MALICIOUS Fin) – Deranged Hexes LP

MALICIOUS are everything their name promises: savage, barbaric, unrelenting, and utterly BERZERK. No more but definitely no less, Deranged Hexes is everything their previous MALICIOUS recordings delivered – from cobwebbed evil to gibbering intensity, ranging the likes of Necrovore, ‘80s Possessed, and especially Mike Browning-era Morbid Angel to the earliest (and best) works of Sarcofago and Sepultura – but upratchets them to a beyond-OTT level. There’s no half measures here, nor quarter given; Deranged Hexes is full-on blackened Metal of Death insanity given flight on leathery wings.
