INFECTED NATIONS Artwork and Tracklist Revealed
Evile have revealed the artwork for their upcoming album "Infected Nations"
View the album's artwork here: http://earacherecords.com/myspace/EvileInfectedNations.jpg
Evile - Infected Nations
Infected Nation
Now Demolition
Nosophoros
Genocide
Plague To End All Plagues
Devoid Of Thought
Time No More
Metamorphosis
Hundred Wrathful Deities
EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments on INFECTED NATIONS:
"We can't wait for everyone to hear our new album, when we did Enter
the Grave two years ago it was made up of songs we had been playing for
a few years and some written in the excitement of actually getting to
record an album, we were happy to just be making noise but since then
we've learnt a few things and we're more interested in making music.
Evile fans can expect to hear a more mature offering, an album that
concentrates on all aspects of what each member can do; it's a heck of
a lot more focused, more satisfying and we're really proud of what
we've achieved with it. Russ Russell has helped us to push ourselves
to the next level and pull us out of the '80s. The whole retro thing
has been cool but we feel it's time for us to leave that behind and
stand up for ourselves and show people what we can really do, but fear
not, it IS a thrash metal album, it is a 2009 thrash metal album, and
we're dying to blow your minds with it."
INFECTED NATIONS was produced by RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH), with the
cover art created by MICHAEL WHELAN, famous for his sci-fi artworks
along with classic album covers from such bands as SEPULTURA and
OBITUARY
EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments on getting WHELAN involved:
"When we were thinking about artists we could approach for the album's
art, we went through many ideas and avenues. One day I was listening
to 'Beneath the Remains' by Sepultura, and whilst looking at the
artwork, I thought how much that simple yet detailed art really
compliments the music. I thought "How good would it be to get Michael
Whelan to do an original piece?". I think Matt said something like
"Haha yeah, like that'll happen", so as you do, I contacted his manager
and got in touch with him. It turned out he was really interested in
the concept of the art and jumped right on board. I think an album's
art is just as important as the music on the disc, so I couldn't be
happier with it. Can't wait to see it on vinyl (with a backpatch
maybe?).
"It's such an honour to have a legendary, outstanding artist work with
us on a brand new original piece, when just months previous to it
starting, we thought it impossible. Thank you Michael for giving the
album even more depth and meaning!"

Update from UK Tour
EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE reports from the road:
"Hello all, Matt here with a quick update from halfway through our UK
headlining tour. So far no major accidents, we've made it to all the gigs
and it's going pretty smoooooth. Mutant and Trigger the Bloodshed are
excellent guys to be sharing a tour bus with, good company and it's a
pleasure having them along to blow peoples faces off. The shows have been
way beyond my expectations so far, I honestly never expected the amount of
people that have been showing up so thank you to everyone for coming along
and showing your support for Evile.
"We've been enjoying playing the new tracks live as well, the first of the
two we've been playing, 'Demolition', is feeling more and more comfortable
each time we play it, and it's been going down pretty well. It's not in the
finished form it will be on the album and we haven't exactly perfected
playing it yet but you get the idea of where it's going! Out of the new
songs we've got for the next album we chose to play 'Demolition' because we
figured it would be a good introduction to what to expect from our next
recording, but in saying that each song is pretty unique so people still
really aren't going to be able to guess what the next album will be like by
hearing just that new song.
"Back to the tour and we have the last half to go, we're looking forward to
the Camden Underworld gig, last time we played there with Exodus it was
mental so we're hoping to have that kind of reaction again, with it being
our first proper headline tour it's pretty daunting headlining the
Underworld but it's also bloody cool so we can't wait for it. Again thanks
to everyone for showing up and thanks in advance to those people planning to
show up.
"Also looking forward to getting to Hammerfest in Wales, playing on the same
bill as the mighty Opeth and Sepultura at the mighty venue of PONTINS, and
having our first day off on the Saturday so we can wander around and check
out some bands that we haven't had chance to see yet, luckily we don't clash
with Opeth so people can come watch us and then leg it as fast as humanly
possible with us among the mob to bask in the glory that is Opeth."

Manchester on April 17th can be found at

Pre-Production with Russ Russell - Pics
From Matt:
"We've just finished up two long days of pre-production on our upcoming album with Russ Russell
in a dark basement in our hometown where we've done a lot of writing,
re-writing, tweaking, re-tweaking, arguing and un-tweaking and we've
come away extremely happy with this bunch of new songs we've been
kicking around since last year.
"It always bugs me when bands
talk up their upcoming album by saying the same things everyone else
does like it's heavier and more broooootal and so on, so all I want to
say is we're excited about what we're working on and it feels like a
natural progression from our first effort, you'll all be able to make
up your own minds on all that though when it's released later this
year. Until then we'll keep everyone updated on developments from the
studio in May, show you the artwork and all that jif, do a little dance
for you, and we're planning to road test some of the new material on
our U.K. tour which starts April 15 in Birmingham, so if you're heading
down to any of the shows we'll see you there!"

