I Declare War in June

05/11/2010
. I Declare War's self-produced album, Malevolence, will be released on June 1st as part of the Artery Recordings / Razor & Tie joint venture.

The Seattle-based death metal / metalcore band agrees that the new album is their heaviest and most focused record to date. Fans can look forward to a heavy and aggressive album that speaks to a variety of subject matters the band finds corrupt in today's world.

Malevolence was recorded at Red Room Recordings in the band's hometown of Seattle with engineer Chris Common, who also edited and mixed the album. When discussing the album, guitarist Evan Hughes states, "The lyrics are based on a lot of what we think is corrupt in the world today - government, religion, and the self-inflicted downfall of humanity. The title reflects the overall feeling of the lyrics and a basic view of how we see the world today."
