Tracklisting:
Press for Restless Dreams:
”The album has such a weighty tone as they weave beautiful melodies with interesting musical ideas that highlight their great songwriting. No one song really follows the same pattern. They have a great mix of anthem-like tunes that follow a simple song-writing structure.” - HEAVY Magazine
“RESTLESS DREAMS is unsettling and beautiful at the same time.” - METAL-RULES
”Song by song, the album becomes more intense and gloomy. Already the first track with vocals, "I Got a Letter" , sounds like the band, together with the protagonist in "Silent Hill 2", is looking into the abyss of the human psyche and pulling me along. The sluggish, hopeless denying impression runs through the whole album with its heaviness.” - SILENCE MAGAZIN
CD for RITUALIS AETERNA EP. Melodic dark power metal featuring Jonah Weingarten (Pyramaze, Structure of Inhumanity), Mike Harshaw (Annihilator). Mixed by Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Imonolith) and mastered by Jeramie Kling (Necromancing the Stone, The Absence).
TRACKLISTING:
Press for RITUALIS AETERNA:
”Penny Dreadful’ starts off this 25-minute six track EP and from the off, it feel like the influences of old Hammer Horror movies are rife across all elements of the music. Dark, foreboding and with lyrics to enjoy as well as unsettle, Malacoda have done a good job in the atmospheric storytelling department.” – Powerplay Mag UK
“dark symphonic metal with certain touches of power metal…”I Got A Letter”, maintains that mystical and dark halo, with great settings, where the bent voices acquire a greater presence, having a very catchy chorus.” – Necromance Mag
”An artistic way of expressing imaginary act. This could be a movie or a theatre act but it’s expressed as music. If you are into Type O Negative, Marylyn Manson… you may want to check them out, or if you like DARK music that touches you.” – The Metal Mag
“These sixs track are loaded with immersive tempos, excellent guitar play and plenty of keyboard sounds. The end result reminds me of something between Dimmu Borgir, Nightfall, Moonspell and Kamelot, which obviously means that this music is epic as hell. My favorite track is ‘I Got A Letter’ but there’s a lot of gothic goodness to be found on this thing.” – Merchants of Air