Evile to work with RUSS RUSSELL, Debut New Material Live
EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake checks in with some details on the band's
highly anticipated second offering: "We're very glad to announce we'll
be working with the brilliant Russ Russell on the next release at
Parlour Studios, U.K. Russ has produced excellent work with bands such
as NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR, THE EXPLOITED and many more. We've known
Russ for a few years now. We first met him in London at one of our
shows where he expressed how much he'd like to work with us sometime,
and that time has come. I believe Russ can bring us a very interesting
sound and approach to the new material which we're writing. Expect a
very crushing and interesting album! The cover art will also be very
crushing and interesting! Definitely one for vinyl!"
He
continues, "We've been working non-stop on the new EVILE material since
before the MEGADETH tour last February. We're even into the demo
process of the new album. Just last weekend we recorded the first three
demo tracks we completed first. Looking back on what we've been
writing, it's surprising how diverse and different the material has got
since starting on the first 'album 2' song. Don't worry, it's thrash,
we're just trying to use our brains more than our 'ripped jeans.'"
EVILE are set to embark on their first full headlining U.K. tour in April with support from WARPATH and MUTANT (check the gigs section for dates/tickets)
With regards to the tour, Ol Drake states: "Even though this is
probably expected of us, I thought it only right for us to confirm
we'll be playing new material on our upcoming April U.K./Ireland tour,
as we've been playing the same old songs for the past 8 million years!
See you all on the road soon!"
EVILE's debut album, "Enter The
Grave", was recently reissued as a special redux edition, including a
guitar pick, "Enter The Grave" patch and an exclusive two-hour bonus
DVD.

Evile Pull out of SATYRICON Tour - Ol Injured
"Ol collapsed last night and fractured his jaw and split his chin on the ground. Luckily his beard
absorbed some of the blow. He's been in hospital and had X-rays and
been stitched up, but he's unable to play; he can't really move — he's
a mess. Ol doesn't drink, it seems to be some medical problem
that's being investigated. They did an ECG and we're awaiting results.
Unfortunately, we're having to pull out of the tour to get home to the
UK where Ol can recuperate and have some follow-up tests."
The
singer added, "We apologize to all our fans and to anyone planning to
see us at the shows. As you can imagine, we're devastated we can't
play, but Ol's health comes first and that's currently our
priority. We will update our fans through the MySpace with news when
we're back home. We won't be on any of the SATYRICON tour from today."
Ol then recently posted a personal statement about the event:
Thank you for all the get-well messages (even the guy who said we suck, you rule).
"[I] want to start by saying a HUGE sorry to all the people wanting to see us play on the SATYRICON
tour, I couldn't be more pissed off. I'm the first person to oppose
cancelling any gig or tour, unless it's completely necessary. My first
worry wasn't even for my health, it was for the tour... And that my beard would be OK.
"I
literally can't stand up for longer than five minutes or I just feel
like going back down (took four goes to get the X-ray done). I did a
highly medical thing called 'lose blood.' I wish I could have carried
on the tour. No energy at all.
"Will get myself checked but I think I pretty much know why it happened:
"During the Canada tour, I developed a really bad cold/infection (which Ben [Carter,
drums] caught, putting him in hospital on our return). It got worse
when we got home. It developed into a URTI (Upper Respiratory Tracht
Infection) so I was put on medication for that. My system was pretty
low but I carried on anyway.
"With the long drives on this tour,
and the vast boredom between shows, I basically slept all the time.
When it came to eating, we didn't have much food but I ate what I could
that we were given by venues. On top of that, we didn't have too much
money to buy food (most of it going to lots of petrol), so I was
basically not eating enough. I've done enough gigs and tours and not
eaten a lot, and physically got by, as the shows themselves are usually
good excersise. But I think this time it just caught up with me at a
bad time and said, 'You hit the floor now.' I've broken one side of the
top of my jaw, detaching a bone which holds the muscle in place.
Therefore the muscle is pulling my jaw up on one side. I sound like
Stephen Hawking when I talk. Also a bone deep gash on my chin.
"I will have to just get myself into good health, as this was basically my own fault.
"So again, huge apologies to our fans, SATYRICON + crew (thankyou for being cool with us!) and ZONARIA."

The 18th of March saw the release of the Earache Thrash Pack as downloadable content on the Xbox 360/PS3 game ROCKBAND. Included in this pack is Evile’s "Thrasher".
Evile’s lead guitarist Ol Drake had the following to say:
"We’d like to extend a huge thanks to Rockband developer HARMONIX for including such a different genre of music for a ’smaller’ percentage of the gaming audience who have been asking for Thrash for a while! Evile are honored to be a part of the game and they hope it gives gamers a taste of what it’s like to play Thrash Metal on real instruments and hope it injects a new kind of challenge to the game!"
The Evile track is already being received as the hardest song to play on the game. Below are some YouTube videos posted by ROCKBAND Gamers to demonstrate the contents and difficulty of the track on different instruments.

EVILE Thrash it up at VIRGIN MEGASTORES
To commemorate the release of their debut album 'Enter The Grave' in the UK/Europe on Monday August 27, Yorkshire thrashers EVILE played a frenetic in-store gig in Manchester's Virgin Megastore to hoardes of chanting, thrash-hungry fans. Speaking about the chaos that they caused in the store, Evile guitarist Ol Drake has stated:
"It was killer playing to all those Thrashers in a store setting. People didn't seem to care that they were in a record store. It was just a plain old Metal show. Circle Pits, Moshing, head-banging galore. We Thrashed the shit out of the Verging Megawhores. We want to say a huge cheers to all the people who came down to Thrash with us, and a huge cheers to all at Virgin Megastores Manchester (Arndale) and Lucy Holliday".
