 "Evile are coming back next year, we've been hard at work over the past few months with Piers, our new guitarist, to get up to speed with putting a great set together for our first show back at one of our favourite venues (so much of a favourite, I named a song after it!), the Underworld in London, on March 28, 2015. We've still got a lot of work to do in the coming months to make sure we can be better than we've ever been but we're treating this as a new start. I always hoped (idealistically) that Evile could be a band that kept the same members for as long as we lasted, but obviously there are some things you just can't fight or plan and life just isn't that straightforward. We want to make sure we put the time in to be stronger than ever, but we can only all manage to be available at the same for one or two rehearsals per week, which is why we haven't rushed straight back out there. We need to put in the effort in to be as good a live band as we want to be, that's what we're aiming for starting next year. This time, we're going the DIY route, we have no label or manager. Just ourselves and whatever stage people will let us play on. We finally get the chance to tour in support of our last album Skull, which we released through Earache in May 2013. Sadly, we never got the chance to promote it properly, so it seemed to fly under the radar for a lot of people, so we plan on playing that album in full at shows next year as we're really proud of what we put together on that one and think it deserves its time in the spotlight. Check out the rest of the dates we have booked in for next year as we will see the London faithful at the Underworld on March 28 for the resurrection of Evile."

The band have announced a few shows already, including the rescheduled U.K headline tour that has been rescheduled for the second time since 2013. Evile released their latest album Skull in May 2013 through Earache Records, but did not have the chance to properly promote it, so as a result, the band will be playing the album in full at all the upcoming shows. Frontman Matt Drake has posted a statement regarding the shows below:   |
I'm really excited that Evile are going back on the road early next year. Really hope that they will come back to Toronto either next year or at some point soon because I never got to see them, and would absolutely love to. We all know that Ol Drake left some big shoes to fill when he left the band in August 2013, so I totally respect the fact that the band wanted to take their time to make sure the band return stronger than before, and according to the band from recent posts on Facebook, things are going and sounding really well with Piers Donno-Fuller. What Matt said about not getting the chance to properly promote Skull is absolutely true. The band have only played about 13 shows in 2013 in support of the album, and since the band are really proud of what they've done on it, playing the album in full seems like the right decision. Evile's last show was on October 25, 2013 in Bucharest, Romania. Be sure to keep an eye out for more Evile shows to be announced for 2015! This is just the beginning.
