Entering the Gateways, the Finnish death metal group’s inaugural full-length, sees DISGUISED MALIGNANCE mining the depths of ontological horror and celestial transcendence to carefully construct the band’s foundational sound of old school death metal sensibilities with a calculatedly modern view of technical songwriting embellishments. Frenzied passages careen and jolt forward with a menacing intent, whilst swarming tremolos and a dexterous rhythmic backbone bring to mind greats such as Demilich and Cryptopsy.
