NOTE: Not to be confused with Christian death/thrash band Malak from El Salvador, with death/unblack band Malak from Germany, or with raw unblack band Malak from Brazil.

BAND NAME: Malakh
GENRE: Unblack Metal
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: South Korea (Busan)

Formed in 2015.
Note that Metal Archives lists Malakh as a continuation of Dan's secular bands; a change of name. I'm pretty sure that's inaccurate - I'm pretty sure this is a new project, but I'm not certain.

Left Christianity near the beginning of 2016, but returned to Christianity in 2018.

... And now his Facebook page is down again, so I don't know if the project is still active.

Name is spelled "Mal'Akh" on Spotify.

Lineup:
권태훈 "דן / Dan" - All instruments, Vocals

1) Church Bells on Judgement Day
1:10, instrumental

2) Holy Crusaders of the Darkwood
3:28, lyrics:
We are crusaders of the darkwood
Refuge the black spirits and soul
Master of Holyfire and sword and God

Holy crusader of the dark wood
Black death warriors of heaven
We are holy mighty warriors of God

Under the gray sky woods of Dark and bleak forest
Sacred eastern warriors takes a rising sword

Holy crusader of the dark wood
We are warriors of God
Black death mighty warriors
Darken gloomy hell of demon
Crushing the evil cry for blood

Holy eastern fire of unblack spirit
Endless infinity of life and death
Kill the bloody evil glory and win
Holy warriors of darkwoods we alive


3) Abnormal Killer
4:40, lyrics:
Land cursed the red star away
Feast for the desire
Dirty pleaser to destroy truth
Feast of the red fucking pigs

Song for the death of people
For pleasure and desire
Resounding killers' shots
Final destination is Hell

Red pigs for slaughter
Society called the blood
Wants to avoid abnormal system
The eternal fire of Hell

Blood voice was longing for freedom
Life is destroyed and call their soul
Must win to advance to the North
Hypocrisy of the dead to follow

Abnormal killer
Killer-blade pigs to the slaughter
Eternal torture
Cut the neck of red fucking pigs
Abnormal killer
We are guardians of our liberty
Eternal torture
Clan of warriors willing to die

Abnormal killer
Killer-blade pigs to the slaughter
Eternal torture
Cut the neck of red fucking pigs
Abnormal killer
We are guardians of our liberty
Eternal torture
Clan of warriors willing to die

Crushing evil is burned
Fucking demon all dies


4) Children of Light
5:15, lyrics:
A world full of sins
Walking distance of the corps
Black shadow has fallen
Abyss of bloodshed and madness

Childrens of light
Sons of God with the light
Holy masters of the true world
Great light leads to the Heaven

Pure world of childrens
Holy fire of protecting the light
Keep them out of the angels
Great qodesh will be reborn again

Destroy the abyss and out of the darkness
Depending on the wings of angels
Great Heaven of the fire wheels
Follow the light of the glory of God

אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָׁמַיִם יִתְקַדֵשׁ שִׁמךָ
תָּבא מַלְכוּתֶךָ יֵעָשֶׂה רְצוֹנְךָ בָּאָרֶץ כַּאֲשֶר נַעֲשָׂה בַשָמַיִם
תֶן לָנוּ הַיּוֹם לֶחֶם חֻקֵּנוּ
וּסְלַח לָנוּ אֶת אַשְׁמָתֵנוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר סלְחִים אַנַחְנוּ לַאֲשֶׁר אָשְׁמוּ לָנוּ
וְאַל-תְּבִיאֵנוּ לִידֵי מַסָּה כִי אִם-הַצִילֵנוּ מִן-הָרָע
כִּי לְךָ הַמַּמְלָכָה וְהַגְּבוּרָה וְהַתִפְאֶרֶת לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן
(Lord's Prayer in Hebrew)

Lie is truly changing
Weapons varies with flowers
Childrens of light
A glorious place of the Heaven

Devil's head crashing
The light of the cross
Than the bright sun
Shall reign over the sunlight
Holy light of the glorious Heaven

Destroy the abyss and out of the darkness
Follow the light of the glory of God


5) Invert the Inverted Cross (Horde cover)
3:02, lyrics:
The cross of Christ
Turned upside down
Symbol of his supposed defeat
Those in darkness
Rejoice in this
But the truth is revealed to the chosen

Christ stormed the gates of Hell
To take the keys thereof
Now the keys of death and Hades
Belong to the Eternal One
Hell awaits the demonic forces
Who seek to pervert the cross
Flaming hellfire destruction
Is their final dwelling place

So, what remains to be said?

Invert the inverted cross
The inversion is but a lie
Upright it should stand
No longer an inversion
But a symbol of supreme victory

______________________________
IncompletePage, UncertainInfo, SimilarTo
1) Is this project still active? 2) Which songs are featured in "Malakh Unofficial Live" and the "Bonus Live Tracks"? 3) Is this a separate project, or a new name for his old bands? 4) On Bandcamp, it says the 1 August version has 7 songs. I have 8 listed here. Which of these is correct?



LAYOUT PHOTOS
(In time, I hope to expand this section.)
Since there are so many versions of the EP, I thought it easier to list the album layouts separately.

10 May version:


Either the 31 May version or the 1 August version, I'm not sure

This one is definitely a photo of the 1 August 2015 version:
 
 
Similar to: [SECULAR] Arnaut Pavle, Satans Elite Kommando, Taekaury, Sorgland, Gladsheim, Winterscars, [CHRISTIAN] Crucifijo impúdico, Horde, Elgibbor, Thy Fiery Haze, (add more later)
