"MALEVOLENT CREATION have been so criminally underrated that it really does seems criminal."(Metal Archives)
Landing a deal with Roadrunner Records and helping to develop the "Florida Death Metal" sound. In 1991 their debut album, "The Ten Commandments" became something of a landmark in the death metal underground, expanding on the early work of bands like SLAYER, KREATOR, POSSESSED, OBITUARY and DEATH.
"The Ten Commandments is an excellent example of high quality death metal." - Sputnikmusic.com
Also produced by Scott Burns, released in April 1992 and built on a relentless riffage madness, following and second album "Retribution" is often hailed as one of the best and most definitive death metal albums of all time.
Keeping up with the insane velocity of their previous material, "Stilborn" was released in October 1993, often criticized for its sterile production, it could be now regarded as a collection gathering some of the wildest and catchiest compositions the band has ever written. An Essential Florida death metal gem once again !.
