EVILE RELEASE OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "UNDERWORLD"

EVILE have released an official lyric video for a brand new track, ahead of the release of the band's new album, SKULL.

The new song, titled "Underworld", is the first official track from SKULL, which is due to be released in Europe on May 27th via Earache Records, and in the USA on June 11th via Century Media/Earache Records.

EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments:

"We are proud to release the first full track from our upcoming album 'Skull' for you to wrap your ears around.  Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what's in store for you all come May 27th.

"Underworld is a title I've wanted to use for a very long time but hadn't found the right song for it; it's named after the venue in London of the same name as it's been one of my favourite places to play for years now.  The song itself isn't directly about the venue but it's definitely dedicated to it.  The song is inspired by a short sci-fi story I read about the earth's surface becoming uninhabitable and people being forced to live deep underground.  It ties in to one of the overall themes of the album which is about things being hidden, be it thoughts, feelings, motivations or truths.  At the same time it's about something else but I don't want to give everything away all at once; it's better if you make up your own mind!

"Hope you enjoy what you hear and we will see you in a few days time with the mighty Kreator where we will be playing new songs for the first time.  See you there!!"

Watch the official lyric video for "Underworld" now at http://youtu.be/gckfqefea_0

SKULL was recorded with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England.  The artwork for the album was painted by artist ELIRAN KANTOR (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED).

SKULL is available to pre-order now in a huge selection of formats and bundles from the Earache Webstore in Europe at http://bit.ly/c7wbbN and in North America at http://bit.ly/9aOHhw

WHITE WIZZARD REVEAL 'THE DEVILS CUT' ALBUM ARTWORK

WHITE WIZZARD have revealed the artwork for their upcoming new album, THE DEVILS CUT, which is due to be released on June 3rd in Europe via Earache Records, and June 25th in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records.

THE DEVILS CUT is the band's third full-length release, and features artwork by CAMERON DAVIS, who is known for his work as lead character designer and illustrator for the Guitar Hero video game series.

View the artwork for THE DEVILS CUT at http://bit.ly/12aoWoU

WHITE WIZZARD bassist and mainman JON LEON comments:

"It was great to work with the amazing artist Cameron Davis again, who also did the art for our album 'Over the Top'.  Cameron and I live in the same building here in LA and he is a really talented guy.  When he presented me the piece for the album cover, I knew right away it was the one.  It has amazing imagery and depth and is very artful, while making a tongue-in-cheek statement poking some fun at organized religion, which is something I feel strongly about.

"Some of my lyrics on this album and previous albums focus on not letting religion and the cult of group belief blind you from the preservation of thinking for yourself and being an individual, so it ties into that very well, as the statement of the piece is how religion is imprisonment for the soul and how, even within its own confines, it forces its believers into blind group submission.  I think any of us that went to catholic school as a child can relate to that nun!!!  It has 'classic metal cover' all over it and it just blew my mind.

"I look forward to this imagery being out there and am proud to have it be a part of White Wizzard.  To have art of this quality to convey the visual aspects of the band is just fantastic."

EVILE drummer BEN CARTER recently commented:

"Evile are looking forward to making some stupidly heavy noise at Crash Records in Leeds on Saturday, 20th April in support of Record Store Day!  We're going to start destroying ears at 4pm, so make sure to get in early as space will be VERY limited!  We guarantee this show will be utter carnage and something very different than the norm.  We can't wait to see how a circle pit will work in a record store and need our fans there to show us!!!  To mark the occasion, we'll be selling our new exclusive 7" split of our cover of Entombed's 'Drowned', with Entombed's original on the flipside.  All this is to show support to indie retailers, so get yer asses down to Crash and show your support for the old school!!!"

WORLD'S SHORTEST ALBUM TO BE FEATURED ON BBC RADIO'S STEVE LAMACQ SHOW

Earache Records is marking this year's Record Store Day with a number of limited edition releases, including "The World's Shortest Album", which will be available on vinyl for the first time.

As part of a Record Store Day special feature, The World's Shortest Album is due to be played in its entirety on the Steve Lamacq show on BBC Radio 6 Music this Thursday, 18th April.

All 83 seconds of the record-breaking album will be played during the show, which airs live from 6:00pm on Thursday and will also feature a number of other Record Store Day tracks alongside artists discussing the records.

Tune in this Thursday to hear The World's Shortest Album at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01ry2qr

The World's Shortest Album crams an assortment of the best grindcore acts from the past two decades into less than two minutes, including NAPALM DEATH, WORMROT, A.C., INSECT WARFARE, BRUTAL TRUTH and more.  The album will be on a 5" vinyl, presented in a 12" sleeve, and will be available this Saturday, 20th April at independent record stores.

Former NAPALM DEATH drummer MICK HARRIS comments:

"'The Kill' and 'You Suffer' came about at the end of my first demo recording 8-track reel to reel the 'From Enslavement to Obliteration', which was me on drums, Justin Broadrick on guitar and backing vocals, and Nic Bullen on bass and vocals.  We never planned these two songs; they were put together - I guess almost improvised - on the spot as we had a few minutes of recording time left over.  I think we were just in that spirit of the studio vibe and amongst ourselves on the spot came up with two short songs, one being the very short 'You Suffer' (we got it even shorter on the Scum recording).  The first time we played it live we must have gotten some laughs, at the classic Mermaid pub we were so often playing at.  Good fun; a doss; a mark of the times.  Great days..."

The full track listing for The World's Shortest Album is as follows (with timings in seconds):

Side A:
01. Napalm Death - You Suffer (1.9s)
02. Napalm Death - Dead (2.7s)
03. Napalm Death - Your Achievement (4.2s)
04. Wormrot - False Grind Sodomy (2.5s)
05. Wormrot - You Suffer But Why Is It My Problem (4.0s)
06. Brutal Truth - Collateral Damage (4.0s)
07. A.C. - Howard Wulkan's Bald (4.0s)

Side B:
01. Lawnmower Deth - Be Scene Not Heard (4.7s)
02. Painkiller - Trailmarker (6.0s)
03. Brutal Truth - Blockhead (7.3s)
04. Morbid Angel - Bil Ur-Sag #2 Lava (6.9s)
05. A.C. - Windchimes Are Gay (9.5s)
06. Insect Warfare - Street Sweeper (13.5s)

Total running time including gaps between tracks: 82.8 seconds

View the flyer/artwork for The World's Shortest Album at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/worldsshortestalbum_rsd.jpg

BRUTAL TRUTH's featured track, "Collateral Damage", is already in the Guinness Book of Records as the "World's Shortest Video", whilst NAPALM DEATH's "You Suffer" also attained status as the "World's Shortest Song".

Record Store Day is taking place on 20th April, 2013, and brings together artists and independently-owned record stores around the world to celebrate the art of music.  Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and sold in independent stores.
