Australia’s savage thrash/death veterans In Malice’s Wake proudly announce the first single/video for their upcoming album, The Blindness of Faith. The new album is scheduled for worldwide release on Friday the 13th of November. Presale is now available.
The video is the title track and opener of the album. Utilizing intense and intimate footage from the band’s rehearsal room, this track showcases the bludgeoning darkness that is a prominent hallmark of the album in its entirety. The song is “a sinister and relentlessly pummelling epic of modern yet true thrash metal” says Lochlan Watt from Triple J’s The Racket.
The album The Blindness of Faith is a journey into the dark side of religion, narrated by the harrowing In Malice’s Wake sound – haunting melodies, an onslaught of classic riffs and drumming and vocals that resonate from the depths of hell. The album is a further push along the extreme path of darkness and brutality set upon by the previous album, Light Upon the Wicked. Recorded & mixed by Chris Themelco at Monolith Studios, and mastered at Panic Room studios – The Blindness of Faith screams with the sonic fire that In Malice’s Wake are renowned for. In Malice’s Wake are proud of all that has been achieved on the path so far and are ravenous to break new ground slaying a legion of new listeners in the next chapter with The Blindness of Faith – the strongest album yet. Truly thrash metal as it should be – unholy, destroying sonic fire…
