Florida death metal veterans Malevolent Creation have returned to their classic five-piece lineup, featuring Deron Miler on vocals/guitar, Jesse Jolly on bass/vocals, Chris Cannella on guitar, Ronnie Parmer on drums and Phil Fasciana on guitar.

The band announced their reunion in a statement last November via social media: "It is official!! Malevolent Creation has returned to a 5 piece with Deron Miler returning on vocals/guitar, Jesse Jolly bass/vocals, Chris Cannella guitars, Ronnie Parmer drums and Phil Fasciana guitars." They feel this lineup will retain the classic MC sound.

The band plans to start working on their 14th studio album in January.

No live shows are scheduled for 2026, but finishing their new album is top priority.

Let's welcome Deron Miller back into the band and look forward to their intense new album 'Return Fire'.

The latest album, 'The 13th Beast', was released in January 2019 via Century Media.

Former Malevolent Creation frontman Bret Hoffmann passed away in July 2018 after a battle with stage four colon cancer.

He was only 51 years old.
