| The New wave of traditional metal thread got me encouraged to start looking for bands in the "new wave of thrash metal". After youtubing a few bands, I found Evile. This band is definitely going on my want list.

| I bought both of their albums last year. They're definately helping to keep the old school thrash sound alive. |

I noticed that too... even the album art is influenced by Arise. |

| You guys beat me to it... I was going to say that Evile reminds me of late 80s / early 90s Sepultura meets late 80s (circa Justice) Metallica...
but Evile is a great band - and sounds somewhat more original than most of the other retro-thrash bands...
My 2nd favorite would be Suicidal Angels |

| I liked their first album very much. One of the better "new wave of thrash". Their 2nd album left me a little flat. I think I set my sights too high because I liked their debut so much. I should give it a fresh spin to see if anything changed. It's been awhile.
I'm assuming these guys are soldiering on after the death of one of the original members?

I agree that the first album is much better. The vocals just seemed tired and repetitive on the second one... |

I'd agree. It's been awhile since I've played it, but as soon as I saw your reply, that's the part I remembered. Very repetitive in the lyrics. Same phrases or chorus over and over and over.

Yea, he died right after the release of their last album. But it's been over a year already.

Just read about this again today. Evile were touring together with Entombed, I think. And I read an interview with their drummer today, where he reflects on the night it happened. Another member of Evile broke his jaw in 3 places on the same tour, only weeks before the tragic death!_________________  |

They remind me more of Slayer than anything else on the debut, but on their second album, I can hear a lot more 1980s Metallica influences in the fold. |

That was my gripe with the second album as well. I also didn't care for the change in the vocal delivery. However, the music itself was quite good. While I was expecting another thrash assault like the first one, it did show that they wanted to grow musically. I expect big things from their third album, whenever that gets released. |
