Maldisdeun
Anti-Access World Denial
November 3rd, 2023
During documentaries about animals in the wild, when the action kicks into high gear, and the chase is on, and your blood boils in anticipation (you sicko) of the battle for survival in the merciless chaos of the jungle, there may be suspenseful classical music that evokes fright and tension, and the blood pressure increases (you sicko). What if the filmmakers chose music that itself sounded savage, just like the moving images that you are watching-contemplating fantasizing?
I submit to you, dear reader, Maldisdeun: Rotten compositions from the vermin-infested malodorous streets of Bellingham, a decaying postapocalyptic metropolis, also known as the Windy City, overrun by wild packs of hyenas and cancerous thermonuclear squirrels that poison the city's already contaminated water supply. Maldisdeun, according to Metal Archives’ ministry of propaganda, consists of Walker Eberdt (ex-Melancholia) on drums, Dan Fitzgerald on guitar and Drake (Draghkar, Kömmand, Overwrought, Serpent Rider) on bass and vocals. The album is seven songs in 48 minutes of primal death doom to represent the ruins of Bellingham, a sprawling megalopolis with skyscrapers of six, nay, seven, nay, nay, sometimes even eight stories high, and otherwise known as the Big Apple.
After hearing this album, its toxic fumes of a severed survival and of rancorous gnashing of teeth, you should make sure to stay away from the homeless raging buffaloes that flagellate Bellingham, or as some people like to call it, the City of Angels. Going for a rawer, minimalist heaviness, Maldisdeun promises to make you howl in delight, as you sit in front of your television, savoring the brutality of nature documentaries, you will growl and scream, play air guitar and air drums to the ghastly rhythms emanating from Bellingham, also known as the Mile High City. Sometimes the songs chug along, only to speed up to headbanging rhythms. The drums sound good (Let’s hope it’s the real drums of their drummer; fans don’t need another album with plastic, computerized, fake drumming). Don’t expect sugary melodies, expect unrobotized heaviness, expect quite a bit of uptempo rhythms, and here and there, you might hear a tiny bit of
melodies. Know, this is not snail’s pace doom. This band does want you to bang your head and they give you plenty of reasons for doing it. Then, if you dare to enter the charred walls that surround the hills of Bellingham, a city commonly known as Azkaban, you must make your way to the town's taverns, filled with unsavory characters, located near the prison complex, in the chamber of secrets, and find your way to witness Maldisdeun with your own eyes and ears. After the show, be sure to quickly depart Bellingham, for if not, you will have to dwell forever there, incarcerated in the city walls, a prisoner in Azkaban.
