With Where Only the Truth Is Spoken dropping this Friday, Alex Taylor of Malevolence sat down with Blunt.US (at a recent Australian show) for a raw, no BS chat about the album, life on tour and everything in between.
How’s Australia treated them? Like kings, with plenty of chaos along the way. Alex shares some of the craziest moments that went down on their recent run, proving once again that no Malevolence tour is ever short on stories.
Collabs on the horizon? Fans of both bands will be stoked to hear Alex tease the possibility of an Alpha Wolf/Malevolence link up. Nothing locked in yet, but the door’s open and that’s enough to get people talking.
We also dig into the making of Where Only the Truth Is Spoken, their heaviest, most focused record yet. Alex breaks down filming ‘If It’s All The Same To You’ with Alan Ford and the gritty, hometown feel of the ‘Salt the Wound’ video shot in Sheffield.
Surprisingly, behind the riffs and rage, Alex and the crew are far from malevolent in real life. Swapping breakdowns for scuba diving and outdoor adventures whenever they can. First thing he does in a new city? Find a way to see the sights before soundcheck.
