Time flies fast and deals cruel hand. For death metal legends Malevolent Creation, however, Father Time is weak and feeble, his scythe a cane and his hourglass long broken. To wit: it's been 24 years since The Ten Commandments shocked media outlets and found wide-spread acceptance in death metal's ardent fanbase. Since then, the Floridians never gave in. Not to waning interest in the genre, not to black metal's near-takeover of extreme metal, not to n-metal's commercial viability. On the first as well as the 100th listen, it sounds like a band revitalized, re-energized, and ready to ravage. Dead Man's Pathwas produced by Malevolent Creation and Dan Swan (Aeon, Bloodbath, Asphyx) with mixing duties also being handled by Swan. The team ensured songs like "Soul Razer", "Resistance Is Victory" or "Fragmental Sanity" are as punishing digitally as they are pumped through a stereo, something Malevolent Creation needed to stay vital in an ever-changing sonic landscape.
