Description

MALTHUSIAN – The Summoning Bell

Irish death metal outfit MALTHUSIAN emerge from the shadows with The Summoning Bell, their crushing debut on Relapse Records. Known for their suffocating sound and relentless intensity, MALTHUSIAN deliver a truly unrelenting slab of death metal steeped in chaos and dread.

Opening with the swirling menace of “Red, Waiting,” the album explodes into a flurry of blast beats, distorted churn, and pitch-black atmosphere. Each track is a meticulously layered descent—exploring themes of nothingness, the futility of superstition, and a reckoning with inevitable darkness.

The Summoning Bell is more than a record—it's a ritual, a lighting of the pyre at the edge of existence. This is death metal in its most punishing and uncompromising form.
