There aren't many stories from the metal world over the last decade that are quite as surprising or impressive as the rise of Malevolence. Since grabbing the attention of the UK underground with their superb 2013 debut album, Reign Of Suffering, they’ve crept slowly but surely into a position where they’re filling some of the most prestigious venues in the country and stealing the show at every festival stage they set foot on.
Not bad for a bunch of Sheffield hardcore kids with no gimmicks or obvious mainstream crossover appeal. Against all the odds, it’s not impossible to believe that Malevolence could be on the brink of becoming the next big shock success story in heavy music, à la Lorna Shore or Knocked Loose.
