Epic blackened melodeath conjurers MALPHAS unveil their latest offering, “The Conjuring”, out now via M-Theory Audio. A reimagining of one of the first songs the band ever wrote, the single fuses their raw early energy with the refined intensity of their modern sound.

Following the acclaim of their 2024 sophomore album Portal (M-Theory Audio), MALPHAS now look both forward and backward with “The Conjuring”, a track that serves as a creative bridge between their origins and the mythos of their upcoming third album.
“The Conjuring is one of the early tracks we recorded as a band – our songwriting was still in an embryonic state, so we decided to revisit it for the 10 year mark of our first release. We rewrote and rearranged parts of it in the vein of our modern sound and were pleasantly surprised by the result. The role of the Conjurer is central to the story of The 39th Spirit and will be linked to the events in our third album.” — Paul DeSanctis
With cinematic orchestration, blistering guitars, and a deep-rooted narrative core, “The Conjuring” reinforces Malphas’ position as a defining force in the evolving landscape of extreme metal.
To build momentum for their forthcoming third full-length, MALPHAS will hit the road this July on the Steel and Sorcery Tour in support of ICE GIANT, alongside CELESTIAL WIZARD, with special guests TROLLWAR on select dates. Presented by M-Theory Audio and Witches Brew, this spellbinding run will bring myth, metal, and mayhem across North America.
In the meantime, ‘Portal’ is still available on CD and digital platforms https://lnk.to/malphas
‘Portals’ was recorded, mixed and mastered by Chris Kelly (Ice Nine Kills, Baby Metal, Galactic Empire).
