VILE APPARITION - Malignity 12" vinyl LP

Imported from Me Saco Un Ojo Records (UK)

Considered by many to be the best death metal album of 2025. An impeccable ode to brutal death metal forefathers Suffocation, Cryptopsy, and Deeds of Flesh. Very 90s in its approach to brutality. I admittedly made my own end of the year list too early, otherwise this would have undoubtedly ended up on it. HIGH RECOMMENDATION!

Australian death metal fiends Vile Apparition are back with their second album. Proudly released by Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Dark Descent Records.

Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the 90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.

If pounding madness and malicious technical flourishes is your thing then Vile Apparition have you covered. This is totally cranked brutality and unwavering musicianship taken to its logical and perverse conclusion. A torturous blend of brutal death metal that takes no prisoners and gives no quarter. Find yourself holding your breath from the unending ruthless musical mayhem (or perhaps the stench of offal in the air). “Malignity” delivers what the title promises and your brain matter will be splattered by the end of a single listen of this record.
