Malevolent Creation announce new album ‘The 13th Beast’

MALEVOLENT CREATION have announced a new album!

The new album, titled The 13th Beast, is the upcoming album from the iconic death metallers and is scheduled to be released in January next year.

The upcoming record features artwork by German Latorres, and was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound and introduces a new line-up consisting of Phil Cincilla (drums), Josh Gibbs (bass), Phil Fasciana (guitars) and vocalist/guitarist Lee Wollenschlaeger (THRONE OF NAILS, IMPERIAL EMPIRE).

Speaking about joining the band and the upcoming record, Lee Wollenschlaeger says, “This is the biggest honour I could ever be given. The opportunity to front one of my all-time favourite bands, and an even bigger pleasure of jamming with such great people. We have created one of the most relentless albums of MALEVOLENT CREATION’s history. As a fan, I know we are going to shock a lot of people at how intense this new album is. Done in a way only MALEVOLENT CREATION can. I can’t wait to see all you guys on the road in 2019 and beyond, playing songs from all the albums, including our new album, The 13th Beast.” Guitarist Phil Fasciana adds, Lee was the missing link when I was searching for a new vocalist and guitarist. Each new member is a solid musician and songwriter sharing the same passion for extreme music MALEVOLENT CREATION has been striving for since 1987. I’m very proud of this album and look forward to present it live as well as songs from our massive back catalog including stuff that hasn’t been played live in a long time or ever.”
