Portuguese metallers MALEVOLENCE are back on November 22nd with Antithetical, their brand new studio album. Antithetical is the follow-up to 1999’s Martyrialized that was recorded in Fredman Studio by Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, OPETH, SOILWORK).

Check out the official third single, 'Antithetical', below:

Malevolence feels that Antithetical will surpass even this: "We are at a creative peak right now, and Antithetical as an album reflects that. Everything from the production, to the writing, to the performances are a step up from our last album.”

'Slithering' and 'Devoured Unlimited', the two previously advanced singles exposed direct and in your face songs while Antithetical as an individual song expands further demonstrating another dimension.

“Antithetical is one of our most forward thinking songs," Malevolence adds. "We explored and enhanced the contrast between elements from the progressive and the extreme metal fields to add another perspective to the whole album”.

Antithetical was produced by Carlos Cariano and recorded in 20M2SEA Studio by Paulo Pereira in Portugal. Mixed and mastered at Woodshed Studio by V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, PESTILENCE), the album counts with drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, DEVIN TOWNSEND) on the drumming patterns. "Working with Malevolence was extremely challenging, but in the end the album turned out great,” said V. Santura. “I especially like the overall aggressivity and those few, but very delicate industrial elements - Quite special!"
