Old-school might sell these days but, for Danish heavy metallers EVIL, it’s not a selling point. And, as they prove in their new digital single and lyric video “Divine Conspiracy”, it’s the only way they have it – their way of life.  The opening track (after the intro) of their upcoming album attacks the listener with a steel riff, entwined in a melodic guitar lead that makes the perfect bridge for Martin Steene’s powerful tone. We would call it old-school… But then again, it’s just the EVIL way.

“Divine Conspiracy” is out now as a digital single and is released today also as a lyric video. Check out the video on From The Vaults YouTube page or in the link below.

“Book Of Evil” will be released in digital, CD and LP (crystal and golden vinyls, each limited to 300 units) by From The Vaults on May 27th, 2022. Pre-orders are available here.

Back in the early 80s, the Danish heavy metal scene was taking its first steps, learning a (very) own path away from the strong rock and punk rock backgrounds that the country provided their youth. Those were the years where the highly acclaimed metal bands Mercyful Fate and Artillery took form. But also a few others that, in the following years, saw their career follow different paths and fates, loading to disbanding with a band or simply fading away. Formed in 1983, Copenhagen-natives EVIL were one of these bands. Their debut demo, already in ‘83, set the Danish heavy metal on fire with their heavy metal frenzy and their now-mythical 1984 EP “Evil’s Message” was the confirmation that Denmark had probably one of the strongest metal scenes in Europe back then. Unfortunately, that wasn’t meant to last and the band disappeared from circulation in 1985.

A return to action was later tried in 2015, with original drummer Freddie Wolf, now on guitars, leading a new line-up that released the debut album “Shoot The Messenger”. But Evil’s career still wasn’t meant to be and the band laid dormant again… Until now!

The mighty Evil is now re-born with new joining members including vocalist Martin Steene (Iron Fire, ex-Force Of Evil), drummer Henrik Molin (ex-Shadowspawn), bassist Jakob Haugaard (Iron Fire) and guitarist Nikolaj Ihlemann (ex-Nightlight), continuing the original inspirations of bands like Judas Priest and Accept.

In its current revitalized form, Evil has recorded ten new songs. The album, titled “The Book Of Evil”, was produced in Hellfire Studio, Copenhagen, and Antfarm Studio, Aarhus, mixed and co-produced by rewarded metal producer/mixer Tue Madsen. “We have made the new material in the spirit of the eighties but with a modern metal state of mind” Freddie Wolf says.

The band is now ready to take back a leading role among old-school metal bands.

Evil is coming!
