Evile - Infected Nations (2009)

Evile's 2009 follow-up to Enter The Grave finds more of the same thrashing madness right off the bat.  Don't let the slow lull of intro song "Infected Nations" fools you; it quickly launches into some of the most speedy and yet controlled riffage I've ever heard.  The punishing solos continue to be churned out, just listen to standout track Nosophoros and you'll hear exactly what I mean.  The fretwork is simply impeccable.  Needless to say, Evile has taken a huge step forward on their sophomore album and are making no plans to look back.  The songs are better structured, the lyrics are more focused and the amps have been cranked to 11.  Turn this one up loud when you listen to it!  Unfortunately in October of 2009, Evile would lose their bass player, Mike Alexander, whilst on tour due to a blood clot on his lung.  A replacement player was found by the name of Joel Graham (formerly of Rise To Addiction).  Graham is currently in the studio working with the rest of the band on the follow-up to Infected Nations which is scheduled for release in 2011.  Only time will tell if the music holds up with a line-up change under their belts now as the third album for most bands tends to make them or break them.
