It is a musical powerhouse from Germany and Switzerland - with a magnificent beard. Malstrom uses sounds and influences from progressive rock, nu metal and electronic music and gives them a completely new guise thanks to an improvisational philosophy and complex compositions. The band's sound is created by a mixture of jazz, free improvisation and rock elements of the 90s, combined with a full, sometimes brute sound facade produced by the 8-string electric guitar, merciless grooves and ostinatos as well as saxophone.
The Malstrom devours everything in its reach, be it light, sound or matter. It sucks everything into its vortex, drawing it deeper and deeper into the very center of the Malstrom. But what do you find at the core, at the very bottom of the swirl? The eye of the storm? A void, sheer nothingness? Is it a place of calmness that contrasts the furious edges? Does the Malstrom ever end?
And most importantly: Are you ready to find out?
