Malevolence
Sheffield crew welding Southern-tinged groove riffs to hardcore beatdowns, with a bellowed lead vocal cut by occasional clean hooks on Self Supremacy and Malicious Intent.
Where to see Malevolence
About Malevolence
Malevolence formed in Sheffield in 2010 and plays a heavy, mid-paced hybrid of metallic hardcore and groove metal, with riffs that owe as much to Pantera and Southern sludge as to the UK hardcore scene the band came up in. Alex Taylor handles the main roared vocal, and guitarist Konan Hall supplies the clean singing.
After the debut Reign of Suffering (2013) and Self Supremacy (2017), the band signed to Nuclear Blast, which released Malicious Intent in 2022.
