Following the release of their sophomore album, Powerkiller, Canadian heavy metal heroes EVIL SURVIVES strike back with another entry in the HEAVY ARTILLERY RECORDS discography with a reissue of their debut, Metal Vengeance. Available for the first time ever on CD and digital formats, Metal Vengeance was originally released by renowned Canadian vinyl-only metal label War On Music. Metal Vengeance will be re-released world wide on March 22nd.

Based out Winnipeg, Manitoba Evil Survives first began spreading their metallic mayhem when the in the summer of 2006 Front man Karl “Axe n’ Smash” Warkentin and guitarist Adrian Riff began the arduous task of recruiting like minded metal heads. Finally after three months the search was complete and Evil Survives was born. By June 2008 Evil Survivesmade its first performance- by no coincidence... but fate! - outside of an IRON MAIDEN concert in their home town of Winnipeg. Less than a month later, Evil Survives entered the studio to record their debut full length album Metal Vengeance, released exclusively on vinyl on War on Music.

On the heels of a growing renown, Evil Survives were right back in studio by the end of 2009 to record their second full length album, entitled Powerkiller, released by War on Music on vinyl and limited edition cassette. Mixed entirely in analog, the master reels contained over 40 minutes of driving NWOBHM worship, sounding like 1985-2009 never even happened. Powerkiller caught the attention of New York metal merchants HEAVY ARTILLERY RECORDS who will be released the album on CD and digitally on October 12th 2010.

Touring non-stop across Canada and beyond, Evil Survives quickly gained a reputation as a ripping live act, with piercing croons, guitar heroics, shotgun bass, and wild antics. Taking the torch from those who came before them, Evil Survives are positioned to become a leading force for the fight for the rightful return of heavy metal… and the execution of false metal everywhere.

Evil Survives will be appearing at this year’s Keep It True festival, April 29th-30th and additionally will be announcing North American tour dates for the spring time.
