force behind many notorious acts, from bands such as AC/DC and VAN HALEN to

upsides and its downsides. Things are no different for MATT and OL DRAKE,
brothers and founding members of British thrash outfit EVILE.

OL DRAKE discussing what it's like to be brothers in the same band at

released on September 21st in Europe and September 22nd in the USA. Two new

EVILE FILMING MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'INFECTED NATION'

British thrashers EVILE are beginning filming today for their new music
video for the track "Infected Nation", from the band's highly anticipated
upcoming new album, INFECTED NATIONS.

The video for "Infected Nation" is being shot at Shepperton Studios in
Surrey, England - a notorious studio in which many iconic films, such as
ALIEN, have been shot. EVILE are once again working with director DAN
FERNBACH (BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES) of STATIC FILMS,
whom the band previously worked with on their video for the track
"Thrasher".

EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments from the set:

"I'm standing by a huge see-through box with smoke in it that I'm about to
spend the next 12 hours in. We're doing a shoot for Infected Nation. We're
likely to choke to death but the video will look very cool!"

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE adds:

"I'm really excited to do this as after the first video we know what we're
in for and can enjoy it - before the first one we were shitting ourselves!
There's lots of smoke and smoke is metaaaaal!"

Keep up-to-date with the video shoot as it happens by checking out photos
and more at http://earache.tumblr.com

Listen to "Infected Nation" along with another new track, "Now Demolition"
at EVILE's official MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/evileuk

INFECTED NATIONS is available to pre-order now as a limited edition CD with
an exclusive bonus track and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes footage.
The album is also available on limited edition double vinyl LP in black as
well as white and red (only 200 each of white and red made).

EARACHE TO RELEASE 118-TRACK, 3-CD SET 'GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC (THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS)'

Earache Records, the original home of many of the bands who created the
grindcore genre, is set to release a special 118-track, 3-CD compilation
called GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC (THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS), featuring some
of the first ever grindcore recordings.

The tracks are all taken from the legendary JOHN PEEL's early BBC radio
sessions, which were recorded at the Maida Vale studios in London, UK
between 1987 and 1990, and mark a historic moment in the world of extreme
music. From the earliest days of Earache Records, JOHN PEEL was a huge
supporter of the label and its extreme bands, offering the likes of HERESY
and NAPALM DEATH the chance to lay down some tracks for his national UK
radio show. In subsequent years, bands such as NAPALM DEATH and CARCASS
have credited PEEL with kick-starting their careers.

Now, Earache Records has obtained the rights from the BBC to release these
groundbreaking radio sessions in their entirety for the first time. The
three-disc set features 118 tracks of classic recordings from NAPALM DEATH,
CARCASS, BOLT THROWER, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, GODFLESH, HERESY, UNSEEN TERROR
and INTENSE DEGREE, combining to a total running time of over three and a
half hours.

The three-disc set comes housed in a slipcase sleeve and includes an
extensive interview with ex-NAPALM DEATH drummer and inventor of the term
"grindcore", MICK HARRIS.

Check out the cover art for GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC at
http://earacherecords.com/myspace/GrindMadness.jpg

GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC (THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS) is due to be released
on October 12th.

WHITE WIZZARD BEGIN RECORDING FULL-LENGTH ALBUM

Los Angeles based new, young heavy metal act WHITE WIZZARD have entered
Skimo Studios in Phoenix, Arizona with producer RALPH PATLAN (MEGADETH, UFO,
MICHAEL SCHENKER) to begin recording their first full-length album.

The as-yet-untitled album is the band's first full release, and follows on
from the recently released HIGH SPEED GTO mini album, which was recorded
with the band's old line-up.

WHITE WIZZARD bassist and founding member JON LEON comments:

"We are headed to Phoenix, Arizona to begin recording our full-length album
with producer Ralph "Talladega" Patlan. He earned the nickname Talladega
(from the American raceway) from Dave Mustaine of Megadeth when they worked
together. He lives up to the name... Ralph is a quick, efficient producer
with a great ear and one of the best in the world for recording rock and
metal. He has worked with UFO, Michael Schenker and Megadeth to name a few.
We will track at his personal studio, "Skimo Studios" in Phoenix and then
mix at the legendary Prairie Sun Recording in Northern California, where
many huge albums in the last 30 years were cut.

"I am excited to get into the studio and finally complete an album with the
new line-up. I have been in writing mode for the last two months, just
putting all the pieces together of lyrics and melodies and trying to create
an album that has a good variety of songs. I think we have a great bunch of
material to record now, and I look forward to seeing how it all sounds when
the record is completed. The goal of White Wizzard is to always stick to
our roots of main influences and inspiration, while trying to create our own
sound and identity. I am confident this record is going to turn some heads.
Some great in-your-face, good times, melodic metal, some epic stuff and some
of the crossover hooky stuff that made the mini album so fun too. I am
happy with the balance of songs.

"We will post some updates from the studio and we will be filming the entire
process. Hoping to have this out early 2010 on Earache Records worldwide
and then tour like mad to support it. Should be a great year... Until then,
thanks for supporting White Wizzard!!"
