Following their latest, critically acclaimed album, Hell Unleashed (2021), July 14, 2023, sees England’s metal masters EVILE strike again with their sixth full-length record, entitled The Unknown, via Napalm Records!
Today, EVILE have unleashed a lyric video for their vigorous new album single, “Reap What You Sow” – a hammering world of sound that builds up to a stomping thrash manifesto!
Frontman OL Drake offers: “The second single from The Unknown is “Reap What You Sow” – a more up-tempo riff-fest. Without wanting to share too much about this track’s personal meaning, this song is about hypocrisy; someone saying not to do something, then they do it themselves. I gave Ingo, the lyric video director, no direction other than the lyrics, so the video is his own interpretation of the song. There’s a down-picking riff challenge in the middle section of the song. Enjoy!”
On The Unknown, EVILE are more profound, personal and deep, while also proving heavier, stronger and more raucous than ever! The ten new album tracks showcase the band’s haunting elements and the stirring, “new” side of EVILE, balancing a dark, melodic and almost mesmerizing vibe with colossal, heavy riffage and thundering drums, while still staying true to their explosive trademarks and roots. The Unknown unchains the rampant songwriting talent of these British metal frontrunners, proving that thrash does not always have to be fast-paced. It can also be in-your-face with outstanding musical skill, without fear of showing a still unknown facet of lyrical depth and an enthralling, versatile, brave modern metal sound!
