I first heard Malevolent Creation when I bought the cassette The Ten Commandments. I saw the cover and had to buy it. Never heard of them before. I think I bought it from Hogwild Records in San Antonio, Texas. Then there was a full color page add for Retribution that I tore out and hung on my locker in high school. Been a huge fan ever since, particularly the Bret albums.

I literally owe my discovery of Malevolent Creation to Deron. I think he alluded to it on the old Ask CKY threads on the old official website. Yeah, fucking changed my life. Old school In Flames and shit too, stuff like that. He never recommended anything remotely boring. This was like back in 2001 or 2002 or some shit.

Great show. First time checking out your channel. Looking forward to watching more videos.

Deron and Phil should do a Malevolent Creation Biography book. A ton of history of the most underrated band in metal

Stillborn was recorded at Mark Pinske's studio in Gainesville

Deron Miller is an encyclopedia for metal Awesome retrospective

Envenomed is a fucing masterpeice, None stop assault on the ears. Everything about that album is perfect! Great riffs, Great lyrics, Great hooks and just overall the best malevolent creation album. I'm still looking for that 2002 tour long sleeve shirt, Iv begged Deron for it but he won't sell it haha great podcast my friend thank you!

Oh man it was hard to listen to you guys bash In Cold Blood like that. I absolutely love that album, I love the sound, the vibe, the riffs. Great interview though. Jeez Deron knows everything about that band, incredible source of information about quite an obscure band.

FUCKN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!! Seen em live since late 80s and partied with . Brett my fav. vocal . R.i.p. brother !!

This is the best one yet. Not enough malevolent creation rankings and retrospectives.

Great interview you really know your stuff, Deron knows so much about malevolent creation it's amazing I learned so about Malevolent creation and Deron was my introduction to Malevolent creation from seeing him ware thier shirts. Definitely try and get him on again I enjoy this most podcasts or interviews are so bad and the interviewer doesn't do their homework and isn't prepared especially when talking to a malevolent creation expert like Deron haha

Fantastic interview! I've known Deron a long time and been a fan even longer; great info on here that I wasn't aware of!

Thanks for the kind words to both of you guys!

"Retribution" being the RIB of DM is quite a claim. Being a huge MC fan ever since I´d rather give that title to the first Deicide or Vader´s De profundis perhaps. RIB is all out frantic and crazed from start to finish whereas Retribution shows quite some elaborated and thought-out riffing, more groovy parts and an overall different atmosphere and mood. I´d even go as far to say that given all the brutality and destructiveness of this record there´s also a sense of elegance to it which in turn RIB lacks completely, imho.

Who is the guy in the control room whose voice you can hear say the words, "Challenger, You Can Throttle Up." ?? Immediately followed by the pilot/astronaut respond, "Throttling Up!" ( As directed to do so) Which simultaneously ignited the entire craft to well...memory. That guy must feel like the sickest man in America. Shame.

I actually prefer The Will to Kill over Envenomed
