Malum is a five-piece metalcombo from southern Sweden that was summoned out of the ashes from Svart Tanke in the year 2005, this is how we've been described:
Malum sounds like a young Meshuggah who's been eavesdropping on hardcore and then gotten angry at something. What I'm not certain of, but I don't really have time to think about it anyways. Because the headbanging factor is high in these thigt, brutal metal tracks, which sound as if they've been spit out with pissed off and uncensored inspiration. The production is just right, it feels like lashes in the ears. I'm not certain as to wether this is intentional or not, considering this is a self-made demo, but regardless which, I think these Scanians have found just the right sound for what the're trying to do. Later this year 'Fruit' will be realsed as a split on the german label Ampire Records, and I foretell a bright future for the band, even though they themselves would rather it'd be a dark one.

Swedish Malum focuses on quick, heavy chugs. The razor sharp attack on ‘Fruit’ [7/10] is based just as much on modern, challenging hardcore as relentless thrash metal of the brutal but technical school. The focus is not on intricate measures but on sly breaks and unexpected twists. Even as the monotonous chugging breaks loose, two layers are always present, the first just as pleasing for the ears as the other. The go of the finishing track ‘Caryopsis’ is like an orgasmic bomb raid for the soul. I am forced to lie down when the last tone has stopped sounding.

Strong rhythms and hard grooving Malum hails from Landskrona(Sweden). The mechanical brutal music lacks regular riffs and concentrates everything on a fat and snarly go, enriched by occasional ghost-like guitar licks. Which is absolutly the right thing to do. Like many times before Meshuggah acts as role models. Malum has also studied their masters well and the three tracks are well worth the effort to get to know better. If the future releases keeps the same unpolished and raw sound it would make me really happy
