The album contains more honed and intense screaming from frontman Stace McLaren and the tracks on it and mostly contains lyrics about heroic fantasy and playing heavy metal. An exception to this might be "Tear Me to Pieces", with lyrics penned by McLaren about knife fighting. Malicious Intent is known for containing incredibly loud drum rides and overall poor production. The album itself is an overall turning point for Razor and shows them going from traditional heavy metal and speeding up to a more thrash metal-oriented sound.
The bonus track "Mosh" begins with an unknown person playing Jeepers Creepers (song) on the piano followed by Stace McLaren going on a swearing tirade yelling such things as "Fuck you, posers, thrash will get your head!", and "Mosh, bitch, I'll show you mosh!" followed by a fast-paced measure played by the band.
