Here are some facts about EVILE. It was originally known as METAL MILITIA. They performed covers of METALLICA. They appeared for first time at the Ukranian Club, Halifax, England. Their bass player Mike Alexander died in Sweden on 5th October 2009, during their European tour to support their new album, from a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot on the lugs. After that tunnel filled with grief, they kept on coming without taking a break from growing.
So there you go, EVILE released "Five Serpent's Teeth". This is the third album of the British thrashers. Every fan of Thrash Metal will be very satisfied to listen to this bloody and gruesome Thrash piece. Wrath and hate are the main connotations following "Five Serpent's Teeth". The band's influences have been coming from the old era of Thrash. For newer listeners of EVILE, they will especially remind you of METALLICA, OVERKILL, KREATOR and other great stuff.
The excellent riffs remind me the old days of the Bay Area movement while the voice in the front gave me the feeling that I was listening to James Hetfield. This is not necessary bad. Spinning the album track by track I noticed that EVILE were in a way a bit robotic in their playing. If they were to obtain a bit more of an emotive sense, they will surely show exceptional results due to the truth that they have great skills for this kind of style. As highlights I chose "In Dreams Of Terror", "Cult", "Eternal Empire", "Origin Of Oblivion", "In Memoriam" and "Long Live New Flesh". It is a very good album.
