Malvost are a solo project from Sweden that plays a mixture of dark ambient, drone, harsh noise and doom metal with some touches of black metal and this is a review of his 2021 ep "Oljud" which will be released in July by Trepanation Recordings.
Whistles start off the ep along with some distorted sounding drones a few seconds later while the guitar riffs also add in the heaviness of doom metal. Black metal screams are also added into some parts of the recording along with all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and when synths are added onto the recording they also bring in elements of dark ambient and spoken word parts are also added on a couple of tracks.
Harsh noises are also added into some parts of the recording while all of the songs also sound very different from each other. At times the music also adds in some atmospheric and cinematic sounding drones along with the music also having its dissonant and minimalistic moments and all of the music also sticks to a slower direction as well as some female vocals also being added on the closing track.
Malvost plays a musical style that takes dark ambient, drone, harsh noise, doom metal and some touches of black metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover depression, isolation, surrealism, existentialism, Norse mythology, the nature of memory and the environmental crisis.
In my opinion Malvost is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, drone, harsh noise and doom metal with some touches of black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lamentations From The Menhir" and "The Desecration Of Beavi". 8 out of 10.
