The album’s close similarities to the band Otargos’ releases also detracts from the creative value. Basically : If you heard one song from Incubus you’ve heard it all. It’s lack of diversity also leaves a lack of dynamics in which to illustrate the music. All the instruments just blur together in an never ceasing fury of black metal. There isn’t much meat in the music so to speak to break down. If you’re looking for something dynamic, this isn’t the album. This may be a good thing to some people some enjoy to get lost in an endless barrage of sound. From the first note to the last, it’s just a blasting black metal assault that makes you wonder if you’re even still on the same song or not. As most works of music have a build up and a climax, complete with a grand finale, this album has no discernible beginning or end. The bands strict “consistency” to their sound makes losing your place in the album very easy. It’s lack of “hooks” really decreases the album’s replay value.

Though it’s a positive attribute to have an album that meshes together in a demonic concoction of satanic black metal so perfectly that the whole album feels like one moment, it’s lack of range and diversity may hurt it’s chances of it being a modern classic. The first thing that stands out is the album’s ability to mesh every note, riff, and beat together so well that it is constructed in a way that the album basically sounds like one long song of epic proportions. ![]() They are definitely one of the best black metal bands to come out of Italy and with this album, they continue to carry on the torch left behind by an era of great black metal bands. ![]() They never slow down or let up, creating an ever speed increasing whirling pool of pain and torment. ![]() Malfeitor play face-ripping Christ-crucifying black metal, and they play it loud and noisy. Incubus doesn‘t really make a dramatic change from Unio Mystica Maxima, but rather a polishing of their established sound and style. Their second release, “Incubus” is the logical progression and evolution from their previous album. Malfeitor is a towering behemoth in the world of Italian metal, and in the current black metal scene as well.
