Thrash Metal Powerhouse EVILE Release New Single ‘The Thing (1982)’

---

British thrash metallers EVILE have released a new single ‘The Thing (1982)’. Check it out below.

This Friday, April 30, 2021, will see the thrash heavyweights release their brand new studio album, entitled Hell Unleashed, via Napalm Records – the band’s first album in eight years!

Since their formation in 2004, EVILE have been turning heads and taking names, delivering four pure thrash offerings blended with an uncompromising death metal assault. ‘Hell Unleashed’, the long-awaited successor to their 2013 release Skull, will make no exception – but this time, the album features a new exciting line-up formation of Ol Drake on vocals/guitars and new member Adam Smith of RipTide as rhythm guitarist.

EVILE vocalist/guitarist Ol Drake comments “The 3rd and final single from Hell Unleashed is not only based on my favourite movie of all time but it’s a strong contender for my favourite song off the album. This track goes through so many cool changes, with frenetic vocals which mirror the subject matter, and we couldn’t be prouder of not only this song, but the entire album it’s featured on. Blast “The Thing” as loud as you can!”

‘Hell Unleashed’ was produced by Chris Clancy at Backstage Studios, UK, and will not only feature explosive guest backing vocals from actor, comedian and musicians Brian Posehn, but also include a cover song.

Ol Drake adds “This is the first album EVILE have done to include a cover song in the tracklisting. I’ve been a big fan of death metal for a long time, and seeing as this album is on the more extreme side of thrash vocally and musically, we thought it was a perfect opportunity to cover Mortician’s ‘Zombie Apocalypse’. It has one of the greatest riffs in it!”

“We’re also very excited about the return of the legendary Michael Whelan (Sepultura, Obituary, Stephen King) as cover artist. He did the art for our second album and he’s always a pleasure to work with.”
