Recidivist have shared a new single titled “Madness Malformed.” The song, which features Alex Herrera (Spinebreaker), serves as the title track of the band's new album, which will be released on November 1. Vocalist Zachary Williams commented:
“‘Madness Malformed’ is really where the lyrical concept of the album reveals its ugly, disfigured face. Up to this point, the songs all refer to having hallucinations and visions about being placed in the middle of some of the most horrific situations I could imagine. In the title track, it’s revealed that a heinous entity is creating every one of these nightmarish scenarios, and it’s plotting to take the life of the being trapped in these situations. I also wanted the essence to speak in a different voice, so as soon as I heard the outro to the song, I knew that’s where Alex (Spinebreaker) had to be.”
