British thrashers EVILE will release their new album, Skull, on May 27th in Europe via Earache Records and on June 11th in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records! This highly anticipated follow-up to 2011′s Five Serpent’s Teeth was once again recorded with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England. The artwork for the album was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED).
Kreator are known within the thrash metal community as something of legends, with their fast electric musical panache and flair for ferocious lyrics. They have become a corner stone of influence across the European scene as well as further afield. Tonight the German masters are accompanied by speedballs SSS, re-formed veterans, Xentrix and the up and rising metal troupe Evile. Read the rest of this entry »

Britain’s EVILE will be celebrating this year’s Record Store Day by releasing a split 7″ picture disc vinyl with Swedish death metal legends ENTOMBED.
The limited edition release will feature ENTOMBED’s classic 1990 track, “Drowned”, along with EVILE’s incredible 2012 cover version, available on vinyl for the first time. The 7″ will be available in independent record stores on Saturday, April 20th in strictly limited quantities.

EVILE drummer BEN CARTER comments:
“Evile are looking forward to making some stupidly heavy noise at Crash Records in Leeds on Saturday, 20th April in support of Record Store Day! We’re going to start destroying ears at 4pm, so make sure to get in early as space will be VERY limited! We guarantee this show will be utter carnage and something very different than the norm. We can’t wait to see how a circle pit will work in a record store and need our fans there to show us!!! To mark the occasion, we’ll be selling our new exclusive 7″ split of our cover of Entombed’s ‘Drowned’, with Entombed’s original on the flipside. All this is to show support to indie retailers, so get yer asses down to Crash and show your support for the old school!!!” Read the rest of this entry »
The day couldn’t have been any more miserable, freezing cold and raining, not to mention that it’s a Sunday night and transport was non-existent! But that was not going to dampen my mood, as I was on my way to a gig I had been waiting for, for a long time! I finally get to see Evile live!
Recently at Bloodstock 2012 I had the pleasure of seeing Evile live on stage for the 2nd time and before Evile were due to take to the main stage I had the even greater pleasure and honour of speaking to both Ben (drums) and Ol Drake (lead guitar) from the band. Here’s what we got chatting about…
EVILE have released a brand new music video for their track “In Dreams of Terror”, ahead of the band’s performance at this weekend’s Bloodstock Open Air festival in Derbyshire, UK.
“In Dreams of Terror” was directed by ASH PEARS of ASHTV, and is the third video to be released from FIVE SERPENT’S TEETH, following “Cult” and “In Memoriam”.
Watch the “In Dreams of Terror” video here:
EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments:
“Surprise! Here’s a new Evile music video! Instead of building up any kind of hype and making people wait, we thought we would just throw the latest one at you out of the blue as a treat. We had loads of fun doing this with Ash Pears of ASHTV and we really think we’ve got a video that suits the song greatly. Here is ‘In Dreams of Terror’. And if you’re coming to Bloodstock this weekend, you just may hear this one!”
EVILE are performing at Bloodstock this Sunday, August 12th at 3:15pm on the Ronnie James Dio main stage. The band will also be taking part in a signing session at 6pm on Sunday. For tickets and more info, go to http://www.bloodstock.uk.com

EVILE drummer BEN CARTER comments:
“We are really excited for our fans, both new and old, to see our video for In Memoriam. It’s a different sound and approach for us definitely, but we hope our fans appreciate the sentiment and reason this song exists. There’s a lot of context in the song that everyone will at one time or another relate to, and we hope we have captured that essence in the video. We didn’t want to rush this video and get it wrong at all; we didn’t want there to be any falseness, so what we have created is something which we are all very proud of, which perfectly captures everything we felt after losing Mike, and moving forward with Joel. We hope this becomes a mainstay of our live set in the future, and we also hope that everyone who watches takes something positive from the video. Live life, and enjoy!”

EVILE have confirmed that Swedish heavy metallers WOLF will be joining the band as special guests for their recently-confirmed UK tour, which kicks off on October 18th in Glasgow.
EVILE will also be returning to Ireland and Northern Ireland on the trek, following two shows there with MACHINE HEAD earlier this week. Two shows have been added to the tour – Belfast on October 20th, and Dublin on October 21st.
EVILE guitarist OL DRAKE comments:
“We’re very pleased to announce the first band on our tour of the UK & IRE in October 2012 is the awesome WOLF. Evile and Wolf’s paths have crossed many times and it’s going to be great to follow the same path for these shows. They’re such a great band and they’re going to add so much energy and enjoyment to the gigs. They were kind enough to donate Wolf gear to the Mike Alexander raffle which we ran back in 2009 too. I can’t wait to get back out on the road for our UK & IRE fans and bring along the heavy metal thunder in the name of WOLF!
“We’ve just added a date in Belfast and a date in Dublin, so check the flyer and get your tickets early! I don’t want to hear about more kids in Evile shirts being turned away at the door from having no tickets! *Metal sad face*”
