Denizens of darkness - rejoice! The Evil is a wholesome bunch playing Christian contemporary... Okay, that's not true. Really, they're an unholy alliance from Brazil playing an especially ghastly strain of doom metal, fraught with haunting chants and chilling melodies. They just put out their self-titled debut and it is the perfect soundtrack for any occult ceremonies or rituals you might be hosting this summer. Seriously, the name "The Evil" was NOT chosen lightly, as the sound itself seems to be infused with the wicked souls of the damned. And for all the dark atmosphere this album brings, it does not skip out on the heavy! The bass absolutely bellows through the songs and the guitar tone has a satisfying crunch that could snap your ribs off. As the music churns and groans the vocals sing out with a certain Rob Halford-esque quality, especially when hitting the high notes. There's a touch of synth that seems to draw out the most ominous moments and bring everything together in a way that will make you break out in a cold sweat. So get your cultist robes ready, draw a pentagram in blood, and let this one rip!
