Earache Records reports:

"Young Huddersfield shredders EVILE are known for leading the thrash revival in the UK with their uncompromising riffs and relentless speed, but the band is also known for its close connection with its fans. With their new album, Infected Nations, hitting stores everywhere on Monday, September 21st in Europe and the day after in the USA, Evile are planning to show their gratitude to their fans with a rather unique gesture.

On Monday, the day of the album's release, all four members of Evile will make a nearly 200 mile round trip from their home in Huddersfield to the North-East of England to personally hand-deliver a signed copy of Infected Nations to the first person who pre-ordered the new album. So if you live in the North-East and pre-ordered IInfected Nations from the Earache webstore, make sure you stay in and answer the door on Monday, because you could be the lucky fan who gets to hang out with Evile!"

Evile have released a preview for the DVD that comes with the special edition of their new Infected Nations album. Check it out below.

Evile recently released their new video, for the track 'Infected Nation', which can be viewed below

The band recently uploaded a third and final preview track from their forthcoming second album, Infected Nations, out September 21st in the UK and Europe on Earache Records. Go to myspace.com/evileuk to hear the new track

Guitarist Ol Drake comments: "The third and final track for you to preview Infected Nations is 'Nosophoros'... It's strange (but cool) how the first 3 tracks of the album are a great summary of what the album has to offer, while still leaving a lot of variation and different dynamics still yet to be heard. We just got handed final copies of the album for the band, and I couldn't be happier with the layout and overall feel of the album. I for one have always been a fan of going to the store, buying an album, taking it home, reading through the lyrics, taking in everything to do with the album and sit through it from beginning to end taking it all in. I've loved doing that since I was young.

Whenever I hear classic albums like METALLICA's ...And Justice For All, I remember first buying it, taking in all the lyrics, artwork, the feel of it and I picture all of that whilst hearing it.

This is a big reason why I will never condone or be a fan of downloading music. You aren't getting the quality, or the album as the artists have intended it. If people want to preview an album before getting their wallet out, there is MySpace, hence why we're putting these 3 tracks up for you to sample the album.

Nosophoros was one of the earlier tracks written for Infected Nations. It has a lot of crazy guitar work in it, and solos from here to next week. It's one of the more mental thrashers on the album, so get ready to voluntarily injure yourself when you hear this. Turn it up to the Evile volume! (...which is anywhere above quiet)."

Evile have announced an Infected Nations CD release show, scheduled for September 25th at 02 Bar Academy in London, England.

Also on the bill for the show are MUTANT and SPEED THEORY. Tickets can be found at this location.

Earache Records recently reported:

Throughout the history of rock and metal, brothers have been the driving force behind many notorious acts, from bands such as AC/DC and VAN HALEN to SEPULTURA. But being in a professional band with your brother has both its upsides and its downsides. Things are no different for Matt and Ol Drake, brothers and founding members of British thrash outfit Evile.

Check out a video of singer/rhythm guitarist Matt Drake and lead guitarist Ol Drake, discussing what it's like to be brothers in the same band, below.
