Evile have released a lyric video for the track “Reap What You Sow,” from forthcoming record The Unknown, out July 14 via Napalm Records.
Frontman OL Drake states:
“The second single from ‘The Unknown’ is “Reap What You Sow”—a more up-tempo riff-fest. Without wanting to share too much about this track’s personal meaning, this song is about hypocrisy—someone saying not to do something, then they do it themselves. I gave Ingo, the lyric video director, no direction other than the lyrics, so the video is his own interpretation of the song. There’s a down-picking riff challenge in the middle section of the song. Enjoy!”
OL Drake adds:
“We’re really excited to start revealing the next page in the Evile chapter. We’ve taken a completely different approach on this album, and I looked inward for inspiration; I’ve opened myself up like I never thought I would. We’ve always been at 500mph, like on the previous album (‘Hell Unleashed’), and this time around, we felt we wanted to try the polar opposite—some slower-than-we’ve-ever-done tempos with more melodic vocal hooks, and give Adam some freedom on the leads/writing.
“I’ve been working on my vocals since diving in the deep end in 2021, and we’ve worked hard for two years on this, so I’m excited for everyone to hear the fruits of our labor. We’re really proud of what we’ve all accomplished with this album. This is the one I hope can catapult us to more ears and places we haven’t been before to play for people who are constantly asking us to play in their area.”
The Unknown is Evile’s sixth full length record since forming in 2002.
