Malevolence have announced their biggest headline shows to date, in support of their forthcoming Where Only The Truth Is Spoken album.

Having recently announced the imminent arrival of their fourth album, due on June 20 via Nuclear Blast, and shared the Snatch-inspired video for new single If It's All The Same To You, the Sheffield metalcore quintet have now revealed plans for an 11-date headline tour across Europe and the UK in October/November.

The tour will kick off in Toulouse, France at the Bikini Club on October 27, and close at London's Brixton Academy on November 9.

In a statement announcing the tour, frontman Alex Taylor says, "We are very excited to announce the biggest headline tour of career yet…It’s absolutely insane to us that we are booked in these huge, historic & legendary venues and we need all of your support to prove to the world of metal that we are capable to smash them as a headliner. We put together the sickest support bill we could possibly find, featuring some of the coolest current bands from across the world – with the goal of creating the biggest and baddest Malev show of all time. We can’t wait."
