Background

Speaking about the album, vocalist Ash Costello said, "Malevolence is the most personal album we have ever written to date. More than ever you can really feel the blood and tears in these lyrics. It wasn't an easy process because it was so emotional but what came from it is honest and real. It's therapeutic and angry but still shows vulnerability.

"Our producer Erik Ron will always start an album by asking me 'what are you feeling right now?" to which I replied 'pissed off.' I think anyone that has suffered through loss, betrayal, insecurity and abandonment will absolutely relate to it. For me, it felt so good to get everything I had been bottling up out and hopefully it helps others in the process."[7]

The song "Defame Me" from the Epidemic EP appears on the CD.

Release

The album's first single, Kill or Be Killed was debuted while the band was on Warped Tour 2015.[8] Pre-orders became available at the band's merch tent the same day the single was officially released.[9]
