Mallephyr

Mallephyr is a black/death metal group from Czechia. The band forms at the end of 2013, when the trio Opat, Tom and Adam start writing the first songs with a clear idea of the style and direction they want to follow. In summer 2014, bass player Sinneral joins and the line-up becomes complete.
