Demo Evil (tego z Japonii) w październiku ... na taśmie

Following closely on the heels of Evil’s impressive 2017 debut album, Rites of Evil, Nuclear War Now! is pleased to present the Japanese band’s third demo, The Gate of Hell. The demo shall be released internationally on October 21st on cassette tape format.

Beginning with a self-titled instrumental intro that quickly morphs into the Sarcófago-styled attack of “Hell’s Evil Bell’s,” Evil confirms that it has not lost a step since the recording of the preceding album. This demo combines the ferocity of early Brazilian deathcore, the aggression of Teutonic thrash, and the unhinged nature of Japanese hardcore into three original tracks and a cover of the aforementioned Brazilian masters’ “Desecration of Virgin.” 

These strikes serve as the warning shot over the bow forecasting the siege of Evil’s impending live album on Electric Assault Records, the ensuing second studio album on NWN! in the coming months, and, most urgently, Evil’s upcoming appearance at the Nuclear War Now! / Iron Bonehead-curated Never Surrender Fest, which portends to lay waste to Berlin, Germany on November 1st-3rd of 2018. That festival appearance follows during a stream of European tour dates with Finnish black speed metalpunks Bonehunter - dates after the jump.

In the meantime, hear two new tracks from Evil's The Gate of Hell HERE at Nuclear War Now!'s Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
