Track By Tracks: Malignea - A Aldeia (2025)

1. Laudes (Intro):

A ceremonial opening that sets the atmosphere of the village — a sonic invocation that prepares the listener for the journey ahead.

2. A Dança:

Evokes a communal ritual reminiscent of medieval dancing mania: a movement that spreads through a group, symbolizing collective energy between ecstasy and despair. The sound suggests frenzy and madness.

3. A Bruxa:

A darker, heavier track centered on the figure of the witch — a symbol of fear, power, and superstition. It is a voice that curses or confronts the community.

4. A Aldeia

The heart of the album portrays the village (real or imagined) as a mythical place full of secrets, traditions, and tension between ritual and reality. The track explores the lives and hidden sins of its inhabitants like a living legend.

5. O Poço:

An introspective piece exploring depth — physical or psychological. A symbolic place of transformation, fear, or revelation, possibly linked to tales of witchcraft or trials.

6. O Moinho:

The longest track on the album is a slow and progressive journey representing the grinding of secrets, the wear of time, or the unstoppable forces of nature and superstition. It builds tension and immersion.

7. O Rei do Inferno:

Symbolizes the presence of ultimate evil or the embodiment of the villagers’ deepest fears — an entity that controls or guides their destiny.

8. Vésperas (Outro):

A ritualistic closing that mirrors Laudes, suggesting the sunset over the revealed mysteries or the continuation of the legend beyond the music.
