Retribution is the second studio album by American death metal band Malevolent Creation. It was produced and engineered by Scott Burns. The opening song, "Eve of the Apocalypse", contains the theme music from the 1986 controversial psychological horror/crime film, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Joe DiVita of Loudwire said "The driving repetition and pace at which the riffs fly is like a streetcleaner of death moving along at a steady crawl, fueled by the Florida natives’ sense of pendular rhythms."^[1]
