Alban Arthan, by Malfet

The Sadness Of Her Might - Official Music Video

Alban Arthan

by Malfet

supported by

Kaptain Carbon Malfet is another entry into that chapter with their fourth record into what they call “pastoral dungeon synth.” Rather than relegated to a cottage of cozy fire, Malfet’s music rolls over hills in both sunshine and rain questing towards adventures far away from here. Malfet’s vision and ambition is large leading to theatric music videos which could seen ostentatious if not backed up by some outstanding music which is perhaps one of the better releases this year. Favorite track: Lost in Shadow, We Sought Your Radiance.

Evergreen True musical magic. This is Malfet’s best work yet, which is saying something considering how fantastic the other two albums are. Alban Arthan is a meditation on loss and death. Left me in tears upon my first listen and continues to bring tears with each play.

Alban Arthan carries on Malfet's tradition of graceful medieval melodies and vivid soundscapes. Both driving and hypnotic, it is impossible to not become wholly consumed by the journey the music creates.

Dedicated to the stalwart berserker Nick Darway: a big man with a big heart and, most importantly, a big friend to us; and to the eternal shield-maiden warrior-Queen who once was, Queen who shall be: Maria Rice - a voice of astonishing innocence, a sublime and inspired poet of darkness and light, and the creator of Morrowdim.

I like to imagine that Nick and Maria are sharing great plentiful horns of cheer today in that land where the fae mead flows and the hearth glows everlasting.

Agápe, Éros, Philía, Storgē!
