Review

The whole album is much like a grim portrait of the human soul, and after the somewhat disappointing effort of Subliminal Genocide, Defective Epitaph is a welcome return to form and variation that Malefic built his reputation on. Malefic uses his paintbrush and canvas to paint a picture of black and grey and just when you believe you are safe from the unending terror of nihilism Malefic appears, in the listener's room with his paintbrush and begins to cover the listener's mind with the paint of absolute horror, the colors of a bleak future. Be wary, for this ground you tread on may fall from beneath you, leaving you with nothing but a gripping sense of loss and the ending torture of Malefic's genius work. - Metal Observer 5/5
