MALVOST - OLJUD

Malvost is the solo project of W (Bloodswamp, Skullthrone) created to craft drone doom, dark ambient and noise music together with existential lyricism. Having self-released two demos earlier this year, Invigningen and Återutgivningen, Malvost now continues with the four track EP Oljud.

Oljud (pronounced oh-yood) once again takes its title from a Swedish word, this time one that does not literally translate to English, but that can be said to mean a negative or discomforting noise.

The EP is 33 minutes long and consists of four tracks: Lamentations From The Menhir, Kiasma, Viktorija and The Desecration Of Beaivi.

The tracks span from typical drone metal in the style of Sunn O))) or Earth, electronic ambient drone that takes influence from Tim Hecker and Ben Frost and noise music influenced by Merzbow. The vocals consist of harsh black metal inspired screams and deep pitch-shifted spoken word pieces. Together the music is intended to blend into a uniquely minimalist style of drone music.

Thematically the EP covers specific topics of depression, isolation, surrealism, the nature of memory and the environmental crisis.

"The unsettling energy of the album is meant to keep you somewhat on edge while only presenting you with minimalistic elements. It’s the ongoing drone and maintained energy that gives the music that uneasy feeling. You keep expecting something to happen, something harsh or bad to come, but it never does and yet you want it to just to break you out of the mire that you have been dragged into... there's something about it that's mesmerizing, if not entrancing."
