MALEVOLENCE – release third single/video ‘Still Waters Run Deep’

With only three weeks remaining until the release of their new record ‘Malicious Intent‘, the excitement for this year’s most hotly anticipated metal album is intensifying. Stoking the flames higher, Malevolence reveals their knockout third single, ‘Still Waters Run Deep’. The song and video documents the band’s young career, from 2009 to date, from a fresh-faced, local band to an international touring powerhouse.

Raring to air their new material, Steel City’s finest have secured an impressive run of international touring in 2022. Today, the band are embarking on three headline shows in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, followed by five huge UK arena shows with Architects and Sleep Token.

Malevolence front-man Alex Taylor stated,
“This video is a deep dive into the history of Malevolence. We dug through hours of old archive footage and picked out some highlights from over the years as the song is a tribute to the journey we have set upon together, and the bond it has formed between us.
 
After hundreds of shows and thousands of hours in the van and practice room,
being a part of this band has been the most rewarding experience of our lives and this video reflects the evolution and progress of Malevolence over the last 12 years.
 
We hope you enjoy it!”

The undisputed Heavy Metal Kings of the UK.

In early 2020 came the highly anticipated EP release, The Other Side, introducing a brand-new side of Malevolence. Although only 3 tracks, each song showcased a depth and diversity that is uncommon in modern metal. Heart-wrenching ballads are blended perfectly with technical shredding and crushing breakdowns, effortlessly showcasing the band’s talent as genuine songwriters. Despite the hard-fought success, Malevolence remains an autonomous crew. Operating from their Sheffield-based HQ, a previously derelict warehouse the band transformed themselves, Malevolence handles as much of their in-house operations as they possibly can. Including the formation and operation of Malevolence’s own label, MLVLTD Music. It was through this label that the band self-released The Other Side and although it was a first for the band, the release was a resounding success – racking up close to half a million streams on Spotify and Apple Music in its first few weeks of release.

Malevolence fans will know that their records come few and far between. Emerging onto the scene in 2013 with their debut album Reign of Suffering, which is currently climbing above 2.15 million streams on Spotify. Released as teenagers, the level of song crafting skill stands the test of time and remains a defining moment in the band’s career. The next four years had Malevolence grinding their way through the European continent, gaining recognition as one of the hottest prospects in this new wave of international heavy metal. 2017’s Self Supremacy saw the Sheffield quintet selling out club shows all over Europe, the USA, and even south-east Asia/Japan. This in turn has earned them a cult-like following of die-hard fans, who wear the Malevolence logo on their clothing like a medal of honour.

Now waiting with the brand-new album ‘Malicious Intent’ and plans to tour amongst some of the biggest names in heavy music, Malevolence is poised to become the next legacy name in all of heavy music.
