Evile - Hell Unleashed (2021)

British thrashers EVILE have had one hell of a ride during the course of their career. Departing members, ailments and other such obstacles have all at one stage made us wonder whether they would survive the odds. It has been the best part of a decade since the release of Skull in 2013, but the thrash metal collective can soon breathe a sigh of relief as their long anticipated return is just around the corner. Hell Unleashed is due for release on April 30th via Napalm Records and you are not going to know what has hit you.

EVILE have discarded all kinds of preconceived notions and expectations and left them at the door with this album, returning to what brought them to the dance in the first place. No frills, high impact thrash metal, and whilst some may have enjoyed their more progressive efforts in the latter stages of their catalogue there is no denying that Hell Unleashed is a huge statement of intent from a band that has been through hell themselves to get to this stage. EVILE are back and they have zero intention of letting up.
