American thrash metal band EVILDEAD shares a new single, “Subjugated Souls,” from their upcoming studio album, Toxic Grace. The track is accompanied by a new music video.
Phil Flores comments on the new track:
“This song is about the control that devices and social media have over the youth today, and other generations. It has become the most important thing in people’s lives; which is sometimes sad to see wherever you go people’s faces are buried in their phones, and not a lot of personal interaction going on anymore.”
Juan Garcia adds:
“Our new single ‘Subjugated Souls’ follows up where ‘Raising Fresh Hell,’ released last month, left off. This new track is a straightforward, ramped-up banger with riffs galore! An interesting arrangement; in particular I like the heavy middle section, and also the moody guitar solo by Albert Gonzales.”
In the four years since American thrash metal band EVILDEAD unleashed their comeback album, United States Of Anarchy, the world has changed in many respects while EVILDEAD – solid as a rock – has stayed strong and continues to evolve their dynamic style in a controlled yet targeted manner.
Guitarist Juan Garcia, also of Body Count, comments:
“We took our time with the new songs, really focusing on the arrangements, tempos, and how the riffs flowed together. There’s plenty of hyper moments; one of my favorite tracks is ‘Reverie.’ We wanted the new songs to be powerful, and not just fast for the sake of speed. I’m proud of everyone’s contribution; there’s lots of bangers on this album.”
Their new album, entitled Toxic Grace, is available from Steamhammer/SPV starting May 24, 2024, on CD, LP, and for digital download. The new cover artwork for Toxic Grace was created by Dan Goldsworthy (Haken, Accept, Corpsegrinder, Alestorm).
Vocalist Phil Flores describes Toxic Grace as:
“(an) album featuring a wide range of different styles and sounds, from doom to melodic metal, from traditional heavy metal to our characteristic old-school thrash style.”
Bassist Karlos Medina adds:
“The songs came in with the guitars as a focus, giving me the room to record bass lines with a rhythmic-minded groove. Our recent 2023 summer European tour helped bring some of the live show vibe to inspire a musical union for your metal thrash ears. Enjoy!”
Drummer Rob Alaniz adds:
“EVILDEAD has finally come full circle. Each of our influences is firmly laid out; from death to other extreme forms and of course requisite thrash, it’s all on this new record. Very excited for this new release. We still have lots of gas in the tank!”
