British thrashers EVILE are currently tearing their way around Europe on a headlining European tour.

The “Infecting Nations” tour has seen EVILE perform a string of shows up and down the UK, with the band now in mainland Europe. Joining EVILE on the tour are American thrashers WARBRINGER and Israel’s THE FADING. This is also EVILE’s first tour with their new bassist, JOEL GRAHAM, who joined the band following the tragic death of their original bassist, MIKE ALEXANDER.

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE reports from the road:

“The tour is going great. We’re getting along brilliantly with Warbringer and The Fading and it’s just a general good feeling all around. I’m glad we’re out with really friendly people, as I was dubious about going out so soon after our recent tragedy, but it’s going good. Myself and Kevill have been playing Street Fighter 2 non-stop. I’m always Ryu, he’s always Blanka. It is an epic battle.

“Thank you to everyone who’s coming out to the shows, you’re really making us feel welcome and happy to be back on stage. Can’t wait to play tonight, as the last time we were in Italy was amazing.”
