Unspeakable Cults
Malefactor
The Malefactor delights in crushing the dreams of the unruly masses. Only servility will appease his insatiable desires. When futile uprisings stir anew the dreams of rebellion, the necessity for disabuse of these notions of liberty becomes greater. The puppets currently occupying the executive seats of the world's great powers do their best to deflate the hopes of the many, limited as these dimwits are to fulfill The Malefactor's grand design. Tonight, the stirrings of rebellion play their cacophanous tune, a history lesson in the sounds of urban misery from one of the world's historic slums, displaying the evolution of New York Death Metal from the ground of New York Hardcore.
Behold the Malefactor's unholy presence here.
