MAllavora – What If Better Never Comes? – Album Review
It’s debut album time for Mallavora!
The band have been making a loud noise for a few years now and that noise has made people take notice. This is a band with a vision and an engrained belief system. This is a band that strives to do things their way; so why would their debut record be any different?
The Bristolian four-piece have developed an alt-metal sound which is deeply engaging and a lyrical identity that is emotively captivating. With an album giving them more space to explore themselves, it’s no surprise that over the course of the thirteen tracks and near fifty minutes they are able to truly bring their vision to life.

This is a record that is packed full of vulnerability and defiance in equal measure. Personal experiences and the overarching need to navigate the modern world loom large and are delivered in an immediate and relatable manner.
Considering the shortness of attention spans these days and the noted length of the record, perhaps an argument could be made to trim the record down slightly, but that’s not the Mallavora way.
This is grandiose by design and that’s demonstrated best by the nine-minute closing epic that is the title-track of the album, ‘What If Better Never Comes?’. The band wants you to live this record with them, to feel it with them and as far as first attempts go you have to say that this is a great opening salvo.
Make note of the name, because for Mallavora this is only the beginning!
