While in the advanced stages of pre-production of their third album, Malevolence reveals that Dirk Verbeuren will be the drummer working with the band. The collaboration started back in May 2011 and Verbeuren is writing material for the album along with Carlos Cariano (vocals & guitars).

Verbeuren possesses a vast experience performing and recording — even if most of the songs were previously composed when he entered the team. He easily caught up the tempo and delivered with total dedication adding a new dimension to all the material.

Verbeuren is the official Soilwork drummer and worked recently on the latest works for such established acts as DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, WARREL DANE and in the forthcoming JEFF LOOMIS solo album.

In Verbeuren’s own words: “I’m very excited to join the Malevolence squad for their third album. The new material sounds promisingly raw and pure, so I’m impatient to add some crushing drums to the mix. With the mighty V. SANTURA behind the knobs, I’m confident the result will kill!”
