The band spent the end of 2012 tracking their latest offering, MALEVOLENCE, with acclaimed Australian Producer Sonny Truelove at STL Studios on the Central Coast of NSW. The band have proven themselves to be an incredibly competent live act and impressive purveyors of noise, with "MALEVOLENCE" showing itself to be no exception. Packed with energetic, hard-hitting drums, punishing guitar riffs and ferociously confronting vocals, "MALEVOLENCE" is a must for fans of Molotov Solution, Suicide Silence, Through The Eyes Of The Dead and Whitechapel.

Emerald Vale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’ve been handed what you all believe - hatred for media needs
We are a beacon of a cruel deception; a nation of manipulation
We are a beacon of a cruel deception; a nation of manipulation
We’ll take their lives as they crawl to survive, making sure to never hand them their freedom
Why don’t you see it?
A society cast for genocide
This declaration is weakened by hypocrisy
An act of false statements for the image of liberty
Ask the families who live in suffering
Where is their share of liberty
I refuse to be one of you
Another chess piece to be moved
I refuse to be one of you
I refuse to believe what is given to me
It’s only in facts that we should be able to see
This corruption that we all live and breathe
Impelling lies which brand everything you believe
But we have contributed to this vile creation
You have all been manipulated
I’d love to see you cast in isolation
Backs turned by a neighboring nation
It’s only then that I think you’ll believe
There is no liberty
The song "Asylum" by Emerald Vale speaks about the harsh and unfair reality that the society we live in is filled with unequal opportunities and a hierarchy that only benefits the powerful. The lyrics state, "I’ll show you inequality, but you’ll be dead before you can see" which implies the notion that those in power have made it difficult for the common people to see beyond the manipulation that blinds them.\
The song also highlights the idea that the media has a strong influence on people's opinions and beliefs. The lyrics, "You’ve been handed what you all believe - hatred for media needs" suggest that what the media portrays is not always the reality. The song then goes on to depict that people are struggling to survive and are forced to crawl for their lives, while their freedom is snatched away.
Moreover, the song "Asylum" touches on the hypocrisy of society's declarations of liberty and equality. The lyrics, "This declaration is weakened by hypocrisy, an act of false statements for the image of liberty" imply that the government's image of liberty and democracy is nothing but a facade. The song asks people to open their eyes and see the truth beyond the veils of corruption.
In conclusion, "Asylum" is a hard-hitting song that portrays the bitter reality of our society. It highlights the manipulation that people face and urges them to see beyond the lies that are fed to them.
