"Malum in Se" stands as FUNERAL HARVEST's latest offering a six-track invocation to the Sun of Light, Hēlēl ben Šāḥar. This release pays homage to one of black metal's most spiritually potent cult acts, whose vision helped shape FUNERAL HARVEST's own. "Malum in Se" exalts the adversary. It is a further descent into the shadows, illuminating the glory of Lucifer in defiance of god, and continuing Funeral Harvest's journey through revelation, rebellion, and ruin. None shall be owned. None shall be praised. But thee, Hēlēl ben Šāḥar. "Malum in Se" is a profound spiritual and artistic statement, inspired by the hand of the Devil, drawing on deep themes of transformation and devotion. It is a summoning, a call to the Great Fiery Son of Light. An invocation channeled through the descent into darkness.

The album has six songs, and "Offertorium" is first. The short instrumental is like a hidden prelude to destruction and torture, and warn you to turn back at once. "Draco Nequissime" features darkness that is almost purely black…the kind that no light can touch, and it's also as aggressive as a wolf that hasn't eaten in weeks. Once its fangs sink in, they poison you with disease. The pacing is intense, and it retains an almost hypnotic quality that will soften you for the feast of human flesh that is to come. "Djævulen" dials up the aggression and torture even higher, and is officially off the charts. For me, it's like a storm of black thunderheads that roll in quickly, thunder claps and lightning flashes, and then comes the winds and the deluge. The sound is so harrowing, it could turn your hair white.

"Vox Diaboli" is more of an atmospheric song, mostly consisting of evil organ notes and backing vocals that speak of death. "Angel of Violence" burns with hatred, vengeance, and destruction. The thick, noisy riffs combine with the harsh vocals to create a sound that is indeed very violent. "Truth is Truth, Beyond the god" is a cover from the band CELESTIAL VIOLENCE, and it's also the final song on the album. Not being familiar with the band, the song fits right into the album neatly. The vocals speak of torture, and the thick riff are like walls of flame. The final push is agonizing…almost like your flesh is being peeled off one layer at a time. This was a haunting album that you could easily relive as a recurring nightmare, and once you open the door and invite it in, it will never leave until you are dead.
