San Francisco's dark experimentalists, Mamaleek, return to The Flenser for their second album for the label and fifth overall, Via Dolorosa.
The record is definitely a step forward in the progress of the band's artistic evolution, experimenting with black metal, electronics, dark wave and psych, unfolding around themes like depression, nihilism and death, resulting to some of the most unusual and most enthralling contemporary black metal of recent times.
The two anonymous brothers that comprise the band stated,
“It is at once, a solicitation and renunciation of the genres that are blended together to create something other...Traditional music turned against itself, in treasonous alliance with the barbarians at the gate whom it once hoped to keep out. May the acoustic ruin here documented compel you to turn to your lord. You may take these songs to your judgement day as a protest against the filthy oil pumping in your veins.”
