EVILE Taps Former FALLEN FATE Guitarist

August 14, 2014

British thrashers EVILE have announced the addition of guitarist Piers Donno Fuller (formerly of FALLEN FATE) to the group's ranks.

It came as a huge shock when EVILE guitarist Ol Drake announced he was leaving the band last year.

The remaining members — Matt Drake, Ben Carter and Joel Graham — took some time out to take stock of Ol's decision and what they had achieved as a band at that point and decided that the only course of action was to carry on, and that meant finding someone to replace their departing guitarist.

Replacing Ol was never going to be easy and the band didn't want to rush into making any choice on a potential replacement and so they've spent months going through audition tapes from hundreds of hopefuls.

There was a clear favourite from quite early in the process and after months of auditions and rehearsals the band are confident that they have found the perfect man for the job.

Says Graham: "We had to step back and ask, 'What do we do from this point?' We thought it would be a shame to stop it right now. We had to find the right guy; that's taken time.

"I appreciate people have been waiting for news but we've got to spend time with this guy, get on with him, travel with him and he's got big shoes to fill."

EVILE released its fourth album, "Skull", in May 2013 in Europe on Earache Records and in North America via Century Media/Earache Records. The follow-up to 2011's "Five Serpent's Teeth" was once again recorded with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England. The artwork for the album was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED).
