Evile - Skull

Damn if this didn't make for a good ol thrashy Tuesday morning.  "SKULL" is the new album titled selected by Evile for their 4th album, due on May 27th in Europe on Earache Records and in North America via Century Media/Earache Records.  After being a very large fan of their previous album "Five Serpent's Teeth", I was very excited to hear of a follow up.  Another band on the radar I have yet to catch live, but from what YouTube and other social media outlets have shown, they would not be a show to miss.

The band has already pushed out 3 studio albums since their inception in 2004 and seem to be moving with great momentum to their fourth album.  Consistently improving their originality and sound, the four piece from  West Yorkshire, UK have quite the reputation to precede, being that 5ST had a very high rating across the board from various music review sites.

"We'd like to extend our thanks to Eliran Kantor for his amazing artistic representation of our original concept, which we'll reveal further details of in the coming weeks.  Our fans can expect this album to be a return to our thrashier roots, as well as exploring new ground in typical EVILE form." - Ben Carter

Skull was recorded with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England. The artwork for the album was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED).  This is the same producer and studio as their previous release "Five Serpent's Teeth".

"We've always said we want to progress and move forward in everything we do, and this album is no exception.  We're so amazed with everything Russ Russell and ourselves have produced, and can't wait for it to be released upon the masses!" -Carter

"We are proud to release the first full track from our upcoming album, 'Skull', for you to wrap your ears around. Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what's in store for you all come May 27th.

'Underworld' is a title I've wanted to use for a very long time but hadn't found the right song for it; it's named after the venue in London of the same name as it's been one of my favorite places to play for years now. The song itself isn't directly about the venue, but it's definitely dedicated to it. The song is inspired by a short sci-fi story I read about the earth's surface becoming uninhabitable and people being forced to live deep underground. It ties in to one of the overall themes of the album which is about things being hidden, be it thoughts, feelings, motivations or truths. At the same time it's about something else but I don't want to give everything away all at once; it's better if you make up your own mind!" -Matt Drake
