Death metal veterans Malevolent Creation have just revealed all about their upcoming new album, The 13th Beast. Check out the cover artwork by German Latorres, and tracklist below. The record was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound. A first song from the album will be released on November 30th, 2018.

"No one can destroy this Malevolent Creation" is a legendary line by the late, great Bret Hoffmann, who passed away on July 7th, 2018. Renowned and revered for his vicious vocal style and unique onstage presence, Hoffmann is impossible to replace, but co-founder Phil Fasciana decided to face the challenge and affirm the truth behind this lyric from the group's 1991 debut The Ten Commandments.

Now, Malevolent Creation have confirmed January 18th, 2019 as the release date for The 13th Beast, which introduces a new line-up consisting of Phil Cancilla (drums), Josh Gibbs (bass), Phil Fasciana (guitars) and vocalist/guitarist Lee Wollenschlaeger (Throne Of Nails, Imperial Empire).

"This is the biggest honour I could ever be given", says Lee Wollenschlaeger."The opportunity to front one of my all-time favourite bands, and an even bigger pleasure of jamming with such great people. We have created one of the most relentless albums of band's history. As a fan, I know we are going to shock a lot of people at how intense this new album is. Done in a way only Malevolent Creation can. I can't wait to see all you guys on the road in 2019 and beyond, playing songs from all the albums, including our new album, The 13th Beast!"

"Lee was the missing link when I was searching for a new vocalist and guitarist", adds Phil Fasciana. "Each new member is a solid musician and songwriter sharing the same passion for extreme music Malevolent Creation has been striving for since 1987. I'm very proud of this album and look forward to present it live as well as songs from our massive back catalog including stuff that hasn't been played live in a long time or ever."
