpts found within the legendary 1350's Catholic tradition. I.e. e.g. Vulgata, Confessiones, Officium Parvum Beate Marie Virginis, Nichodemi Ewangelium.

Malacht is - ergo - not about Orthodox Black Metal or something similar. In fact, we do now take a great stance from whence we came and pray for others to do the same. Faith remains a bestowal, and whosoever dare to knock shall be opened for. Open eyes will be led to what beauty they see and not see. There is but one God in trinity and none can propose us with a coherent theology containing one God as being evil and unjust. Such a theology simply does not exist.

We have now recorded music for the D-side of URKAOS. All this new material is acoustic and is an indication as to were the music of Malacht currently is heading. A full length in that very same vein will probably follow later.

URKAOS

+++

The third full-length album of Reuerorum ib Malacht, URKAOS, was recorded last summer (2006) at Viken outside of Torsång, Dalecarlia, as well as in Torsångs K:a, The Church of Torsång. The original recording consists of ca: 80 minutes of music, of which 20 minutes is a lengthy outro. The main part of the release is in the same vein as The Old God, yet more in the legendary vein of the 1350's Catholic Black Metal tradition.

URKAOS will be released by the American label .:AJNA:. (theajnaoffensive.com) sometime this year in the form of a DLP. Possibly to be followed by a cd. The original intention however was to release URKAOS through ALFT as a CD with separate booklet. Now, since the format has changed, the original outro - which was an alteration and a short version of a song originally recorded in 2004 - won't be part of this release. The D-side of the LP will instead consist of new material, that will be recorded at various locations in Dalecarlia this summer of 2007.

Expect release late summer/autumn this year.
