British thrashers EVILE report:

"It is with great sadness and disappointment that UK thrashers Evile have been forced to cancel their appearance at Lorca Rock festival in Murcia, Spain, this weekend.

Vocalist/guitarist Matt Drake was diagnosed with flu and with a serious throat infection yesterday afternoon. Under the given circumstances, Matt is not able to perform - he can barely talk, let alone sing.

Commented Matt: "I'm so desperately sorry that we have to cancel our show at Lorca Rock. As the entire world knows, there's a big thing about flu going around and I have come down with some of the symptoms. There is no way I would be able to give a vocal performance this weekend anywhere near what you would expect - I'm simply not physically capable of doing so. I would like to take this chance to apologize to everyone for letting you all down especially the promoter of the festival and our Spanish fans as well the rest of the band."

Evile hope to play Spain early in early 2010."

Matt Drake recently took the time to discuss some of the lyrical themes from the band's upcoming new album, Infected Nations.

With a wider variety of topics such as modern society and classic science-fiction, Infected Nations sees Evile taking the blueprints from their debut album, Enter The Grave, and refining them into a more modern and ferocious beast.

Check out the first video featuring Matt Drake discussing the lyrics, below.

A new track called 'Infected Nation' - the first song off Infected Nations - is available for streaming now at Evile's official MySpace page.

You can also download a DRM-free copy of the track to keep and blast as often as you like. The track is available as an MP3 as well as a high quality WAV file at this location.
