EVILE is saving the heavy metal music.

[@TheHolyLoomis]

Matt sounds like a perfect combination of Tom Araya and James Hetfield. Best vocalist in metal right now!

[@Jonny7986]

When i heard this song first time in the radio, i honest to god thought it was Metallica song, that i had never heard before. 😆😆😅😅🤘🤘👌👌

I thought it was Matt Tuck 😂

[@Mazaroth]

When i heard this the first time i was like "Is this metallica?" because Matt really sounds like James Hetfield.

[@thedarkomasia2168]

Evile is arguably the best band from the New Wave of Thrash Metal. This song is one that goes to show that Evile are the best. You can also hear the strong Pantera, Metallica and Slayer influence.

[@andreanicolo7070]

TheDarkomasia i'm sorry...but there are bands that are way better that evile...ok evile is a great band, with a great vocalist and a great lead guitarist, but if you check out bands like Vektor (listen to outer isolation) you'll change idea

[@andystoneburner4641]

Andrea nicolò That didnt change my mind

[@theradrat13]

Andrea nicolò Vektor has a different sound, closer to a progressive set up. Evile however has riffs and vocals so similar to the aforementioned bands that they are bringing back the thrash style we all love and cherish(if it ever left). Not saying that Vektor is not as good as Evile, It just seems wrong to classify it as a complete thrash metal band, like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth....It would be wrong to compare them, but Evile seems to be part of the New Wave and Vektor is on the fence.

[@jamesluna162]

Havok is really sick my favorite at the moment. Time is up is a thrash masterpiece

[@Crabcore1]

+TheDarkomasia HeXen is (was) one of the best, it's a real shame that they're no longer active.

[@sanmechrocker]

I am so stoned I read this title as "Evil- Cunt" and I was so freaked out until the mid song that this is so brutal but then I read it again and realized that "Okay, MY Bad" but thankfully I opened this just because I was confused with the title and now i'm a fan of this band

[@meganega123]

Probably the best comment i've ever read anywhere :DD

i have been following them from almost at the beginning and they never seize to amaze me they get better everytime and they deserve the respect

I absolutely love how Evile actually lets the bass track be heard, and very prominently! Unlike many modern bands who just mix out the bass track and only has the bassist like some kind of mascot.

[@mexiluvsw]

this band is totally underrated!! they are saving thrash metal from extinction! i cant believe theres only 600 thousand+ views it deserves more!!!

[@WreeckCreational]

I'm about to blow minds here with a never-before seen comparison, so daring, so new, prepare to be both shocked and aroused. This modern thrash metal band....... Sounds like one of the big four.. "WOW, BLAM, OMG, WOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S SAID THAT! I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A COMPARISON MADE BEFORE!"

As an addendum to my previous post, Evile wins massive respect from me for making a song that has that Big Metal Boom sound to it and they do it in E standard; It was good enough for Metallica and Megadeath, and it's good enough for Evile too.

even as a christian, i can't help but like this song. it's just so awesome.

[@MrKillerswamp]

Are they against religion??

[@014matt]

the point of the song is to say that christianity is a cult. a lot of metal bands have these sorts of lyrcs, but may of them at least have members who don't actually believe in these anti-religious themes. even if these guys do, the song is still too damn cool to not enjoy.

[@PostApoc.Daydreams]

Still you shouldnt let your beliefs affect your musical taste

Warbringer and Havok have to be in there. Other candidates would be Violator, Municipal Waste, Evile and Lazarus A.D. I think my list would be: Warbringer Havok Violator Municipal Waste But I suppose it's just a matter of personal opinion in the end...

RainingBlood97 Eviles vocalist is singing 5 songs on the new megadeth album, imagine megadeth fronted by James hetfield of the 1986s era. I need to know are the rumours true?

[@rainingblood979]

Ed Ok I have no idea, I know Lamb of God's drummer and Angra's guitarist is playing on the album. Also Steve Wariner will be playing steel guitar somewhere in the album, but as far as Matt singing on the album? I have no idea. I'd like to hear that, though. I know Ol wants to focus on his own music and family but imagine if he joined Megadeth if Kiko doesn't work out? That would be awesome in my opinion.

[@edok2306]

No, he shouldn't quit his band he just need to guest star in 4-5 song of megadeth's new album. Spread the news. DEMAND it, and we shall be SUPPLIED!

[@rainingblood979]

Ed Ok Ol actually quit Evile in 2013 to work on family and his own solo stuff. He actually has an album coming out this year I think. The old guitarist for Fallen Fate is his replacement in Evile.

[@PITBULL1625]

[@el1ex]

I'm catholic, so in order to listen to this song i like to think that it talks about those religions that charge the believers D:

[@el1ex]

Catholicism doesn't charge you anything... You can be a catholic ang go to church for your entire life without spending a penny :D

[@Zenrich]

Túlio Alves Depends on the country, for example Finnish church has a "church tax" which is of course utter bullshit.

[@AtticusStount]

I believe that the song is about Scientology or various 'ism movements. Though, they are so huge that they fall under the 'sect' category. Don't worry Catholics, a few (or more than a few) of your priests may act with the same lack of accountability as cult leaders, but you are too huge to be described as a cult. Honestly, I am certain that belonging to a church can be quite spiritually beneficial to a number of you.

[@minimalisthealth]

Awesome, I share sentiments. Catholic Metalhead from India here.

[@minimalisthealth]

***** why do you speak non sense? Have you even ever been to a Catholic Mass? If not, please don't come either. The church is for wise people, not for silly superstitious people who believe the World was formed of a random collision between two objects that was created by no one.

Religions are just a plain waste of time. I was a Christian praying to The Lord everyday and going to church, living by the commandments, etc. it is a waste of time because I thought praying would make my life better but it made no difference. Than I had to go to church and shit and that was a waste of time. I always had doubts about Christianity but I became an atheist at around 10 or 11, proving that I was smarter at 10 than most adults and seniors

i love this track

[@kylebatteson9572]

Sounds like a modified version of Lepper Messiah by Metallica. The way this guy sings is strikingly similar to James Hetfield. The lead guitarist is doing a decent job at copying Kirk Hammett's style, but there will never be another Kirk Hammett. I'll hand it to these guys, they've got skill. These guys need to break away from being like Metallica. I know a lot of people have beef with how Metallica is now, and want to relive the Puppetz days, but these guys need to find their own identity. Like I said, these guys have skill so I'm not attacking them. I actually love 'In memorium'. Some doofus dubbed it a Metallica song and gave it the title - 'The Darkness'. Unless you've never heard of Metallica, they could easily confused with them. I hope they don't get all Satanic and shit, unless the name 'Evile' really represents that, that'll be a shame. All these guys need is their breakthrough album that seperates them from the rest and they might be the next best Heavy Metal band out there. Metallica had 'Master of Puppets' and 'Black' and Megadeth had 'Peace Sells' and 'Rust in Peace'. I wonder what these guys will do. Good Luck to them.

[@rafaelrios7060]

they're not tryineg to copy anyone they're a retro-trash metal band,that is why they sound a lot with metallica and slayer.

[@winlover37]

Mattulaak Thank you for saying it, someone needed to! People give me the furry eyebrow when I tell them I prefer Ride the Lightning.

[@kylebatteson9572]

Mattulaak You forget that a lot of techniques have been refined over the years by learning from what Metallica did. There are faster and heavier bands, but as far as melody and song structure goes, Metallica will always be one of the best heavy metal bands.

[@kylebatteson9572]

Mattulaak I wasn't referring to Kirk, although his solo stuff on AJFA was probably his best. I was referring to what the band as a group produced in the heavy metal genre.
