Rated:
They’ve got style! But we already knew that. Cause we loved their The Macabre album and were truly honored to premiere the Hedonic single from their new album Heavy Blues. Dark, dirty, dripping with blood kind of blues. Yes, Malkasian is back! They’re back with a fist through the floorboards. If you remember and love The Macabre, you know the drill… Twisted, deranged, stoner-blues noir. But now with sharpened claws and a cigarette that burned down to ash and fell to the floor with nobody noticing and a band that continues to play. Drunk on blues, rumbling, feverish and filthy. You remember Hedonic right? And that harmonica? Howling like a junkie at the end of the night…
Have you been there? Those dubious watering holes where even biker gangs show up fully armed. Well, this is their soundtrack. Riffs drag like the hungover bodies strewn about, the guitar sweats hundred percent alcohol, bass shudder and the drums stomp on the terra like a beast that knows there might never be another time. But it’s still the blues. The Heavy Blues, thick with dust and bourbon fumes. And those vocals, exactly hauntingly enough, close enough to follow you around like a shadow. And wild enough, so they might never quite let you go… It all just creeps under your skin and cut straight to the marrow. It rattles the bones and lingers like slow swirling smoke in a dim room. It’s Malkasian at their rawest. And Malkasian at their finest. Remember when All Them Witches started out as a blues band? Indeed… Well, Heavy Blues drags the old blues through alley grime, mixing bruised hearts, loud sorrow, and worn-out rage into something intense and bloody raw.
