Malice is the band's only album to feature Nate Johnson (formerly of Premonitions of War and Deadwater Drowning) on vocals, as he left the band alongside drummer Josh Kulick in late 2007.

The album landed at number nine on Billboard's Heatseeker Chart, with first week sales of 3,400.[5]

Critical reception

edit

Exclaim! wrote that Malice "is as outrageously chaotic as it is heavy, and has the ability to fully satiate any death metal lover's appetite for something raw."[6]
