If you were to listen to all three albums in order of release, you will notice a theme progression in the lyrical content of the bulk of the tracks. The first album showcased the decline into promiscuity and sin as the result of a broken heart. The second album focusing on the pleasure sin gives us, but also showcasing songs about liars and evil, which gives us a taste of what kind of world sin brings us into but at this stage of the musical journey the two themes seem disconnected.

With the Malevolence album we finally see what sin turns us into. Selfish and Malevolent. The opening track Point Of No Return slams into the ears with a full on 80's thrash pace, describing the time in a man's life where there appears to be no turning back. Black As The Night describes a vampire like person who is no longer human with four chugging guitar riffs that seamlessly interchange. The Devil You Know, a grinding song about being in a rut that you know is destructive but is too familiar to leave. Malevolence, the heaviest track of her entire career, using double kick drums to ram the aggression home. Finish "side 1" with a powerful ballad about loss, Can't Carry On. "Side 2" begins with Under the Siege an exploration into the effects of war on the soul set to military drums and a pumping bass line. The Warrior brings in guest singer Stephen Wells to put a medieval Conan fantasy to music. Cuts To The Core is the most pop rock song of the album, catchy but still set to a heavy metal guitars. No More Lies berates a lying partner in the most rocking way possible. The album concludes with Anything For You a song about domestic violence from the perspective of a woman with Stockholm syndrome. Hang around at the very end for an emotional refrain of the song that will send chills down your spine.
