Portuguese metallers MALEVOLENCE today release Antithetical, their brand new studio album.

Says vocalist/guitarist Carlos Cariano: "The path leading to this point has been long, it wasn’t easy to pass some of life's adversities in the process, and through it 14 years flashed before our eyes. The burden of carrying such a colossal work on our shoulders for so many years is now gone but thinking in retrospective every single day we spent on the process to achieve the musical work depicted on Antithetical was extremely challenging and rewarding. Albums like this are tremendously demanding, life consuming and sometimes extremely painful to create. On the other hand the music is incredibly invigorating and inspiring. Love Us Or Hate Us – Malevolence sounds like no other except for the similarities to the minds from where it has arisen."

Antithetical is the follow-up to 1999’s Martyrialized that was recorded in Fredman Studio by Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, OPETH, SOILWORK). The album 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.
