If you enjoyed any of the older material, you’ll certainly love “Malice” as well. After listening to the first few tracks, the record struck me as being death metal with a heavy groove to the sound. I wouldn’t even call this “metalcore.” The riffs and few “breakdowns” are more in tune with a death metal feel than most metalcore. The drumming is very double bass oriented, the vocals are provided courtesy of Nate (formerly of Premonitions of War) and production duties were handled by Erik Rutan (ex-Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal). Add these together and it makes for a crisp, killer album! Definitely shocked and suprised me to hear the difference and forward movement of this release compared to the last one. Just straight up heavy from the first track on.. I’m not much for reviews, but thats my opinion!
