EVIL SURVIVES Announce New Singer; Debut New Song
May 2, 2013, 11 years ago
It's been over two years now since Canadian traditional heavy metal maniacs EVIL SURVIVES released their sophomore album Powerkiller on Heavy Artillery Records. Since the release and heavy touring across North America in 2010 and 2011, the band have parted ways with original vocalist Karl 'Axe n Smash' Warkentin. After an exhaustive search for a Dickinson to call their own - Evil Survives has officially announced the search is over. Pete Klassen has taken the reins.
According to a press release, Klassen brings a global-metal element to the table, hailing from Calgary but currently living in Tokyo and being involved with the Japanese heavy metal scene working for an independent label and translating touring/management contracts for Hokkaido heavy metal legends SABER TIGER.
After tracking instruments in several sessions over the past nine months, Evil Survives is currently putting the finishing touches on the upcoming third full length called Painslave. The album was engineered and mixed once again at Private Ear Studios by longtime ES audio-sensai John Paul Peters (PROPAGANDHI, COMEBACK KID), and co-produced - as always - by Satan herself.
'Destroyer', the first single from the upcoming full length will be made available for free download on Bandcamp.
Destroyer describes Napoleons fateful 1812 Russian campaign, the notorious burning of Moscow and the crippling miseries of the winter retreat.
The new track – the world premier of singer Pete Klassen - will be unleashed online May 31st at 11:58pm sharp.
