Malevolent Creation – ‘The Will To Kill’ CD

With a career spanning over ten years and persevering through massive line-up changes, Malevolent Creation is still as strong as ever and as brutal as its beginning in Buffalo, New York, and ultimately, ‘The Will To Kill’ is one solid blood-soaked slab of death metal.

As soon as you hear that first crushing riff in the title track, you know you are in for a roller coaster ride through hell. Shear brutality, unbridled speed, and blisteringly fast solos. Is there anything else you could ask for in a death metal album?

The album is well-produced and very solid. As you can guess by looking at the album title, the lyrics are in typical death metal fashion: filled with raging violence and, as with most other death metal bands, come across as somewhat generic. Other than that, this is an excellent release by Malevolent Creation, with the new vocalist Kyle being a welcomed addition to the crew.
