Cognizance release new song ‘Malignant Domain’

COGNIZANCE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Malignant Domain, is taken from the Leeds-based death metallers’ upcoming debut album Malignant Dominion which is scheduled to be released in September this year.

The new song features a guest vocal and guitar appearance from EXTOL’s Ole Børud and speaking about the new song, guitarist Alex Baillie says, Malignant Domain is one of my favorite tracks from the album. There are a bunch of different flavors in there while keeping the intensity up to almost 11. Having Ole Børud be a part of the track was a big deal for me; hearing those signature layered up vocal harmonies on one of our tracks was pretty surreal. I think all of us in the band brought something cool to the table on this one.” 

Watch the official lyric video for Malignant Domain here: 

The album features eight blistering new tracks and guest appearances from EXTOL’s Ole Børud, members/ex-members of ABORTED and THE FACELESS. The self-recorded album was mixed by Audio Hammer’s Jason Suecof (DEICIDE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEATH ANGEL), who also found time to lay down a solo on the track Ether of the Void. The album artwork is by renowned musician, artist and tattooist, Jef Whitehead (LEVIATHAN, LURKER OF CHALICE).
