Mamaleek

Mamaleek has been a well-kept secret for a long time. Two anonymous brothers recording in a bedroom somewhere in San Francisco, repeatedly creating some of the most intriguing, aesthetically-realized Black Metal anywhere. The extremely limited releases of their self-titled debut and 2008′s Fever Dream had collectors freaking out – densly-layered, melodic, tinged with Middle-Eastern and World Music influences, experimental and original while remaining, at it’s core, listenable and accesible – Mamaleek was making music at the heart of Black Metal’s possibilities without becoming bogged down by its increasingly strict genre conventions.
