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.

Portuguese extreme progressive metallers MALEVOLENCE announce that their brand new third album is now concluded in terms of recording, mixing and mastering.

The long awaited successor to their second album will be the band’s first official release since their 1999 release MARTYRIALIZED (recorded in Fredman Studios).

The new album was produced entirely by Carlos Cariano, the group’s singer, guitarist, lyricist and main songwriter. All the instrumentation was completely recorded during diverse sessions between the fall of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 by Paulo Pereira (keyboards and programming) at his own 20M2SEA Studio in Portugal.

Vocal recordings, final mixing and mastering were generated in Woodshed Studio in Landshut, Germany, property of producer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, OBSCURA, DARK FORTRESS).

The recording lineup on the new album consists of the same members that were responsible for the generation of MARTYRIALIZED, while introducing session drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, JEFF LOOMIS).

The final album title, track listing and further details shall be revealed soon.
