Evile are an English thrash metal band from Huddersfield, formed in 2004. They have experienced numerous line-up changes over the years, with drummer Ben Carter being the only member of the original line-up to have stayed consistently. The current line-up consists of Carter, bassist Joel Graham, lead guitarist and vocalist Ol Drake, and rhythm guitarist Adam Smith, who replaced Drake's older brother Matt in 2020.
Evile are notable for being part of the thrash metal resurgence movement of the mid-to-late 2000s, and they were praised by Kerrang! for "Carrying the genre's whole 'revival' on their shoulders." To date, the band has released six studio albums: Enter the Grave (2007), Infected Nations (2009), ''Five Serpent's Teeth (2011), Skull (2013), Hell Unleashed (2021) and The Unknown'' (2023).
