Blackevil

Blackevil is a powerful heavy metal band from Bavaria, Germany, formed in 2013 by members Abyss (ex-Under That Spell) and Hellbastard (ex-Nocturnal). They specialize in a fierce blend of black, thrash, and speed metal, forging a distinctive style that pays homage to classic German thrash legends like Sodom and Kreator, as well as evil speed metal icons such as Razor and Exciter. Their music is marked by a potent mix of melodic black metal, savage speed metal, and traditional heavy metal, featuring soaring guitar leads, aggressive riffs, and versatile vocals ranging from shrieks and growls to roars and cries.

Since their debut album, *The Ceremonial Fire* (2017), Blackevil has continued to evolve, with their 2020 release *Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire* establishing them as a force to be reckoned with in the metal underground. Their sound is both epic and intense, equating to a “black fire tornado” that combines the elemental fury of black thrash with catchy melodies and classic metal influences. Their latest 2024 album, *Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament*, marks a shift towards more epic, mid-paced arrangements while retaining their signature evil and melodic edge, showing their ongoing creative growth. Fans of fierce metal with a dark, mystical vibe will find Blackevil’s fiery sound both captivating and relentless.
