Hailing from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, Evile set out to generate a sound that would fill a void within the metal world. Railing against the dominance of morose emo bands and no-fun shoegazers currently populating the Metal scene, the band looked instead to the classics of the Thrash genere for their influence. Comprising of brothers Matt and Oli Drake, and augmented by Ben Carter and Mike Alexander, Evile threw together their old-school thrash influences of Metallica, Anthrax, Testament and Annihilator and mixed in their own energy and enthusiasm to create a fast paced sound dosed with unrelenting speed and aggression. The band described their aim as trying to give thrash a "new" sound while staying in the classic Thrash vein. In the Summer of 2006, as an unsigned band, Evile were handpicked to play two prestigious UK festivals including Bloodstock Open Air and Damnation festival, both to great acclaim. Evile were also voted as Terrorizer magazine's Number 1 unsigned act in 2006 and were soon signed to Earache Records before beginning work on their debut release 'Enter The Grave' in early 2007. Produced by the legendary producer Flemming Rassmussen, the album was recorded in Copehnagen's Sweet Silence studio, where Rasumssen produced Metallica's legendary albums 'Master of Puppets' and 'Ride the Lightning', delivering Evile a sound undoubtedly modern put steeped in Thrash tradition. 'Enter The Grave' is set to be released in August 2007 and delivers a rabid, exhilarating new take on the classic thrash sound, which Metal Hammer magazine has described as 'High speed, high intensity, highly angry and very metal'. They add that 'Evile shred like the soundtrack to a comet's imminent destruction of planet earth'. With that in mind and an upcoming Autumn 2007 UK tour ahead of them, Evile look set to take their new breed of thrash to a whole new level.
