Stand Out Track: Thrasher, a clinical staccato riff accompanied by machine-like drumming kick off Evile's call to arms, a song simply about getting into the pit and feeling the adrenaline rush. Unafraid to acknowledge their inspiration, this is a respectful nod to Testament's Into the Pit, Metallica's Whiplash and Megadeth's Rattlehead. Proudly flying the flag for British Thrash, Evile unleashed their accomplished debut in 2007 and received favourable critical reviews. Produced by Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica's Ride The Lightning/Master Of Puppets/...And Justice For All and Artillery's By Inheritance), there is a level of maturity on Enter The Grave which belies the bands tender years. This album is unafraid to worship everything that was great about the 80's. From lyrics referencing Rambo in First Blood to a beefy sound that nostalgically recalls the glory years of Exodus, Slayer and Testament, Enter the Grave is a monstrous, life-affirming thrash metal album that gave the British scene a well deserved kick up the ass.
