Malevolence Unleashes New Single and Video: “Salt The Wound”
Upcoming Album Details
Malevolence has just released an epic new single and music video titled “Salt The Wound.” This track is part of their highly anticipated album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, set to drop on June 20 through MLVLTD in partnership with Nuclear Blast.
The Concept Behind “Salt The Wound”
Frontman Alex Taylor shared insights into the creation of “Salt The Wound,” stating, “This particular track is the product of us making a conscious decision to bridge the two faces of Malevolence. On one hand, we have the heavy aggressive side, and on the other, we have the slower melodic songs, so we wanted a song that could combine the two.”
Visual Aesthetic and Filming Locations
The accompanying music video was filmed entirely in Sheffield and its surrounding areas. Alex elaborates, “From the industrial depths of Sheffield, a 900-year-old ruined Abbey, to a perfect sunrise over some of the incredible hills of Derbyshire, there is some incredible scenery in the north of the UK which we sometimes take for granted, so this song felt like the perfect opportunity to showcase some of that.”
Memorable Imagery and Symbolism
Alex continued, “From the moment I heard the guitar solo Josh had written for this song, I pictured him on a mountain top doing the solo, so we made it happen, Malev style!” This vivid imagery enhances the overall impact of the track and video, making it a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.
Conclusion
“Salt The Wound” marks a significant moment for Malevolence as they blend their distinct musical styles into a cohesive and powerful single. With its striking visuals and thought-provoking lyrics, the song is set to resonate with audiences and pave the way for the upcoming album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken.
