EVILE: New Song Available For Streaming

June 6, 2011

"Eternal Empire", a brand new song from EVILE's highly new album, "Five Serpent's Teeth", is available for streaming at this location (free e-mail sign-up required). The track comes off the band's third album, "Five Serpents' Teeth", which will be released on September 26 via Earache Records. The CD was recorded at Parlour Studios in Kettering, U.K., with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR),who also worked on the band's previous CD, 2009's "Infected Nations".

Commented EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake: "It is with great pleasure that we can release 'Eternal Empire' from our upcoming 'Five Serpent's Teeth' album for your listening pleasure.

"It was very difficult to pick a single track to showcase the vast diversity included on this album, and I think this one is a good medium to show the direction we have gone with on 'Five Serpent's Teeth'.

"I can't wait for you to hear more of the album as, like I said, this album goes through quite a lot of different moods and emotions, in terms of feel and direction, yet is still rooted in the 'EVILE sound.'"

Speaking to NME.com, Ol Drake revealed that EVILE's new effort will feature a song inspired by the group's late bassist Mike Alexander, who died in 2009 following a blot clot on his lungs.

"It goes without saying that there would be some element of the new album which was for Mike alone," Drake said.

"We had a few ideas floating around which were out of the ordinary for EVILE, and when Mike passed away, those ideas just started to make more and more sense."

He added: "''In Memoriam''s initial intention was for Mike and Mike alone.

"All of us in the band have different views and thoughts on what the song means and who it is for, but it was born out of a want to include something special for Mike, his family and ourselves.

"As the song grew, it started to take on a life of its own, so to speak.

"It is for anyone who's lost anyone close to them. There is a lot of meaning behind this song, and I expect a few people will question EVILE doing such a song, but if the sentiment isn't understood, I couldn't care less.

"As our producer, Russ Russell, said: 'It's a brilliant song for a brilliant guy.'"
