When that band dissolved, the two continued working together on demos, which eventually gave birth to MALTUKA. With influences ranging from Metallica and Slayer across Nuclear Assault to Teutonic legends Sodom as well as MALTUKA\u2019s corpse-painted countrymen Immortal, the members give the tried and tested thrash formula an individual twist. Lyrically, \"Black Rite\" explores spiritual and occult themes, adding depth and atmosphere to the music.<br><br>The EP\u2019s cover art, which is based on a painting by Kim Diaz Holm (S\u00f3lstafir, Vreid), visually represents the dark themes of the songs. And while they serve as an introduction to MALTUKA\u2019s sound, the group has ambitious plans for their future. \u201cThis EP showcases our heavier, more to-the-point style of songwriting,\u201d Viljar comments. \u201cOur eventual first album will be more dynamic, featuring a broader range of influences and sounds.\u201d<br><br>With \"Black Rite\", MALTUKA make a bold statement, offering an original take on thrash metal while also celebrating its roots.
