BEFOULED MALEDICTION RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "DELIBERATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

US melodic black metal act BEFOULED MALEDICTION premiere "Deliberation" via Decibel Magazine, offering a further glimpse into their debut album "Desperate Necromancy", due on October 30, 2026.

The project builds a dark narrative around grief, forbidden magic and the desperate attempt to reverse death, with melodic guitar work and spectral atmospheres shaping its sinister black metal.

Stream "Deliberation" at THIS LOCATION.

From the shadowed ranks of ORDO VAMPYR ORIENTIS comes BEFOULED MALEDICTION, a new project devoted to the darker corners of black metal and occult storytelling. Its debut record, "Desperate Necromancy", follows a warlock whose world is shattered by the sudden death of his beloved, sending him beyond the boundaries of mortal knowledge in search of a way to reverse the inevitable.

What begins in grief gradually turns toward forbidden rites, necromancy and the dangerous conviction that death itself can be defied. "Desperate Necromancy" gives this descent a suitably spectral setting, combining aggressive yet melodic black metal with an atmosphere that recalls the dim chambers, ancient manuscripts and solitary wanderings of dungeon synth. The music remains sharp and purposeful, allowing the narrative to emerge through melody, tension and shifting shades of darkness rather than excessive theatrics.

As part of the ever-changing ORDO VAMPYR ORIENTIS collective, BEFOULED MALEDICTION features associates also active in BAT MAGIC, BAD MANOR, BENEATH MOONLIGHT and other related projects.

"Desperate Necromancy" will be available digitally through Bandcamp and Ampwall on October 30, followed by a limited LP edition via Ixiol Productions and Dawnbreed Records on November 13.
