This new band with influences of the best thrash from 80s goes down with the best of them. These guys know there thrash, with some heavy and catchy riffs and plenty of solos, and ranging from mid to fast pace, its got everything that good old thrash needs. Fans of classic thrash metal like Slayer, devastation, exodus, Demolition Hammer, onslaught, exhumer Bloodfeast, At war, and even some early annihilator. Simply put if you like Thrash Metal then you will love this.

Evile has come up with their first album and it's a winner! I've been watching the band for a while now and own a couple of their demos but this is their first album and if you're into thrash metal you'll love it. Think back to the early 80's and how bands like Slayer, Testament, and Anthrax used to sound when they were first coming out. These guys have a sound of their own but it's in that style. This is the first new thrash album I've bought in over a decade because it's the best new one by any thrasher in over a decade. Get used to these guys cause' they are the new name in thrash. What Testament was in America in the 80's these guys are in the new millennium in Europe. But don't just take it from me listen to the samples on this page and hear for yourself, if you don't love it then your probably not into old school thrash.

Earache Records laid waste to thrash in the early 90's by unleashing death metal. In a strange twist of fate, they're contributing to the vibrant rebirth of thrash with Evile. Had this been released 16 years earlier, I would swear it's Sodom's follow-up to "Agent Orange" under a new band name. This fits to a T right between "Agent..." and Sodom's next album, "Better Off Dead," in every aspect--from the clean Harris Johns-like production, to the lyrical content, to the vocals, to the rapid-fire jigga-jigga-jigga guitar rhythms.

Thrash purists will love Evile's debut. There is absolutely nothing new school about this. No hardcore breakdowns; no inhuman, synthesized guitar solos; no whiney poppy emo refrains. Just pure, mature thrash à la 1990.

Earache likens Britian's Evile to a handful of 80's thrash bands, but the songs are extremely consistant and well executed in the Sodom vein. You might recognize an early Metallica riff here and there, but then, the same can be said of Sodom on "Better Off Dead."

Want a listen? Check out their MySpace page for a full 4 tracks off the album. Good stuff.
