Following the recent announcement of Malevolence’s hugely anticipated new studio album, the Steel City shredders have revealed the details of their biggest European & UK headline tour to date, in Fall 2025, which culminates in a huge show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on Sunday 9th November.
Frontman Alex Taylor comments:
“Yo! We are very excited to announce the biggest headline tour of career yet. It’s absolutely insane to us that we are booked in these huge, historic & legendary venues and we need all of your support to prove to the world of metal that we are capable to smash them as a headliner. We put together the sickest support bill we could possibly find, featuring some of the coolest current bands from across the world – with the goal of creating the biggest and baddest Malev show of all time. We can’t wait. See you in Brixton Academy”!

Malevolence have never waited for permission. From the underground to festival main stages, they’ve built their reputation on sheer force of will, crushing live shows, and an unshakable foundation of heavy riffs and harder work. Now, with their fourth studio album “Where Only the Truth is Spoken”, Sheffield’s finest step into a new league.
Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours”, and Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers”. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything Malevolence stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is Malevolence at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.
Lyrically, “Where Only the Truth is Spoken” reflects the principles that Malevolence have lived by since day one — honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.
