Moribund continues to unearth the underground's finest material in both the death - as black metal genres. Much like Scandinavian labelmates Horna and Azaghal this unit produces high standard traditional, misanthropic black metal like (early) Enthroned, mid-career Marduk and Dark Funeral. Coming from the ever fertile soils of Sweden Avsky are blessed with an environment which strengthens this genre. Grim atmosphere is present on the aptly named "Malignant" thanks to the many gloomy mid-tempo sections and truly demonic dual vocals that bless this album with an atmosphere that's almost otherworldly in its diabolic purity. At once militant and aggressive while remaining strangely and unconventionally melodic Avsky are pro's in their chosen field. The tracks twist and turn through various tempo changes without compromising an inch of brutality. All tracks on this record are of the same high quality and the band doesn't stray too far from what is expected in this genre. The production is fitting in its minimal but professional sounding tone with all the required texture, definition and clarity. A high end production job would take away much of the brutality a record like this aims for. Thus the production here only serves to strengthen the music. Artwork, design and lay-out are in the typical grey and black tones thus adhering to the underground rules of this genre.
