MLVLTD! With their fourth studio album, modern metal's finest step into a new league since their critically and commercially lauded Malicious Intent (2022). Where Only The Truth Is Spoken delivers on everything Malevolence have built so far-harder riffs, bigger hooks, and an undeniable presence that has taken them from Sheffield to the world stage. Recorded in California at Dave Grohl's legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana's "Nevermind," Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," and Tom Petty's "Wildflowers." For a band that's always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything Malevolence stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band's trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is Malevolence at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.
