EVILE Filming 'Infected Nation' Video

British thrashers EVILE have commenced filming the music video for the track "Infected Nation", from the band's sophomore album, "Infected Nations". The clip is being shot at Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England — a notorious studio in which many iconic films, such as "Alien", have been shot. EVILE is 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".

Commented EVILE frontman Matt Drake: "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!"

Added EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake: "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!"

"Infected Nations" is scheduled for release on September 21 in Europe and September 22 in the U.S. via Earache Records. A DRM-free copy of the "Infected Nation" track is available for download at this location.

The cover art for "Infected Nations" was created by Michael Whelan, famous for his sci-fi artworks along with classic album covers from such bands as SEPULTURA and OBITUARY.

EVILE frontman Matt Drake previously stated about the new CD: "When we did [2007's] 'Enter the Grave' two years ago, it was made up of songs we had been playing for a few years and some written in the excitement of actually getting to record an album. We were happy to just be making noise, but since then, we've learnt a few things and we're more interested in making music.

"EVILE fans can expect to hear a more mature offering, an album that concentrates on all aspects of what each member can do; it's a heck of a lot more focused, more satisfying and we're really proud of what we've achieved with it. Russ Russell has helped us to push ourselves to the next level and pull us out of the '80s. The whole retro thing has been cool but we feel it's time for us to leave that behind and stand up for ourselves and show people what we can really do, but fear not, it IS a thrash metal album, it is a 2009 thrash metal album, and we're dying to blow your minds with it."
