Malevolence - Where Only The Truth Is Spoken (Gold Vinyl) LP
With Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, Sheffield heavyweights Malevolence deliver the most focused and powerful album of their career so far. Built on everything the band has developed since their underground beginnings, the record pushes their signature blend of crushing riffs, hardcore attitude and massive hooks to an entirely new level.
Malevolence never waited for permission. From sweaty underground venues to dominating festival stages across Europe and the US, the band has earned its reputation through relentless touring, unstoppable live performances and an uncompromising work ethic. With their fourth studio album, they step confidently onto the global stage while remaining firmly rooted in the values that built their name: loyalty, honesty and brotherhood.
The album was recorded in California at the legendary Studio 606, home of Dave Grohl, using the historic Neve 8078 mixing console, the same desk that shaped iconic albums such as Nevermind, Rumours and Wildflowers. This iconic studio environment proved to be the perfect setting for Malevolence to capture a record that feels both classic and brutally modern.
Working alongside acclaimed producer Josh Wilbur, known for his work with Lamb of God, Gojira and Trivium, the band sharpened their songwriting without sacrificing their trademark heaviness. The result is an album that balances crushing metallic grooves with anthemic choruses and razor-sharp aggression.
Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that Malevolence have carried since day one. The songs deal with perseverance, integrity and the realities of life within and beyond the music world. Rather than hiding behind clichés, the band delivers a brutally honest reflection of their journey, the struggles, victories and bonds that have brought them to this point.
The album also features a powerful guest appearance by Randy Blythe on the track In Spite, creating a moment where two generations of heavy music collide. It’s both a nod of respect from one of metal’s most recognizable voices and a statement that Malevolence have firmly earned their place among the modern leaders of the genre.
Presented here on Limited Edition Gold Vinyl, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken is a must-have for fans of contemporary heavy music and a powerful snapshot of a band hitting their creative peak.
