Malaise's last release is an EP consisting of six tracks of which only three are new tunes (the first one "Walking Throught The Wonderland 2k2 Remix" hasalready been released on the "Fifty Two Ways" album and "Assimilate" has been released on the MCD "Secession"). This has been the first time I've the opportunity of listening to this band and for those of you that, like me, are new to the band, I can say that they seemed to me like a Sister Of Mercy meets Fields Of The Nephilim crossover. The only difference is that along with distorted guitars you can find synths and a drum sound similar to Dr Avalanche's one. The songs have got a driving sound and if you are a Sister Of Mercy fan you can find a good atmosphere made of goth, a little bit of ebm and lots of darkness.
