Finally the wait is over and Antithetical has been released everywhere today by Carbon Medien Records.

“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”, said Carlos Cariano.

Malevolence consists of Paulo Pereira (Keyboards & Programming), Aires Pereira (Bass), Fred Noel (Guitars), Carlos Cariano (Vox & Guitars) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums). Antithetical is available via iTunes plus in a plethora of stores worldwide.

The French ALTERNATIVE MAGAZINE ISSUE #2 features an interview with the Portuguese Extreme Progressive Metallers MALEVOLENCE.

SLITHERING and DEVOURED UNLIMITED come off MALEVOLENCE's third  studio album, ANTITHETICAL, which will be released on the 2^nd half of 2013. The CD was recorded by Paulo Pereira at 20M2SEA Studio in Leiria, Portugal and was mixed by V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, OBSCURA, PESTILENCE) at his WOODSHED Studio in Landshut, Germany.

SLITHERING, the official video from Portuguese Extreme Progressive Metallers MALEVOLENCE, can be seen at this location.

MALEVOLENCE press forward that DEVOURED UNLIMITED, the 2^nd single extracted from their upcoming 3^rd album ANTITHETICAL is now playing!

MALEVOLENCE had this to say about the audiovisual:

“We wanted to go further by exploring additional ways to present our music. The concept this time is based in a raw model script build up by our singer & vocalist CARLOS CARIANO. The visual background inspired in a straight line by the script was designed by KKSTRUCTURES while the final PROJEKT assemblage was generated by our long time teammate EURICO BERNARDO. We feel very pleased with the outcome and the final results perfectly extrapolate the devastating aura of our brand new single.”

For a product made completely in Portugal, based just on a couple of raw notes and scribbles, this is the perfect demonstration that no huge investments are required to achieve an entertaining product. DEVOURED UNLIMITED serves as a testimonial to contradict the actual economic and social chaos panorama overfilling the Portuguese shores, yet manages to prove that it is necessary to move on, to be perseverant, to explore imagination and dedicate energy to find new ways to continue on giving good entertainment and OPTIMISM to the masses!

The audiovisual now playing is presented by MALEVOLENCE in a direct association with KKSTRUCTURES and CARBON MEDIEN.

Portuguese extreme progressive metallers MALEVOLENCE are proud to press forward that DEVOURED UNLIMITED, the 2^nd single extracted from their upcoming 3^rd album ANTITHETICAL will be available on Friday, January 25^th.

DEVOURED UNLIMITED draws a parallel on wars linking the precedent atrocities known to men with the present state of destruction and the pandemonium that is about to come.

The audio episode verses about solid facts and renders the ironic ARBEIT MACHT FREI statement amongst the flagellation brought to the world by the Nazi regime.

The artwork for the brand new single was once more propelled ahead by the design bureau KKSTRUCTURES.

While DEVOURED UNLIMITED is not available watch/listen the official video/audio for the 1st single SLITHERING extracted from ANTITHETICAL down below.

SLITHERING, the brand new video from Portuguese Extreme Progressive Metallers MALEVOLENCE will premiere exclusively via METAL UNDERGROUND in USA, PUREGRAINAUDIO in CANADA and ARTE SONORA in PORTUGAL. It was directed by David Barros of 4THERECORDS. SLITHERING, written by guitarist/vocalist Carlos Cariano, is taken from the band’s upcoming third album ANTITHETICAL, which will be released in 2013.

Carlos commented about the new video: “SLITHERING was the first single extracted from our impending new album. DECIBEL MAGAZINE kindly assisted us to make the PREMIERE of the audio episode some weeks ago, helping us in the process to show the song writing diversity on ANTITHETICAL. Now we are moving forward and presenting the visual production of our first (ever) music video interrelated with the same song. To achieve that we worked with 4THERECORDS, a young company producing mainly short films and commercials. SLITHERING is their boldest achievement to date and we are truly pleased with the visual quality of our first cooperation with this entity.  The support of 4THERECORDS was central and decisive to attain the professional final results”.

Considering the alliance held for this PREMIERE, Carlos added: “Subsequent to the PREMIERE of SLITHERING we received rave reviews far and wide. The interest upon ANTITHETICAL grows on a daily basis rate. Sharing our video through such professional media, in 3 different Countries at the same time means quite something!”

All the media involved in this alliance have been faithfully serving up mainstream and underground to their ever growing global fan base.

On November 2 you’ll get to decide whether or not we all succeeded.
