Evile is a UK ThrashMetal band credited with kick-starting the [[GenreRelaunch second wave of Thrash Metal]] alongside MunicipalWaste. They recorded their first album ''Enter the Grave'' in 2007 with Flemming Rasmussen, the RecordProducer who produced [[Music/{{Metallica}} Metallica's]] second, third and fourth albums. With a well received first album and a song released on RockBand they hit a surge of popularity and released a more progressive second album, ''Infected Nations'', in 2009. [[TearJerker Tragedy struck]] when the bassist, Mike Alexander, died on tour leaving a girlfriend and kids to survive him. They've continued touring with a new bassist, and released a third album, "Five Serpent's Teeth", in 2011.

Moving a YMMV item to the YMMV tab.


* GrowingTheBeard: Enter the Grave was straight retro thrash, while Infected Nations was a well-meaning if misguided attempt to modernize their sound and throw off the retro tag; by contrast, Five Serpents Teeth is a far more mature and well-realized attempt at coming into their own.
