UK metal frontrunners Evile have released a music video for their heavy-as-hell single ‘Monolith’, taken from their new album The Unknown, out now via Napalm Records. Watch the lyric video below.
“Our 4th single from The Unknown is the juggernaut called ‘Monolith’, Evile frontman OL Drake comments. “This song started after Adam sent over the main riff and we got to work on building on it. Our aim was for something menacing and dark, and this might be a contender for my favourite track on the album. The song itself is based on a recurring nightmare I used to have when I was young. I had it for months on end and it always featured this monolith presence with eyes at its base. I would be terrified to go to sleep in case I have it again. Enjoy the chug!”
With their sixth studio album, the band ultimately prove that they are more than just a thrash band, churning out slower tempos with a heavier approach. In addition, melodic vocals meet serious, in-depth lyrical topics. The Unknown sees Evile more profound, personal and deep, while also proving heavier, stronger and more raucous than ever. Tracks such as previously-released singles ‘The Unknown’ showcase the band’s haunting elements, balancing a dark, melodic and almost mesmerizing vibe with colossal, heavy riffage and thundering drums.
The Unknown was recorded by Tim Vincent at Longwave Studios, Cardiff UK, and was produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Clancy at the same Longwave Studios.
