The artwork for the album was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED).

A brand new track EVILE track, "Head Of The Demon", taken from "Skull", will premiere tonight on the U.K.'s BBC Radio 1 "Rock Show", hosted by Daniel P. Carter. The program will start at midnight at can be streamed live online at this location.

The official lyric video for "Underworld" from "Skull" can be seen below.

Commented EVILE frontman Matt Drake: "We are proud to release the first full track from our upcoming album, 'Skull', for you to wrap your ears around. Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what's in store for you all come May 27th.
"'Underworld' is a title I've wanted to use for a very long time but hadn't found the right song for it; it's named after the venue in London of the same name as it's been one of my favorite places to play for years now. The song itself isn't directly about the venue, but it's definitely dedicated to it. The song is inspired by a short sci-fi story I read about the earth's surface becoming uninhabitable and people being forced to live deep underground. It ties in to one of the overall themes of the album which is about things being hidden, be it thoughts, feelings, motivations or truths. At the same time it's about something else but I don't want to give everything away all at once; it's better if you make up your own mind!"

As previously reported, EVILE celebrated this year's Record Store Day by releasing a split seven-inch picture disc vinyl with Swedish death metal legends ENTOMBED.

The limited-edition release features ENTOMBED's classic 1990 track, "Drowned", along with EVILE's 2012 cover version, available on vinyl for the first time. The seven-inch was available in independent record stores on April 20 in strictly limited quantities.
