EVILE - Enter the Grave OUT NOW

About Me

Evile are an original thrash metal outfit from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in the UK.
Founded by old school friends Matt Drake and Ben Carter, and after playing with different guitarists and bass players for a year or so, Matt's brother Ol was asked to join as lead guitarist. After a short search for a bass player The 3 were contacted by Mike Alexander via an ad in a local guitar shop, and the band was formed. With every member contributing to every aspect of the band they have a uniqueness and strength thats gives them a cutting edge, influenced by bands such as Sepultura, Exodus, Metallica, Annihilator and Slayer to name but a few, Evile have created something that the metal world is crying out for. Despite being un-signed at the time, Evile were hand-picked to headline the second stage of Bloodstock Open Air 06, and also to open the main stage of Manchester's own Damnation Festival.
In October of 2006 Evile signed to the legendary Earache Records, label home of such Metal legends as Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Municipal Waste and Carcass.
In Feb/Mar of 2008 Evile took part in MEGADETH's European Tour of Duty as main support, and were warmly greeted by Megadeth's crowd night after night. The band also supported legendary Thrashers EXODUS on their 2008 European Tour in April. 2008 also saw Evile's "Thrasher" included on Xbox360/PS3 Videogame ROCKBAND.
With the debut album "Enter the Grave" OUT NOW the band look sure to make an impact on the world of Thrash Metal.
