Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction is the career defining fourth album from New Jersey tech death metallers Cognitive named one of the '50 Greatest Death Metal Bands Right Now' by Kerrang. Fusing all the best elements of death metal - groove, speed, brutality, technical prowess and forward thinking songwriting; this is an album with one foot planted firmly in the future and the other equally in the old school realm.
