High Roller Records, ltd 350, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, download codeNorway may be the cradle of second-wave black metal, but the country also boasts a small but fine thrash scene with internationally recognized acts such as Nekromantheon, Inculter or Blood Tsunami. Enter Maltuka from Bergen, a new rising force within the genre set to go places with their four-track debut EP InchBlack RiteInch. Guitarist/singer Viljar Brunvoll and drummer Mats first collaborated in 2016/17, recording two EPs and playing several shows as members of Psykopath. When that band dissolved, the two continued working together on demos, which eventually gave birth to Maltuka. InchAside from our own desire to play thrash metal, Inch says Viljar, Inchwe believe the Norwegian scene has room for more variation. We also like to think we bring something fresh to the table-our own sound and expression-while still paying homage to the classic elements of the genre.Inch With influences ranging from usual suspects such as Metallica or Slayer across Nuclear Assault to Teutonic legends Sodom as well as Maltuka's corpse-painted countrymen Immortal, the members indeed manage to give the tried and tested thrash formula an individual twist. Lyrically, InchBlack RiteInch explores spiritual and occult themes, adding depth and atmosphere to the music. Although a track like 'Xolotl' draws from Aztec folklore, Viljar notes InchWe're not a band with a clear-cut message. The lyrics are meant to complement the music.Inch The EP's cover art, which is based on a painting by Kim Diaz Holm (Sólstafir, Vreid), visually represents the dark themes of the songs. And while they serve as an introduction to Maltuka's sound, the group has ambitious plans for their future. InchThis EP showcases our heavier, more to-the-point style of songwriting, Inch Viljar concludes. InchOur eventual first album will be more dynami

Franz Liszt had an overwhelming impact on the musical life of his time through revolutionary innovations in harmony, form and pianistic technique. Both Liszt and his brilliant musical heir Ferruccio Busoni regarded their compositions as living entities, always suitable for recycling and reshaping to create new works. This program is an illustration of this practice, with Goran Filipec freely extending and varying the cadenzas in the Hungarian Fantasy, while Busoni enhances the emotional states of horror, grotesque comedy and sublime serenity in the Totentanz. Goran Filipec is renowned for his exceptional interpretations of the works of Franz Liszt and the high virtuosity of his Classical and Romantic repertoire. A laureate of several international piano competitions, Filipec has appeared internationally as a recitalist and soloist with symphony orchestras across Europe, the Americas and Japan. He has been invited on multiple occasions to the Mariinsky Theatre Contemporary Piano Faces festival, Progetto Martha Argerich and Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Filipec is co-founder and president of the Société Franz Liszt de Genève, which is devoted to the appreciation and study of the Hungarian composer's oeuvre.
