Evile
Retro thrash is indeed alive and well in
the new millennium, and here
we have England's entry in the field, Evile, who
actually debuted with an EP in 2004 before signing
to
Earache
for their 2007 full-length album,
Enter The Grave.
Evile went straight to the source for inspiration,
as their sound borrows from the masters such as
Exodus
and
Metallica
in their heyday, but most of all
Slayer,
especially given Matt Drake's Araya-inspired vocals
(he's since departed, but brother Ol has taken over on vocals,
the band scarcely missing a beat in the process).
Now up to five albums with the release of
Hell Unleashed in 2021,
Evile has established themselves as one of the leading British
thrash bands of the 2000's.
