Malefeasance, a solo album, is the non-rock complement to Stahlhartes Gehause. The ten-minute Vainamoinen Nacht is a purely electronic piece that has an abstract drone slowly unfold a multitude of voices and that ends with the voices having eliminated the electronics. The nine-minute Hitori Bon Odori is another exercise in purely studio manipulation of sounds (both live instruments and field recordings of voices). The 18-minuteFrom A Miserable Abode is pure horror architected out of found sounds, screams and distorted guitars; the flow of nasty noises coalesces into a hornpipe-like lament, one of the many cryptic metaphors that surface in L'Acephale's albums. The 23-minute Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted has 12 minutes of slowly mutating electronic drone and then a delicate tapestry of acoustic guitar. The album also includes a 14-minute remix of Current 93's Sleep Has His House (2000).
