The producer is Joe Floyd (Warrior) who also was involved in producing records of BRUCE DICKINSON and ROB HALFORD. The album is scheduled for a May release.
The band can`t wait to go on tour and dates will be announced soon. Bass player Robert Cardenas (AGENT STEEL) , who also recorded the new tracks in the studio, will step in for Mark Behn on the live front.
SPV/Steamhammer A&R;/Product manager Olly Hahn comments: "Malice was always underrated. With their two albums In The Beginning and License To Kill they created timeless US Metal and it's time to let all the younger fans know about this and show the older fans that Malice is still capable to write songs in the name of metal. I'm very happy that the band decided to be part of the growing SPV/Steamhammer family."
