A quick-paced post-punk allure breaks through on the latest track from Grave:castle. “Maleficence Kneels To God With Iron Shackles” kicks quickly into gear with a brisk bass line bouncing amidst ghostly synths and haunting wordless vocals. The lead vocals emerge with a debonair, murky quality — bolstered by flashes of keys alongside the steady bass pulse. The eerie synth infusion at mid-point adds to a soundscape fit for autumnal walks, particularly when brooding.
