MALUM is set to release their next chapter, From the Voids, on the 27th of March. While firmly rooted in Malum’s established sonic foundation, the album is more aggressive, continuing the confrontational path introduced on Towards Nothingness. It is driven by anger and stands as a ruthless observation of the world as it appears — dark, broken, and hollow.
The second taste of the album is the track “Hollow”, which is released today and can be heard here:

The band has this to say about the song:
“Hollow” is Malum’s descent into inner emptiness and modern disorientation. The song
examines fragile human urges, addiction, and the silent longing to feel something — even if
that feeling is death. Musically darker and more groove-driven, it expands the band’s sound
while remaining rooted in bleak melodic intensity. Lyrically, it confronts wasted time, shame,
and exposing existence as brief, hollow, and frighteningly disposable.
The forthcoming full length consists of six tracks and does not abandon the band’s core identity but drives it forward with greater force and clarity. Having refined its expression into a cold and faceless descent toward inner collapse and existential void, Malum directs that vision beyond introspection. The music is sharpened to its core, carrying Malum’s bleak vision without compromise. Once again with cover art by Den Unge Herr Holm.
Tracklist:
- Stare Into Darkness
- Ignorance Made Bliss
- In Gloom II
- Deranged and Depraved
- Hollow
- From the Voids
Malum rose from the ashes as a brand-new entity in the Norwegian underground scene. Their prime directive is raw, atmospheric and melodic black metal — with a sound rooted in the bleak traditions of the second wave of black metal and shaped by modern existentialism and nihilism. Malum delivers music that is both oppressive and cathartic and has carved a path through Norway’s underground with raw intensity and philosophical depth.
Malum is not merely a band — it is a confrontation. With the self. With silence. With nothingness.
“From the Voids” will be available on CD, Black Vinyl and Limited Edition Splatter Vinyl (100 copies) and can be pre-ordered here:
