British thrashers EVILE are currently in the studio recording what will be the band's third full-length album.
EVILE are recording the new album at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England, and are once again working with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR), who produced the band's previous effort, 2009's INFECTED NATIONS.
EVILE have been posting a series of videos to keep fans up-to-date with what's going on in the studio. Watch the new video, including a cover of Rebecca Black's infamous song, "Friday", below:
EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE speaks from the studio:
"Having a lot of fun tracking this album. Yesterday our manager, Julie, came to visit and listen to a few tracks. Her reaction was very positive, so even more great vibes going around. All drums done, nearly all bass done, all rhythm guitars done, all guitar harmonies done. We're starting guitar solos today, and vocals are well on their way.
"All I can say is, I love the stuff on this album. Out of the three albums we've done so far, I've had the most fun on this, and this is the most creative we've been in terms of writing. Simply can't wait for people to get the completed package!"

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE updates:
"We're really getting things done now. We've got half the rhythm guitar tracks done and we've just started tracking vocals too. It's sounding huge and I'm loving the material. Getting a great sound out of my Moser flying Vs. Joel should be coming back in to start tracking his bass soon, so that'll be interesting seeing how his sound stands up against what's been tracked. Can't wait for everyone to get this album and blast it loud!"

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments from the studio:
"All drums are down and sounding great. Huge and well written. Ben did an awesome job and got them down fast. We're on the eighth day now and we've just started tracking the guitars. There's a very relaxed and fun atmosphere in the studio, so I think that's helping to get things done. It's my birthday today too, so buy me some Jagermeister or some porn and shout something at me on Facetube!"

OL DRAKE, lead guitarist for British thrashers EVILE, is featured as a guest musician on the new album from German thrash legends DESTRUCTION.
OL DRAKE had previously filled in for DESTRUCTION guitarist MIKE SIFRINGER in 2009 at Portugal's Caos Emergente festival, after SIFRINGER broke a finger on his left hand. DRAKE was asked to join the German thrashers in the studio to play some solos and harmonies on the new DESTRUCTION release, titled DAY OF RECKONING.
OL DRAKE comments:
"Just got a package through the mail from sir Schmier, which contained the newest Destruction album, "Day of Reckoning". I had the huge honour of doing a few guest solos and harmonies on the album, as well as on their awesome cover of Dio's "Stand Up and Shout" (which is one of my favourite Dio tracks!). To fly over there, do some recording, backing vocals and hang out with Mike and Schmier again was an experience I'll never forget.
"Being a big Destruction fan, I can't put into words how unbelievable it is, and was, to be a part of the album. Also, with being a Destruction fan, I can safely say this is one of the best albums they've done in a long time (no, not because I'm on it... Well, a little haha). Our old bassist, Mike, was a huge Destruction fan, so I really hope he'd be proud. I remember when I told him I'd be standing in on guitar for Destruction's Mike at a show in Portugal; he simply called me a "bastard". I think he was more excited than I was haha. Long live Destruction!"
