Malist is an enigmatic figure in the realm of black metal, where evocative soundscapes meet the pensive depths of dark introspection. The project burst onto the scene with its brooding and melancholic debut, "In the Catacombs of Time," released in 2019. This conceptual musical endeavor is the brainchild of a talented Russian artist, Kirill 'Olie' S., whose creative vision encapsulates both the chilling isolation of the Siberian landscape and a profound reflection on the human condition.

From the shadowed corridors of its inception, Malist continued to carve its path with a series of compelling releases. The sophomore effort, "To Mantle the Rising Sun," arrived in 2020, displaying heightened dynamism and an immersive narrative flow. Kirill's capacity to blend melodic passages with the raw energy of traditional black metal gained Malist a dedicated following. Subsequent works such as "Karst Relict" and "As I Become Darkness" further expanded on this formula, showcasing an artist not afraid to grow and evolve while staying true to the project's core thematic elements. The 2022 release, "Ode to the Night," reaffirms Malist's penchant for creating atmospheric records that resonate with fans of the genre, cementing the project’s place as a notable entity in the black metal soundscape.
