MALEVOLENCE The bloody roots of Malevolence stretch back to 2010 when childhood friends, guitarists Josh
Baines and Hall, who had been playing together since 2005 joined up with bassist Wilkie
Robinson and rummer Charlie Thorpe and recorded the first proper Malevolence demo with
Taylor on vocals. Fueled on a steady diet of Roadrunner Records samplers and Road Rage tours,
the seeds for Malevolence were planted. âSeeing Chimaira and Killswitch Engage were some of
my earliest metal concerts,â says Alex, âand theyâre some of my favorite bands to this day. The
kind of diversity those bands brought to the table inspired us to do what we do. They never
limited themselves to one sound.â In 2013, Malevolence burst upon the worldwide stage with
the release of the debut album Reign of Suffering on Siege of Amida/Century Media, touring
Europe with Dying Fetus and then charging through America with Kublai Khan and Jesus Piece.
