Evile is back and faster than ever! The band is now streaming their first new song since 2013 "Hell Unleashed", which is their first with guitarist Oliver "Ol Drake" Drake on vocals, and their first with guitarist Adam Smith as well. The new Evile record is the band's first not to feature vocalist Matt Drake, who left the band in 2020.
“After a long eight years, Evile is finally coming back with our fifth studio album, ‘Hell Unleashed’ in April; a nine-track onslaught of unrelenting Thrash Metal. I have no qualms in saying that this is the best Thrash Metal album in at least the last 20 years," said Drake.
"Those who haven’t been keeping up with Evile may notice a change in vocals and vocalist. Matt left the band last year for health and personal reasons, and we decided it would be best to keep the new vocalist a familiar face within the band, so I stepped into the vocalist shoes, while remaining on lead guitar and I’m very happy and excited to do it – one of my heroes is Chuck Schuldiner, so it made sense to me; Evile needs to sound evil and vile, and we’ve achieved that more this time with a much more aggressive approach on ‘Hell Unleashed.’”
Hell Unleashed is out April 30 and pre-orders are available here.
