Evile - Thrasher


Evile are a thrash metal band from Huddersfield, United Kingdom. And was the 3:rd act traveling with Amon Amarth and Entombed but have to cancel the rest of the tour as they had a terrible lost of one member, the bass player Mike Alexander, on the 6th of October when he died the previous day while the band were on tour in Luleå, Sweden after being rushed to hospital.
Evile's sound is primarily influenced by classic thrash metal, citing bands such as Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer and Annihilator among others. You can hear that they still master the art of the 80's trash metal style even if the band is from 2004. Evile have released 2 albums, Enter the Grave, 2007 and Infected Nations 2009.

Evile consist of following members :

Matt Drake - Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Ol Drake - Lead guitar
Mike Alexander - Bass guitar
Ben Carter - Drums



Todays tune is to honor Evile and Mike Alexander, "Thrasher" is taken from their debut record "Enter The Grave".



Thrasher" is featured as a downloadable track for the music video game series Rock Band, where it's considered to be one of the hardest songs on guitar and bass.
