The Second Coming

Malintent's new album, The Second Coming, is an incredible display of high-energy music. Building on guitarists Jamie Vandelly's and Matt Aub's diverse influences, they have created a work of unparalleled power and skill. Symphonic arrangements, chaotic vocals, brutal rhythm guitars, blazing solos, and a fierce rhythm section dominate unwary listeners like a ten-ton wrecking ball. Not since the mid-eighties has a metal band emerged with such promise. Malintent's compositions are sonically dense, filled with dark minor keys and classical overtones. By using multi-part song structures, their metallic etudes leave listeners breathless - never knowing what terror lies in waiting behind the next cymbal crash. The abundant use of tempo, meter, and key changes bring a progressive element to Malintent's sinister sound. All instruments are performed with razor-sharp surgical precision.
