Evile Release Pretty Cool Video For ‘Cult’

Remember that Radiohead video for House of Cards? You know, the one that was shot with no cameras or lights, just lasers and a fancy system to pick it all up? Well, Evile have released a video for Cult, which comes off their upcoming album Five Serpent’s Teeth, and it’s, in my opinion, a much cooler take on this idea.

Warbringer to Tour U.S. with Overkill

Los Angeles thrash titans Warbringer just completed a massive European tour and have now set their sights back on North America as they prepare to embark on a cross-country tour with genre legends Overkill alongside Vader, God Dethroned, Evile and Woe of Tyrants. Be sure to visit www.myspace.com/warbringer to view their complete, rigorous touring itinerary. 
John Laux (guitars) further states: “Just finishing up our latest European tour, which was definitely a ‘whirlwind’. We’ve spent the past two months all over Europe, doing five weeks of shows with Evile and then three weeks of headlining dates, mainly focusing on Eastern Europe. The conditions were rough as we did our own dates crammed into a van with seven people and all of our gear. Also, the weather just seemed to get colder and colder. Fortunately no one got too sick and all the fans who came out each night made every gig worthwhile. It was cool to venture into countries like Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary. We were happy to try a lot of the local food, wine and beer. We’ll have a lot of great memories from this run.
