MALEVOLENT CREATION's
"Lost Commandments" DVD was released in August 2008 in Europe via
Massacre Records. The one-hour, 45-minute disc features two complete shows from the band —
Party.San Open Air festival (August 9-11, 2007 in Bad Berka, Germany) and Paris, France (2004).
MALEVOLENT CREATION's latest album,
"Doomsday X", was released in the U.S. in July 2007 via
Nuclear Blast Records and in Europe in August 2007 via
Massacre Records. The CD was recorded and engineered at
Mercury Recording Studios in Pompano Beach, Florida by longtime friend and producer (and sometimes session member)
Gus Rios, and is said to be the most diverse
MALEVOLENT CREATION album recorded to date and "without a doubt their fastest!!"
Mick Thomson, guitarist for
SLIPKNOT, contributed a "ripping" guitar solo to the song
"Deliver My Enemy".
