Slovakian eccentrics Malokarpatan have built an enviable reputation in the underground with their unique sound, based on 80s and 90s black metal, thrash and heavy metal, with nods to the likes of Master's Hammer, Root, Tormentor, Mercyful Fate, Bathory and Mortuary Drape, as well as second wave black metal touches.

Live shows across Europe and North America have solidified their underground fanbase, and after a period of line-up changes, they are back, this time in a purely studio form with an ambitious conceptual work titled Vertumnus Caesar. Staying true to their fascination with local heritage, this album expands into the band's Central European identity. Mapping the mysterious life of Emperor Rudolf II, infamous for his involvement in the esoteric arts, the album is an adventurous ride through the days of late renaissance hermeticism, an occult rock opera dimming the lines between first-wave black metal, classic heavy metal, and progressive rock.
