black metal / death metal

We're still in Portugal, dealing with some of the most extreme acts from that country. This time, we're being dragged into the dark and perilous world of Mandragora Malevola, a world on the edge between death metal and black metal. In this world, evil lurks but so does freedom and spiritual independence.
This ep contains a haunting intro and two surprisingly diverse songs. The constantly seem to move between black and death metal, while also incorporating atmospheric and melodic elements, here and there even nudging towards the folk metal scene. In that aspect, the whole might not even be that extreme, although there are some fierce and brutal passages here.
In only two songs, this band showed a great deal of skills and experience. Above all, it made me curious towards more material. I really hope that they will soon find a label, recording studio and professional producer and unleash a massive full-length. I'm quite positive that it will be one of the most acclaimed albums of the year.
