EVILE RAISE ONE THOUSAND POUNDS FOR BRITISH LUNG FOUNDATION AT FREE CHARITY SHOW

EVILE performed to a packed venue on Tuesday night at the band's free charity show in London, UK, raising £1,040 for charity in the process.

Along with label mates SAVAGE MESSIAH, EVILE rocked out the Old Blue Last with a selection of their hits alongside tracks from their latest album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, with donations collected for the British Lung Foundation in memory of the band's late bassist, MIKE ALEXANDER.

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments:

"Now I've fully recovered from the show, I can write something more than 'argh thanks!'.  We turned up at the Old Blue Last fully expecting there to be a small turnout with just two weeks notice of the show, but it ended up packed from front to back with metalheads.  What more could we ask for?  The point of this show was to celebrate the release of our single and video for 'In Memoriam', a track initially created as a tribute to our late, and great bassist, Mike Alexander.  We were taking donations on the night for the British Lung Foundation, in memory of Mike, and we managed to raise £1,040 for the cause.  Thank you SO much to everyone who came down, thrashed with us and donated whatever they could give.  Thank you!!"
