Evile
Biography
Huddersfield, England's Evile are one of many new millennium bands attempting to revitalize the art of thrash metal without straying too far from its original early-'80s template. Formed in 2004, the quartet is comprised of siblings Matt (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Ol Drake (lead guitar), Mike Alexander (bass), and Ben Carter (drums), and recorded a self-produced EP entitled All Hallows Eve that same year. Several demos followed, and after being voted the U.K.'s best unsigned act by readers of Terrorizer magazine, Evile were quickly snapped up by Earache Records, releasing their debut long-player, Enter the Grave, in the fall of 2007. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Just when I thought there would never be any good NEW metal, Evile comes on the scene to prove me wrong, in a good way of course.

You know I thought at first they sounded too much like Slayer as well, but give em a few listens and Im sure you'll see that they have a lot of originality as well. Besides Slayer cant live forever even with the Devil's help

not like slayer at all. Matt's voice maybe is similar in tonal qualities naturally, i.e. by the genetic gift of his metal a** vocal cords, but lyrically they're way more saxon or iron maiden. Nothing is terribly offensive, not much joking about the devil, just great songs about real topics, a la old metallica, saxon, anthrax. Truthfully though... this was only their debut record and they're already up with the best work of the classics, what's next?

So a band can't play thrash with dark imagery w/o being called a 'replica of slayer'? now there is fair judgement. Only one band of each type of music please - we can't handle any more. Wake up guys, this bank f**king rocks, and how far into their career are they? Oh, hardly at all. Soon enough they'll have you lot in their following too.
btw - Derrick, I can't decide if you're sarcastic or just plain nonsensical, I hope it's the former. |

This band is just like Slayer! They play guitars, and resolve to do it a brisk tempo. There is a drummer and bassist too! So unoriginal of them! The singer has lyrics and he sounds angry to boot. Stay away from this Slayer clone and their rip off act of playing music.
