Evile is a UK [[Thrash Metal]] band credited with kick-starting the [[Genre Relaunch|second wave of Thrash Metal]] alongside [[Municipal Waste]]. They recorded their first album ''Enter the Grave'' in 2007 with Flemming Rasmussen, the [[Record Producer]] who produced [[Metallica (Music)|Metallica's]] second, third and fourth albums. With a well received first album and a song released on [[Rock Band]] they hit a surge of popularity and released a more progressive second album, ''Infected Nations'', in 2009. [[Tear Jerker|Tragedy struck]] when the bassist, Mike Alexander, died on tour leaving a girlfriend and kids to survive him. They've continued touring with a new bassist, and released a third album, ''Five Serpent's Teeth'', in 2011.
----
Evile presents examples of the following tropes
* [[Blood Bath]] - "Bathe In Blood", natch. More specifically, the song is referring to Elizabeth Bathory's baths in blood in order to restore youth and the vanity such an act entails.
* [[Other Common Music Video Concepts|Common Music Video Concepts]] - The garage rock version of the trope for "Thrasher"
* [[Cover Version]] - [[Pantera (Music)|"Cemetery Gates"]] (See [[Irony]]) and [[Nirvana (Music)|"Lounge Act"]] - for the Kerrang! Tribute Album to [[Nirvana (Music)|Nirvana]].
** Guitarist Ol Drake has even done heavy metal renditions of [[Lady Gaga (Music)|Lady Gaga's]] Born This Way and The Edge of Glory.
* [[Everything's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]] - "Killer from the Deep"
* [[Filk Song]]/[[Shout -Out]] - [[Rambo|"First Blood"]]
* [[Genre Relaunch]] -They had a large hand in the resurgence of [[Thrash Metal]] in the [[Turn of the Millennium|mid 00's]], though they were by no means alone.
* [[Heavy Meta]] - "Thrasher"
* [[Irony]] - The last song Evile recorded before Mike Alexander died? A cover of [[Pantera (Music)|"Cemetery Gates"]]
* [[Gladiator Games]] - "We Who Are About to Die"
* [[Kneel Before Zod]] - In the chorus of "Thrasher"
* [[Man On Fire]] - "Burned Alive"
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] - Like most [[Thrash Metal]], about an 8
* [[One-Man Army]] - "[[First Blood]]." Justified in that [[Shout -Out|its a song about]] [[Rambo]]
* [[Pun-Based Title]] - Evile is a portmanteau of Evil and Vile
* [[The Plague]] - "Infected Nation"
