EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments on INFECTED NATIONS:

"We can't wait for everyone to hear our new album, when we did Enter the Grave two years ago it was made up of songs we had been playing for a few years and some written in the excitement of actually getting to record an album, we were happy to just be making noise but since then we've learnt a few things and we're more interested in making music.  Evile fans can expect to hear a more mature offering, an album that concentrates on all aspects of what each member can do; it's a heck of a lot more focused, more satisfying and we're really proud of what we've achieved with it.  Russ Russell has helped us to push ourselves to the next level and pull us out of the '80s.  The whole retro thing has been cool but we feel it's time for us to leave that behind and stand up for ourselves and show people what we can really do, but fear not, it IS a thrash metal album, it is a 2009 thrash metal album, and we're dying to blow your minds with it."

INFECTED NATIONS was produced by RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH), with the cover art created by MICHAEL WHELAN, famous for his sci-fi artworks along with classic album covers from such bands as SEPULTURA and OBITUARY

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments on getting WHELAN involved:

"When we were thinking about artists we could approach for the album's art, we went through many ideas and avenues.  One day I was listening to 'Beneath the Remains' by Sepultura, and whilst looking at the artwork, I thought how much that simple yet detailed art really compliments the music.  I thought "How good would it be to get Michael Whelan to do an original piece?".  I think Matt said something like "Haha yeah, like that'll happen", so as you do, I contacted his manager and got in touch with him.  It turned out he was really interested in the concept of the art and jumped right on board.  I think an album's art is just as important as the music on the disc, so I couldn't be happier with it.  Can't wait to see it on vinyl (with a backpatch maybe?).

"It's such an honour to have a legendary, outstanding artist work with us on a brand new original piece, when just months previous to it starting, we thought it impossible.  Thank you Michael for giving the album even more depth and meaning!"

Hello all,

Today is our last day in the studio so we're having a final check through of all the mixes to make sure everything rocks as hard as it can before we journey back up north. And bon jovi it really does rock hard....

We've had an excellent time down here with Russ and Jimmy Frankles, and the new stuff sounds just as excellent, we're proud of what we've done and we can't wait for everyone to hear the final product.

Feel free to keep throwing questions at us via the blog whenever you want, anything you want to know just ask, and we promise to try and answer at least half unsarcastically.

Cheers, keep your eyes open for track listing/artwork/audio samples/nude photos in the run up to release!!

"On Sun 12th Apr Warpath let us know they have to pull out of our tour (which starts Wed 15th Apr) due to their lead guitarist being 'indirectly involved in a motorcycle accident' on the 8th. We wish them all the best and hope he has a speedy recovery.

We only had 2/3 days to find a replacement band.

It's such short notice for any band to be able to accomodate themselves to a tour which starts in a few days, which already has arrangements and agreements made, but I want to personally thank our friends Trigger the Bloodshed for stepping up and being willing to take part in the tour in place of Warpath. I'd like everyone to show TTB the same respect and consideration they've shown us in this situation by giving them a warm welcome onto the tour at the upcoming shows.

see y'all in erm......a few days!

Phew

Ol Drake"
