Malevolence announce seven intimate UK shows

To celebrate the release of their highly-anticipated fourth album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, on June 20, Sheffield bruisers Malevolence will be hitting the road for string of intimate shows across the country.

Kicking off in Newcastle at Think Tank with a hometown show still be revealed for the following day, it's back-to-back barnstormers for a week, culminating at Resident in Brighton on June 26.

Having recently wrapped up a tour across Australia with Alpha Wolf, last week the Steel City sluggers dropped another taste for their new album with Salt The Wound.

“Salt The Wound is the product of us making a conscious decision to bridge the two faces of Malevolence,” says frontman Alex Taylor. “On one hand we have the heavy aggressive side, and on the other we have the slower melodic songs, so we wanted a song that could combine the two.”
