"The unknown" CD od Evile

Appearing in limited Digipak.

'Since their formation in 2004, the British band EVILE has lived up to their name, delivering a heavy package of thrash infused with an uncompromising death metal touch. After the release of their critically acclaimed album, Hell Unleashed (2021), the quartet strikes again this summer, on July 14, 2023, with their sixth full-length album, The Unknown, via Napalm Records!

But this time, EVILE proves that they are more than just a thrash band. Slower tempos with a heavier approach meet melodic vocals and profound, deep themes - from depression, overcoming loss and recurring nightmares, to self-worth and more personal subjects such as living with dementia, the struggle in the music industry, and the worries of becoming parents. On The Unknown, EVILE - led by singer and guitarist Ol Drake - present themselves in a deeper and more personal way, while simultaneously being harder, stronger, and rougher than ever before! Songs like the epic title track 'The Unknown' showcase the album's moving elements, balancing on a dark, melodic, almost hypnotic vibe with colossal, heavy riffs and thundering drums. Meanwhile, 'When Mortal Coils Shed' highlights EVILE's captivating 'new' side, while explosive tracks like 'Reap What You Sow' and 'Monolith' create nothing but a pounding sonic realm building into a stomping thrash metal manifesto.

The Unknown unleashes the unleashed songwriting talent of the British thrash metal leaders and proves that thrash doesn't always have to be fast-paced. Outstanding musical prowess, without fear of showing a hitherto 'unknown' face of lyrical depth, makes The Unknown an engaging, versatile, bold, and modern thrash metal album!'
