Malevolence aren’t here to play nice, they’re here to roar. Fresh off a secret set that tore up Download Festival’s Avalanche stage, Sheffield’s own have dropped ‘So Help Me God’! This one is taken from their newly released album ‘Where Only the Truth Is Spoken’.
If you thought the Steel City kings might tone it down after the chaos over their last single, think again. The band’s previous track ‘Salt the Wound’ was yanked from Nuclear Blast’s YouTube after The National Trust cried foul over the clip being filmed on a public path. Malevolence fired back, saying: “Apparently pretending to play the guitar for a couple of hours on a public path that thousands of tourists walk up every single day is a criminal offence worth pursuing.” Someone, hero or troublemaker? anonymously re uploaded it anyway.
This time around, the lads kept it local and legal. Filming the ‘So Help Me God’ clip at Sheffield’s historic Abbeydale Picture House. The result? A raw, no frills performance video packed with Malevolence’s trademark energy. Vocalist Alex Taylor calls the song “one of the most personal I’ve ever written, a raw exploration of my own resentment and unresolved anger.”

We caught up with Alex for a no BS chat, where he doubled down on their mission: “This record isn’t about sugar coating anything. It’s about speaking the truth, however f**king ugly that might be.”
