Maleficia - Beltane

Review by manuel ramirez

Maleficia's album Beltane takes the listener on a dark and mesmerizing journey through the depths of pagan lore. The band's haunting melodies and ethereal vocals create an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting.

The album's opening track, "Beltane," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its haunting chants and hypnotic drumbeats. As the album progresses, Maleficia's blend of traditional folk music and modern metal creates a unique sound that is both ancient and contemporary.

The standout track on the album is "The Witching Hour," which features a haunting melody and powerful vocals that are sure to send shivers down the listener's spine. The use of traditional instruments, such as the bodhrán and the hurdy-gurdy, add depth and texture to the songs, while the heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums give the album a modern edge.
