Reviews for Malevolent Creation's Warkult
Solid. - 83%
Written by Decapitated22 on August 22nd, 2006
Another day, another solid Malevolent Creation record. As they adopted their
Death/Thrash sound, they quickly became probably the best at it and inspired
many bands to take the same path.
Warkult is a good album by all means. The riffs are, as they are supposed to be,
catchy and thrashy, and come in loud and clear with the production. They are
that perfect little combination of the Death Metal picking/dark feel and the
Thrash catchiness.
The drummer, also as usual, is very good. They've always had a good one. There
isn't much to say about him that isn't true for most of this type of drummer. He
has awesome fast fills on him that will definitely turn heads, a double bass
that will kick your ass, and good handspeed for those blast beats.
This album is actually a bit on the slower side than their others. They stay
more in the mid-paced arena here, as opposed to the constant blasting of, say,
Envenomed. This was actually a cool thing to do, since it helped them to try a
little somethng different and not let their stuff start to blend together. As
they said once in an interview, "We don't need to prove that we can play fast."
Very true.
Why I didn't give this album a higher review is because it is just what I said
it is: solid. There isn't anything really different offered to the genre here,
and the songs are all of average length. Nothin crazy goin on. It is simply a
good record that you will definitely spin a good amount of times and is worthy
of any collection.

War is FUN - 85%
Written by MikeBelial on January 19th, 2006
Malevolent Creation have been around since 1987. In that span, they have put out
a 9 full length albums, solidifying their reputation as one of the best bands in
Death Metal. Now with Warkult they are proving to the world that they are still
out to lop off heads with a high tempo assault of Death/Thrash. The return of
Dave Culross really adds to the heaviness of the album. He is a maniac who
probably could run a marathon in the Olympics due to sheer cardiovascular
ability mixed with insane drumming skills. Gordon Simms bass adds to the drums
and guitars superbly giving the overall sound of the album a beefy vibe. The
guitars of Phil Fasciana and Rob Barrett are tight, combining melodic riffing
with Death/Thrash pummeling, and they never solo to the point of being showmen.
This adds to the brutality of the album in a way that takes the long time fan
back to their previous albums like In Cold Blood. The vocals of Kyle Symons are
a perfect fit for what is going on with the music in that he sounds like a
soldier shouting on a battle field. In the 21st century, Malevolent Creation is
proving that as the older lions of the den they can still rip your guts open
with a ferocious brand of war inspired Metal evident on Warkult. This album is
sure to make their Old-School fans happy while sucking newer listeners into
their highly respected fold.

Warkult....a war for real death metal! - 99%
Written by ad on January 6th, 2005
A friend of mine bought me this album as a birthday gift and the first word
coming to my mind as i heard it was: Awesome! The sound quality is incredible
and the amazing guitar riffs sound as nice as it gets when you hear the ride
cymbal in the background. Malevolent creation are known for their warrelated
lyrics and I can not say they are dissapointing at all. After a couple of
listenings this was definetely my favourite record and I hope others had the
same feeling about this masterpiece. The new vocalist, Kyle Simmons is a great
growler and makes this album complete with his fabolous voice.
The first track "Dead march" is perfect as an intro, which it is! It starts out
a bit easily and the drums and bass go along with a kind of military style. The
song really gets at its best when Kyle screams out: "Marching on to war!" to a
nice, technical riff.
The next track, "Preemptive strike" shows the bands brutallity and technique as
the blastbeats hit your ears like gunshots. The chorus riff before and after the
melodic, incredible solo is in my opinion the songs topmoment and this song is
one of the many masterpieces made by Malevolent creation!
"Supremacy through annihilation" is the third track and possibly the hardest
song to play out of the 12 tracks on the album. The solo fits perfectely to the
rest of the song and is maybe one of the best solos created in death metal ever!
Track five, "Captured" is my personal favourite and this one is almost
undescribeable! The mainriff is beatiful to listen at and i have heard that the
riff is over 10 years old! Which sounds impossible to me, because once you make
something like this, you use it!
One of the more relaxed songs is track number 7, Section 8, which have been
described like this in the norwegian magazine, "Scream": "This song is maybe, at
least one of, the greatest death metal songs ever" I do not agree right there,
but that the song is fantastic is there no doubt about!
Then we are at the fastest song: "Tyrannic opression". It starts out with a
hyperactive blast from ex-Suffocation drummer, Dave Culross and afterwards a
technical superriff almost blows your ears out. As the song gets older the riffs
get slower, but it is still an amazing song!
The last song, A cover song of "Jack the ripper" by a band called "Hobbs angel
of death" is a bonustrack which in fact is really good. I dont know much about
this band, except that they are from Melbourne, Australia and were formed as
early as in 1985(!) In spite of being a song from 1988 this cover song really
makes my head start banging.
The last thing to say about this record is that it always will have a special
place in my recordcollection and I want everybody (of course myself too) to buy
the next Malevolent creation album!
