Amalekim | HVHI | 2021

International Black Metal

.

Shir Hashirim by Amalekim marks a striking moment of maturity for the band, a step beyond the raw ferocity of their first two albums. Where earlier works carried the unrefined fire of youthful chaos, here that energy is sculpted into something grander, more deliberate, and profoundly commanding. The sound is richer, the compositions more layered, and the vision infinitely more cohesive.

Each track feels like a carefully woven tapestry: guitars, vocals, and percussion intertwine to create a dark, poetic vastness. The melodies — spectral and piercing — rise from within the storm, sending chills down the spine and lingering like ghostly echoes long after the music ends. There is both brutality and beauty at play, but now balanced with a refined sense of craft that shows just how far Amalekim have come.

Shir Hashirim is not merely a continuation, but an ascension. It is the work of a band that has grown beyond raw aggression into mastery, summoning an atmosphere that is both terrifying and transcendent. Amalekim have achieved a rare form of artistry here: an album that is not only darker and heavier, but also wiser, deeper, and utterly unforgettable.

Amalekim - Shir Hashirim

Black Metal from Italy / Poland

Italian/Polish black metal band Amalekim continues their collaboration with Avantgarde Music to release their third album, Shir Hashirim, two years after their previous work Avodah Zarah. Founded in 2020 by Mróz (vocals and guitar), Amalekim released their first album, HVHI, the same year. In 2022, the band, with a completely renewed line-up, released their sophomore album, Avodah Zarah to critical acclaim. The traced path now continues with Shir Hashirim, their third work, walking a more innovative path and encasing more dissonant sounds. The new work embraces once again the occult, the profane, the hermetic, not only in the music, but also in the concept and lyrics. AMALEKIM makes a clear statement with “Shir Hashirim” and is undoubtedly one of the strongest representatives of the avant-garde music scene. If you like melodic, aggressive, and fast black metal, you've definitely come to the right place!
