A question - Do you like Old school thrash metal?
If so, check out Evile!
I must declare an interest here, I have known these guys for 5 years, they are old mates of mine from back home in Huddersfield UK. They started out as a Metallica tribute band called "Metal Militia", and were very good as tribute bands go. After a couple of years playing covers, they began to write their own stuff, eventually dropping the cover versions and changing their name to Evile.
After recording their second demo "Hell", they were added to the bill for Bloodstock Open Air (2006). The head of Earache records caught their set, and the following monday offered them a deal.
They recorded their debut album "Enter the Grave" at Sweet Silence Studios Copenhagen, with the legendary Flemming Rasmussen producing. For those that don't know, that's the guy that produced a couple of little albums for a little band called Metallica, namely Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning! The album was released to rave reviews on August 27 this year. So far, they have toured with Exodus, Sanctity, and they have just landed a slot in Ireland with Machine Head!
Do check 'em out! I am so proud that they have finally made it, cos they deserve it!

Latest exciting news about my old mates Evile - at the end of last year they supported Machine Head in Belfast, and their debut album "Enter the Grave" made Classic Rock magazine's top 50 albums of the year (number 32 to be precise!). It looks like their luck continues this year as they have just landed the opening slot on Megadeth's UK tour next month! Oh yes - I will be there, and I can't wait! Go Evile! ;D ;D

Things just get better and better for Evile - they have just won Metal Hammer's "Get in the Ring 2" battle of the bands competition, and were also voted Best new band in MH's readers poll!
Just over a week to go before I see them opening for Megadeth in London - can't wait to see them again - GO EVILE!

I remember seeing Evile support Onslaught, and they really impressed me. I got the album, "Enter The Grave" and have played some of thier tunes on my radio show.
I wish them all the best....
