Malevolence

UK 2020 10", EP, Repress, Silver. Each of the three songs approaches the band’s core sound from a different angle.Opening with track ‘Remain Unbeaten’ recalls the muscular, breakdown-heavy sound of their 2017 album ‘Self Supremacy’ with its double-bass peddle and rapid pace. Taylor’s gruff vocals tear rapidly through the lyrics with such varying force it’s like being fired upon by machine guns of different calibres. Just like the previous song, guitarists Konan Hall and Josh Baines add rapid flourishes to their playing, which help keep everything extremely slick.
