NEWS: Malphas sign with M-Theory Audio and premier “Red Shield Syndicate”!

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Chris Kelly (Ice Nine Kills, Babymetal, Galactic Empire), a second collection of tales revolving around the demon Malphas and his encounters with people in life and death titled “Portal” is set for 29th March via M-Theory Audio. Told in a  sound comprised of Symphonic Melodic Death and Black Metal, the album is the creation of Philadelphia’s Malphas, an outfit who celebrate by sharing “Red Shield Syndicate” cut from it.

Vocalist and guitarist Paul DeSanctis comments: “Malphas is honored and excited to join such a talented roster and world class team at M-Theory,.We’ve worked hard on this new album for the past few years, are thankful to have found a home for it and have great confidence in what we will accomplish through our partnership.”

“Portal takes place chronologically two hundred years prior to the events of The 39th Spirit. The album explores new themes like politics, economics, and historical events in fleshing out how the dystopian world in The 39th Spirit comes to be.”

“’Red Shield Syndicate’ is an allegory for the Federal Reserve System, the central bank of the United States. The initial villain in the story facilitates the conspiracy between the elite bankers and politicians to cartelize the financial system. The song culminates with an economic depression and political revolution; as an angry mob rises up against the government and overthrows it. But this creates a power vacuum and opens the door for an even worse government under Malphas.”
