NEWS: Malevolence love nothing more than adding insult to injury!

Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium) and pushing forward without compromise, Steel City Kings Malevolence are promising their heaviest hitting album yet in “Where Only The Truth Is Spoken” on 20th June via Nuclear Blast. As the band tour Australia with Alpha Wolf a third single from it has been unveiled in “Salt The Wound” before they join Hatebreed and Bleeding Through on the Summer Slaughter tour in the US this summer.

Vocalist Alex Taylor comments: “‘Salt The Wound’ is the product of us making a conscious decision to bridge the two faces of Malevolence. On one hand we have the heavy aggressive side, and on the other we have the slower melodic songs, so we wanted a song that could combine the two.

The video was entirely shot in Sheffield and the surrounding areas. From the industrial depths of Sheffield, a 900-year-old ruined Abbey, to a perfect sunrise over some of the incredible hills of Derbyshire, there is some incredible scenery in the north of the UK which we sometimes take for granted, so this song felt like the perfect opportunity to show case some of that.

From the moment I heard the guitar solo Josh had written for this song, I pictured him on a mountain top doing the solo, so we made it happen, Malev style!”
