Mallavora announce debut album ‘What If Better Never Comes?’
Bristol-based alt metallers MALLAVORA have announced their debut album!
The upcoming record, titled What If Better Never Comes?, is scheduled to be released on March 27th, 2026 via Church Road Records.
Speaking about the release, the band says, “we are so proud to announce the release of our debut album, What If Better Never Comes?. This record is a conceptual exploration of sickness – personal and societal – and it’s given us the space to express our experiences of difference in new and expansive ways. We hope its vulnerability, and the message it carries, brings comfort and catharsis to anyone who’s ever lived inside emotions too complex to name.”
Alongside the announcement, the band have released their latest single Waste, which confronts misogyny and the impossible expectations placed on women. Speaking about the new single, the band says, “we had fun with Waste and experimenting with its contrasting tones. The track confronts misogyny and the impossible expectations placed on women. It’s scathing, sharp, and almost gleeful in its indictment of this pervasive societal sickness.”
