Evil are a band from Japan that plays a blackened form of speed/thrash metal with a touch of hardcore and this is a review of their 2018 demo "The Gate Of Hell" which will be released on cassette on October 21st by Nuclear War Now! Productions.
Drum beats start off the demo before going into more of a heavier, darker and melodic musical direction while all of the tracks are very short in length along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads are done in a very old school style.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the vocals are done in an 80's black metal style along with the music bringing in a great amount of death, speed and thrash metal elements as well as being very heavily influenced by the classic Brazilian and Japanese bands as well as capturing the raw energy of punk rock, the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and they close the demo with a cover of Sarcofago's "Desecration of The Virgin".
Evil plays a musical style that goes back to the 80's era of black, speed and thrash metal while bringing those genres more up to date, the production sounds very heavy while the lyrics cover hell themes.
In my opinion Hell are a very great sounding blackened thrash/speed metal band and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hell's Evil bells" and "Desecration of The Virgin". 8 out of 10.
