Malice by Through the Eyes of the Dead

Malice is Through the Eyes of the Dead's second full-length follow-up to 2005's Bloodlust. The album again features artwork from Paul Romano (Mastodon, The Red Chord). The band enlisted Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, ex-Morbid Angel) for production, engineering and mixing with Alan Douches (Unearth, Shadows Fall) of West West Side Music mastering the effort. The band travelled to Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida, on February 16, and finished recording March 15. The album was released August 21, 2007. Malice was the band's second studio release (second with Prosthetic Records) and their only album to feature Nate Johnson (formerly of Premonitions of War and Deadwater Drowning) on vocals, as he left the band alongside drummer Josh Kulick in late 2007. The album landed at number nine on Billboard's Heatseeker Chart with first week sales of 3,400.This album displays a shift in style, from deathcore to a more straightforward melodic death metal sound.
