Symphonic/epic metal act Malphas (the Philadelphia one) have announced a new LP, Portal. This is their sophomore full-length, and joins 2018’s The 39th Spirit LP, as well as the 2015 The Conjuring EP. Portal is scheduled for release on 29 Mar 2024 via M-Theory Audio.
To mark the announcement, Malphas have released the first single from the new LP, “Red Shield Syndicate.” It’s a symphonic metal tour de force, and has a few surprises in store (at one point you will 100% think the song accidentally switched to an early Mike Patton Faith No More track).
Hear the single below, and visit Malphas at their Bandcamp to preorder the album on CD and digital, or swing by Spotify to stream.
